Pixie Party | Fairy Birthday Invitation

Oh, Hi! Remember me? I used to blog here regularly once upon a time. Not surprisingly, things have been more chaotic in my world since little Teddy was born. Between the late night feedings, toddler wrangling (that's a thing, right?) and long hours at my day job, I haven't had much time to spend on new creative projects, least of all something pinterest perfect.

Caitlin's fourth birthday is coming up in June though, and I've been having fun gathering inspiration for a small and simple pixie party.  Just a few friends from school, a fresh color palette + some crafts. And cake of course. There will always be cake.

A new party theme means I also have a new invite ready for the shop. Caitlin loves her some Disney fairies, but luckily she's still impressionable enough that I was able to create more of a Tinkerbell-esque style design without her pitching a fit.  You know I love a more clean + modern approach so I'm pretty happy about this one... how about you?

Over the Moon | Birth Announcements

Today our baby boy Theo is a month and a half old. The part of me that's sleep deprived can't wait for the next few months to fly by so we can get back on more of a schedule, but as a mommy I'm in awe of how quickly time is passing and how big he is already.  As in like 12+lbs big...eek.  I'm so glad I have my phone nearby to snap quick pictures because it's pretty crazy to watch the changes happening overnight.

I finally understand how second babies tend to get neglected in the memories department- my hands are so full between him and my daughter that stopping to record the milestones can be such a challenge.  Honestly I haven't been quick to accomplish much since he was born, but I have to give myself credit for remembering order his baby announcements.  

I had such a positive response over the Minted cards we sent out at the holidays that I already knew I would be ordering from them again. I instantly fell for this design... it's such a sweet, simple style and I keep telling people that we're 'over the moon' about Theo's arrival.

I've said it before, but one of my very favorite things about Minted is all the options they offer for customization.  I ordered rounded corners on the cards, kraft paper envelopes and best of all... coordinating return address stickers with a personal message.

So cute right?  I'm just so glad to have something with his stats and a good photo to hang onto, even if I never do get around to making a baby book. Here's the original picture I used for the card... boy oh boy do I love this little bundle.
