Planning A Baby Birthday Party

My little Sprog is 6 whole months.

I can't believe quite believe that he's half a year old. He's changed so much and the time has just wooshed by!

I know everyone says it, but getting that warning as to how quickly you little one will grow makes you really love all the little things.

I love his tiny, little baby feet

I love that he blows raspberries at me

and I secretly love that sometimes he cries at people he doesn't recognise but calms down when I hug him
(smug grin!)

:)

So, in the spirit of cherishing every single iddy biddy moment, I'm going to give my little time sponge a wonderful birthday party... that he will never remember, but I will never forget!

And with half a year zooming by so quickly, it doesn't hurt to brainstorm a few ideas.

So, birthday party, what do we need?

Decorations!

I love the idea of Finn having his own little birthday seat too, all decorated up and perfect for birthday photos.

And the birthday outfit has to be perfect!

I think his little outfit would have to be something funky that would look great in the photos, but he'd be comfy in... and will probably spill a thousand and one things on too.

Plus it'll be wintery time, so nice and snug.

Little 'Thank You' bags for all of his little friends to take home

And the best bit...

The Cake!

This cake is just amazing! I am in total awe of people who make such adorable cakes.

If I can get one (or dare I say, make one!) my little rubber duck obsessed boy will have a rubber ducky cake!

hehe

:)

Lots of goodies, and half a year to get it all sorted!

I can't wait!

Thursday's Inspiration - Pastels

I've been adoring pastels recently!

It could be because the lovely, summery weather is so intoxicating, but they are gorgeous!

(Hence my lovely new, pastel mint pumps!)

Staying round my parent's house today and doing a bit of rummaging, I've come across some fantastic, old pieces from my own childhood. 

The wonderful pastel colours that are inspiring me at the moment, present throughout these pieces.

I love how the traditional, soft colours of childhood are those same, uplifting colours of summer!

I even remember reading this book as a child at night, when it must have been summer, because I can remember my parents being out in the garden whilst I was supposed to be sleeping.

And I'm not sure why, but I remember "Who Killed Cock Robbin" as being my favourite!

A bit worrying, looking back, but I remember always reading it, and being quite chuffed with myself because it was one of the longest nursery rhymes in the book!

:)

A beautiful combination of the joys of childhood and the joys of summer!

Perfect inspiration!
