Of course our family would have a Nutcracker celebration, Sully has been obsessed for two years now and the obsession is only growing. Now even Teddy and Elouise have grown to love them! I reached out to the ladies from Arla Creations to see if they’d want to work together to create a nutcracker plate. They knocked it out of the park, I couldn’t love them more! I grabbed some snacks, cut out some bread into stars, and picked up some donuts. It was either the most high maintenance play date or the most relaxed party I’ve ever thrown. Either way, the kids had a blast!

Our whole family LOVES the Toy Story movies and with that our home has acquired more than a fair share of toys and memorabilia. With Toy Story 4 coming out this year, the fever was fresh, and it was obvious what theme to go with for the boys birthday party. Typically I go full Pinterest and cram as many people into our house as possible. This year I wanted to take it down a notch so I only invited our immediate families and our best friends. For decorations I found everything I needed at Party City. I linked everything for ya too (which I hardly do anymore because I’m lazy lol) but I know I’m going to get a thousand questions! Sully is still talking about his “Toy Story birthday” so I think that means it was a success.

* Thanks to Party City for gifting us the decorations. All opinions shared are my own. To read more about my sponsorship and disclosure policy click here.

October 1st means one things in my book, it’s Halloween time! The last two years I’ve partnered with Primary to create some fun DIY costumes using their awesome basic clothing for kids. The first year for sure had more DIYs  (you can find it here) but then last year with a new baby I went as easy as possible with a “no DIY” costume roundup (here’s that one). This year I fell right in the middle, with some quick and simple DIY steps. Plus, this time I have three kiddos big enough to rope into the dressing up, but who am I kidding they pretty much love it as much as I do! All three costumes ideas are meant for 3 kiddos and they are all SO fun. I have a favorite and it for sure wasn’t the one I had thought I would love, keep reading to see which one it is!
