EASTER BASKET GOODIES

I love all the holidays, but my top 2 are always Christmas & Easter. Those two holidays hold a special place in my heart, and I love that we get to celebrate in a super special way. 

Putting together those Easter baskets are just so fun!

I usually put in alot of the same things each year - spring jammies, swimsuits, sandals, something to cuddle, accessories, sunglasses and something to be creative with. For Ben's basket, becuase he's a bit older I usually do some different items. This year I'll be including a few books, pokemon cards set, starucks GC, and a few treats.

Here's what we included this year for the girls!

Hand Knit Dolls Cuddle + Kind

We love supporting Cuddle + Kind as each doll sold provides 10 meals to children in need. Such an amazing company that gives back to the community in so many ways! An Easter gift that gives back.

PUPPY BIRTHDAY PARTY

Over the weekend we had the sweetest little birthday party for Maddie. 

If you're interested in the Puppy Vet Pet Adoption feel free to look here!

I loved the idea of the Puppy Pet Party, and wanted to keep her birthday celebration at home along the same themes.

On her actual birthday, we allowed her to finish her school early, celebrated with cake in the afternoon and had a movie night after dinner. A simple way to celebrate my sweet big girl!

After lunch we set up a little party (somehow with all 4 little ones, it always seems like a party!) with the cutest little puppy partyware. I loved the look of the blush pink with the white and black. And those puppy plates are the cutest I've seen!

 I bought a simple fresh berry cake from Whole Foods, and added my own sprinkles and topper to give it a more custom look. 

And I added the cutest little puppies with party hats to the cake too. They made it look so festive!

Afternoon cake together was the perfect relaxing day for her birthday!

PUPPY VET PET ADOPTION PARTY

I'm SO excited to share this sweet little Vet Pet Adoption party with you!

I can't believe Maddie is 8! Dont blink friends, your babies grow up so quickly!

Maddie has always been such an animal lover, and I coudn't wait to go with a vet pet adoption theme. I oringially found this adorable idea from Joni at Lay Baby Lay. I took the idea and ran with it!

We collected some adorable puppies who needed to be adopted and have vet visists. Maddie got to be our little Vet who was taking care of them, and fixed up any fractures the puppies had. We set up vet appointments for some friends outside on our covered porch and they got to go through the process of adopting and having a vet visit together. Our little guests were able to make their puppies collars, pick out vitamins and decorate a puppy home.

We sent them off afterwards with a hot chocolate and cupcake to go...which made for a short and sweet visit!

I know everyone has different restrictions in this pandemic, and we ultimately decided on having it outdoors, distanced, and with friends coming at different times to eliminate cross contact. It was actually the perfect birthday party idea and I loved that we could still see a few special friends/cousins wile maintaining a distance. 

We started off with inviting a few close friends/cousins and then making appointments throughout the afternoon making sure to space them apart so we could clean and make sure they didn't cross paths. We allowed about 20-25 min for each guests appointment and everyone wore masks to keep the puppies safe. 

We collected the cutest little puppies and set up a few fun activities for the guests to participate in. They all got to choose their puppy, fill out their patient forms, look at x-rays, make puppy collars and decorate a simple puppy home. All distanced! It was honestly so cute. 

Maddie loved every detail of the party and loved that she got to help me prepare and set up the party. She told me this was her favorite party yet, and found so much magic in it - even though it was so different than a regular party would have been. So thankful we got to celebrate our sweet girl in a big way!
