Doo Doo Batman Party Prep

by Vanessa Brady on 3 May 2013 in Kids, Parties with 2 Comments

We’re in full swing prep mode for Max’s 2nd birthday party over here! I gotta admit, I was a little hesitant about having a Batman themed birthday party for a two year old but Max is kinda obsessed with him right now so here we go…another superhero party. (We just had a Fantastic Four party for Jack’s 4th birthday in December…man, I’ve got to upload the printables for that!)

Max only knows of the vintage 1960′s Batman (which he calls “Doo Doo Batman” on account of the opening song) so we’re going full on camp for this party. Seemed a little more appropriate than the more recent Christian Bale/Heath Ledger version. ;)

Little People Birthday Party

by Vanessa Brady on 31 July 2012 in Kids with 1 Comment

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!
