Egg Hunt 2 and Easter Snapshots

Here are a few pictures from the hunt we had last Sunday.

We had a blast getting to hangout with some current neighborhood friends, and meet a few new ones.
A sea of eggs for roughly 12 kiddos between 2-3 yrs old.
Mommies made treats
I made the strawberries dipped in orange colored white chocolate. 
They are supposed to be carrots!

Table of goodies.
Miss priss
Time for the hunt!


some of the kiddos enjoying their treats.
I told Casey, "Quick, grab the camera! I have both babies and neither are crying!!" haha

We also met with our favorite photog and had her snap a few shots of the babes.

We originally planned this session so AC could have her picture made with baby chicks. Turns out she is deathly afraid of small animals, chickens, goats, baby bunnies, even freaked over a frog recently. Who knows with her. haha.
C could have cared less. 


Be back later with basket ideas and an easter tablescape.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the clothes. 
I am so thankful all these sweet ladies took time out of their busy schedules to hang out and get to know each other better. 

Thanks again ladies!

Princess Party Flop

Okay, so to be completely honest I have been so upset about lil bit getting the stomach bug on her birthday and having to cancel the party that I didn't take any pictures that day.

We waited for another day when she was feeling much better and we opened a few of the presents for the friends I told "don't come, she is doing some serious puking."

Anyway here are a few pics of the "documented "makeup" party"
And again, nothing like I had planned, but who cares.. she was so happy to be "celebrating" and that is ALL that matters!!

Project Princess Fluff

We are embarking on the two week countdown so I will be sharing several more inspiration pics/ plan of action for lil bit's 3rd birthday. 

I have said it at almost every age, and minus the "why" stage this is absolutely by far my favorite.

She has developed quite a personality and I am so thankful to be able to hear every sweet thing she says!

Now, onto party. 
Here are a few pictures of what we are thinking
look how fun this cotton candy is??
I really liked this girl's party if you cant tell.

We have rented one of these:

If I have time I plan on ruffling our crepe paper we found.


We plan on reading one of her favorite stories at the party in a party tent like this one:


And my mom just happens to have a crown like this so this will be the table's centerpiece.

And if I have enough time we are going to borrow a friends tent and do something like this for the food.


Did I mention I now feel obligated to write pinterest a note?? It would go a little something like this,

Dear Pinterest,
You have sucked up my days and filled my head with dilussional thoughts I can create anything I desire.
You have made me believe these fairytale photos are oh so achievable.
Now lets just see if I can accomplish even 1/4 of this stuff for my little princess's 3rd birthday.
If so, my obsession may grow even stronger which scares me.
However, thank you for changing my life and enabling me to show my friends what I hope to recreate.
Love JBR

Lilly Pulitzer Birthday Party

When I think Lilly I think of the way it was when the line originally debuted.
.
Sophisticated
.
Bright Colors
.
And Oh so Palm Beach
.
This picture so perfectly represents what inspired me to have a Lilly Pulitzer party for my sweet baby girl.

On November 12th my little girl turned 2 yrs old.

I can not believe how fast time flies!!

{tad bit of background information, I have ALWAYS been in love with Lilly! At a young age i started to collect anything i could get my hands on. I have napkins, the old curtains to the fitting room at my local lilly store, an apron, print adds, cups, you name it and I probably have it! I even did a marketing project in highschool around a Lilly franchise store and used the Lilly line as inspiration for one of my clothing collections in college... I am a dork. i know..}

So without further adeau.....
.
The Party!!!

Did you know the original four colors in Lilly's collection were pink, orange, yellow, and green??
.
And it all started around a lemonade stand??
.
Here is the link to the Lilly site explaining how the company came to be.
.
I think you will really like the story!!

Recently, Barnum Animal Crackers partnered with Lilly designers to create a limited edition box for the crackers.
.
Nothing says 2 yr. old party like animal crackers!

All the "party accessories" you see were designed by me.
.
Inspiration was gathered from all over and I used Lilly as my launching point to create  continuity.




The Camera I am using is having some lighting issues, sorry for the brightness.
Here is the tag for the party favor.

And a sweet friend of mine designed all the cookies to look like a vintage Lilly dress.
.
She did an AHMAZING job!!!!!

We used some postcards of vintage images from a Lilly ad to decorate as a banner.


And what party is complete without a lemonade stand??
.
My daughter had a blast with this and it was sooooo easy to make.
.
She has requested it permenantly stays in her playroom!!


And here she is.
.
To follow within the theme of the party lil' bit is wearing a vintage lilly dress herself.
{dress adored with lemons and limes}

opening one of her favorite gifts.
.
This family LOVES blabla dolls!!

Making an elephant noise!!
{so cute}

And after the party the lemonade stand made it's way into lil' bit's room for some real playtime!!

un.. oh...made a small spill!!
.
I had such a blast getting everyting for this party together.
.
The original plan was to have everything outside.
.
Subsequently the weather dropped to low 50's and was cold and rainy.
.
Not ideal for a outdoor party.
.
So 4 hours before the party we improvised and made it work inside.
.
guess i will have to save all the other items we made for a future party.


Items used:
found out about the straws from my friend Kellie @ thisblessednest.
.
you can purchase the straws HERE. CKane59
.
tablecloth purchased a long long time ago from our local Lilly store.
.
all other accessories purchased at local party supply stores
.
And yes.... we did break the theme of the party slightly...
.
we served barbque...
.
but hey, we live in memphis so its only fitting to feed this to out-of-town guests!
