Ahoy! Part II

Remember these invites I said I loved? Well, you can find the rest of the super-swell party here and here.

Weekend Warriors

On this weekend's agenda was a pool party in honor of our friend, Annie's fifth birthday, a trip to the local fair and a birthday dinner for Poppy. The sun was hot {finally}, the water was cool and the fun was, well, non-stop. Our no-nap Saturday began with a walk to our favorite bagel shop and a stop by our local farmer's market before spending the majority of the afternoon at the pool party. The day ended with the three of us passed out together in our bed by 7:30pm {a special treat since G was out of town at my brother's bachelor party weekend}. Poppy's birthday celebration on Sunday followed our morning of carnival rides, a visit to the petting zoo, and hot dogs and lemonade at the fair. The evening party was pool-side and Grammy made sure the celebration was sweet with our favorite cupcakes from Lakeside Farms.

The pattern for Annie's handmade doll came from here.

Bubbles!

We love bubbles at our house. But, we can never seem to keep them from spilling. Have you noticed how expensive good bubbles are these days?! Martha to the rescue with a recipe and instructions for DIY bubbles. Image from here.

Ahoy, again...

Seriously cute knitted toy patterns found at Twins {cheap, too!}. I think I may try the aliens...

A Peony for Your Thoughts?

I've got weddings {and all the festivites surrounding them} on the brain. Peonies are one of my two all-time favorite flowers. This centerpiece project from Once Wed is super simple and picture perfect. Go here to learn how to DIY.
