Happy 4th Birthday Violet! A Shirley Temple Tea Party

     My little bird turned 4 yesterday. She woke up to a room full of balloons from the birthday fairy and was so excited to be turning four. It was a beautiful day at home. We decided on a Shirley Temple themed party because Violet adores Shirley Temple. She loves to sing and dance and some even say she looks like that famous little child star with her cute little cheeks and those ringlets. It was a sweet little homemade party. We played outdoors for a bit with Violet's favorite thing (Playdough). We had a bubble station, chalk station and we also set up a photo booth. It was simple and fun! Happy Birthday Violet! I love you!

Soaking up Summer

     We are continuing to soak up the sun. The weather has been perfect. Warm and sunny all day...with a gentle breeze at night. We are starting to prepare for a special someone's 4th Birthday. Happy Tuesday!

What a fun trip!

Best describes my trip, a photo by FuNkY MoMmY on Flickr.

This photo captures the best way I can explain my trip. Aside from getting seasick on the way over, the time spent there was filled with such love and happiness. In such a short time, I did so much for me that I feel totally rested and ready to go. Dancing, uninterrupted meals, beachcombing, walking freely down the town exploring whatever I wanted, yoga on the beach and even a swim in the beautiful ocean. Thanks to Brad and MJ for having me!

It was so hot today we felt like having an indoor picnic and had pizza delivered. After Violet wanted to build a Fairy Village. She insisted on steps and a seesaw. I think it came out lovely. Happy Monday!
