MY FIRST BORN ZOOEY IS 7 #ZOOEYSTUCKINTHE80S PARTY REPORT

Balloons: Anagram // Floaties: Sunnylife Australia

Gosh I know it's been quite a while since I updated this blog, but I really wanted to make my comeback when I was most motivated! 2 years ago, we threw Zooey an epic 70's themed 5th Birthday party. To see the party report for that party

After the party 2 years ago, I told myself never again, and that she can wait until her sweet 16! But in the past year and a half, Zooey worked really really hard. No matter how busy we were, she just always tried her best, so I thought, ok, she has earned a party..So then I decided, let's throw her a nice 7th Birthday party to outdo her 5th Birthday Party. 

And here we are, #ZOOEYSTUCKINTHE80S

Balloon Garland: Wild Child Party

P.S.

In case you wondered, we used Paperless Post to send e-vites to our guests. I just love the interface of Paperless Post because it looks so pretty and fancy but they also have fun card options. We were searching for a super cute 80's vibe card design and found it easily by just searching 80's birthday theme! Everything is customizable, from the envelopes to the actual card font. There are plenty of 'free' choices but it only costs a few points to add that special touch to your cards. Another feature I loved was the "messaging guests" feature because it was really easy to communicate with our guests. I was able to customize our RSVP request too which helped minimize the amount of messages we had to send to our guests. I was actually able to do a lot of things on the Paperless Post APP on my IPHONE. Out of all the email invite services that I've used, Paperless Post is by far my favorite and there aren't random annoying pop up ads lol.

TRAVEL TIP: BABY BATH ESSENTIALS

Have you ever gone on vacation and stayed in a hotel that DIDN'T have a bathtub!? It happens more often than it should and it happened again to us when we went on a staycation in LA & Palm Springs. When we travel somewhere by car, I usually pack this STOKKE FLEXIBATH.  It actually folds FLAT and can fit in your suitcase. Amazing right?

Amelie LOVES bathtime. Tubby Todd has a travel kit that includes everything you might need on your short trip. The lotion has been amazing for baby's skin and the shampoo smells SO good too.

Onesie: Cotton On Kids

Blanket: Little Giraffe

Wash cloth: Aden & Anais 

Before Amelie's bath we always give her a nice massage.
Diapers: Parasol

We are still using the newborn support but Amelie doesn't seem to mind it at all! I actually can't wait for Amelie to sit up by herself..

Anyhow, I know there are so many different bath tubs out there but I really recommend this one for the traveler!

BOOKROO - CHILDREN'S BOOKS DELIVERED TO YOUR DOORSTEP

As a parent, what's more amazing than having children's books delivered to your doorstep!? The minute I became a mother, the first thing I did was look for a list of books that I MUST read to Zooey.  But, after the years went by and life got busier, I found myself just taking Zooey to Barnes & Noble once in a while and let her pick out books that she was interested in. I also found myself buying random books from garage sales and flea markets. However, recently, I was introduced to BOOKROO, a Children's Book delivery service that sends your kids books every month. We received our first set of books over the weekend and Zooey couldn't wait to unwrap the package! If you're reading this it's your lucky day! I have a $4 off discount coupon code for you to try this service! Click here for the discount link: http://bit.ly/1Ru9MmU

She's soooo serious about this book!!!
