Little People Birthday Party

Little People Birthday Party from Tried & True BlogMy sister (who just recently moved here from Houston, yay!) had the absolute cutest birthday party for my nephew, Miles, a couple weekends ago. The theme was based off the Fisher Price Little People that, if you grew up in the 80′s, we all know and love so much!

I helped her a bit with some of the computer stuff since she had just moved into a new house barely 3 days before the party. The ideas were all hers, I was just the work hands behind them! (What are sisters for?) I’ll be uploading the pennant flags, wish cards, t-shirt iron on, and the cupcake toppers as Tried & True Free Printables tomorrow. Uploaded them!

The favors she made were crazy cute too. Wood balls with a Little Person face burned on for the babies and a chalkboard slate with a blank Little Person form for the older kids. The Hello stamp was custom carved out of a stamp pad and added a little rustic charm to everything. Word to the wise, be careful when using the sharp stamp cutting tools!

The super healthy cake recipe was a carrot cake from Super Baby Food. Adriana had the great idea of using a store bought sugar sheet to make the face. Such an easy idea that worked perfectly!

All in all, it was a perfect day to celebrate the first year of one of my favorite little boys ever. Happy birthday, Miles!

Nights and Years – T&T Free Print

My three year old son started going to a preschool/summer daycare thing about a month ago and I find myself wondering, however cliche, where did the time go? Since I still have a wee little one (Max, 1 yr old), our nights are still indeed long but sending Jack away two days out of the weeks has been a reminder that the babies who crawl into my lap eventually crawl, walk and then run away, taking my heart with them, wherever they go.

I drew up another coloring page to remind me that “The nights are long but the years are short.” Feel free to print it out and use as you desire (personal use only, please). This parenting gig sure can be rough sometimes, we all need reminders! Click on the image above to print the Nights and Years free T&T print (pdf).
