Featured Shop - ciaobambino

I am happy to be able to highlight another beautiful shop this week, ciaobambino.

After years of planning parties for her own six children and trying to find party decorations to fit their personalities, Ciao Bambino tried her hand at creating fun custom decorations with much success!

At Ciao Bambino you'll find whimsical decor that will make your child feel like the star they are on their special day. Custom orders are also welcome in addition to what you see in the shop.

There are cute cake toppers, banners, party hats, wedding shower tags and more to be found with postage available worldwide.

I will be stopping by for my son's 3rd birthday in October and I think it will have to be the pirates that win this year, I can't resist them.

enjoy!

Looking for toys for my boy

Well I have started my b-day shopping already for my big boy. He will be five at the end of August and the days seem to be flying by already, so I thought I would start my shopping now. I have gotten a few things already but I found a few I want to get but need to make a little more money before I can finish my shopping.

So when I get my money I will have to hunt you all down, lol.

Like I sooo want to get this for him. It is great for us, because we are homeschooling and it would be totally beneficial for him.

Etsy Kids Party!

Everyone loves a party so I thought I would put together some elements from an etsy kids party!

You need some food.... guests don't like to go home hungry!

Theses scrumptious delights are from Suite 106 Cupcakery - all of their cupcakes are beautifully hand crafted, made with all natural and organic ingredients. They have over 30 tantalizing cupcake flavors to satisfy any sweet tooth craving.

Next you need some party favours...my favourite comes from modern art stamps.

At modernartstamps you will find here unique art stamps that are all handmade, 100% original and are artisan made; they design the graphics and then are made in polymer rubber and glued to hand cut wood blocks.

Of course you need a special outfit for the guest of honour!

A tutu is always a hit, from the lovely I luv u tutu much where you can find quality custom made tutus. There are an abundance of Petal Filled Tutus, Ribbon Tutu Skirts,Beautiful Dresses,All Knotted up Skirts,Short and Sweet Tutus, Long and Luscious Tutu's, Custom Ordered Tutu's you way. Tutus can be made in several sizes ranging from Infant, Toddler, Teen and adult girls.

or say it loud and proud with a mama monkey shirt

Available in boy or girl colourways!

Mama Monkey's shop is filled with fun, functional onesies and t-shirts for monkeys and their mamas! All items are designed and hand-printed in the home studio, using only quality materials.

You need decorations to get everyone in a festive mood...

There is no better way to decorate - string up a re-usable banner from the polka dot tot spot, here you will find a great range to suit any colour theme! There are also great specials that are worth dropping by for.

But really when you get all the food, clothing, decorations and party favourites together there is really only one thing that the kids look forward to and that is the presents!

My favourite pick for a present is from elcu - handmade children's backpacks from the highest quality materials and carefully crafted to last. Contact them about custom orders and private parties.

enjoy!

And Then...we're ready for fun!

My middle son, Luke, is turning 4 in about a week. I am organizing a birthday party for him, and inviting his class. This will be his first *real* birthday party, so I want to make sure he has a lot of fun!

I asked my friend Darcy from And Then... to create something special for his party. If you've never seen Darcy's shop, then you NEED to check it out! She creates awesome craft kits for kids, and the best part is that everything, and I mean everything is included.

Darcy created this awesome caterpillar kit for Luke's party, and I just got it today.

You have got to see it!

First, we have a plastic shoe box sized container, personalised just for Luke:
Inside that container we found this super cute birthday card, just for Luke! He was thrilled to find this!

Here are each of the craft kits, individually packaged. All I have to do is give each child one of the plastic bags:

Each bag is ALSO personalised. Luke just LOVES seeing his name on all of the little bags!

Darcy even provided the paint, sponge brushes and little dixi cups for the paint. She thought of everything:

This is seriously cute, and seriously easy! I'm almost excited to have 12 three and four year olds painting in my back yard. Almost. :0)

If you have kids, or know someone who has kids, you NEED to check out Darcy's shop! You need to! She makes QUALITY time with your kids soooo much easier.

We can't wait to play!!

Thanks, Darcy!
