We celebrated our princess' 4th birthday on Saturday and it was a dream come true! Tiny Prints helped us with adorable invitations that I incorporated into the party theme. They also sent over matching thank you cards and favor stickers. I'm a sucker for details and they always make our parties etc. extra special.

Thank you cards c/o Tiny Prints

Guests took home light up wands as a thank you for coming. Stickers c/o Tiny Prints.

I tried to tone down the tackiness that can be "Disney Princess" by DIYing my own decor. I stuck with girly colors and incorporated some rose gold. Insert heart eyes here.

Guests received crowns and took home wands that they crafted.

Princess cookies made by M and me!

 We invited Rapunzel to join us and lucky for us her calendar was wide open. ;) Blair asked me what the kids would do at Disneyland who wanted to see her. I told her that they wouldn't be able to while she was at our house. Ha ha, she's so cute. Rapunzel was a huge hit...she read them a book, sang, made wands with them, had a coronation ceremony, taught them to curtsy, and did their make-up! I was seriously impressed.

Telling her how old she is...except that she's 4, haha.

We had a bounce house for the boys our less interested guests (thank goodness it didn't rain!) which is always a hit. Add in some pizza and desserts and I think everyone lived happily ever after.

Happy 4th birthday, Blair! We hope your day was magical!

Did you hear?! The verdict is in and we are having twin BOYS! We are beyond thrilled and excited to experience parenting little boys. We were SO surprised when we found out because it was the least likely option in our minds. Don't let this be mistaken for disappointment... we couldn't be happier!

Blair remains to be the only princess (besides me) ;) and will be such a helpful big sister. There are so many wonderful things about having twin boys. Blair won't have to compete with them, they will have built in playmates (each other and their twin boy cousins!), and I get to design a boy nursery! Woo hoo!

We used confetti poppers from Thimblepress to announce our big news. The sent us some extra goodies that are just adorable.

I missed my stick the first try. Now you know one of the reasons I never played volleyball.

Eeek! We are so excited! God has chosen these sweet boys to be the perfect addition to our family. We feel blessed!

We had a big surprise yesterday...my nephews were born at 32 weeks! Thankfully both they and their mama are doing well. The boys weighed in at 3 pounds 7 ounces and 3 pounds 10 ounces and 17 inches long. They are in the NICU for an estimated 3-4 weeks and I will get to see them today.

And speaking of newborns I just can't wait to wrap my sweet twins up in these Swaddle Designs muslin blankets. With my expected due date set at September 4th (and likely much earlier) it is going to be blazing hot here in southern California. Breathable muslin blankets will be perfect!

Swaddle Designs kindly sent me two adorable black and white patterned blankets which will be darling for girls or boys! I love these blankets because they get softer with every wash and are so versatile! They can be used as sunshields, playmats, nursing covers, and more. Plus, they come with fool proof 1, 2, 3 swaddle directions sewed into the blanket so grandmas, uncles, and new daddies can figure it out! ;)

Swaddles Designs would love for one of you to try out their muslin blankets too! (US and Canada only).

So there's this shirt that I'm pretty much obsessed with. You can't beat the price or the fit! In fact I love it so much I wore it about 4 times in one week and when I put it on for just one more day M had to pry it out of my little hands. He told me I could not wear that shirt one more time and insisted that I go and get more in other colors. I don't think he has EVER told me that in our nine years of marriage.

I wish I could link to this lovely gem of a tee shirt but I couldn't find it on Target's website. But I went this week and there were plenty of them so I bet they are at your local target too! Mossimo is the brand. Anyway here's a couple of ways to style it!

I'll be living in this all summer!

Love that it covers the bum!

I love bright pops of color for spring!

You would die if you saw how busted open my pants are underneath.

Brown boots would have been cuter but they require too much effort to take off so just imagine.

What I love about this shirt is that it's not a maternity top but it should last me my whole pregnancy. The bonus is that I can still wear it afterwards and it should be forgiving. Hey it's so flowy I could probably nurse under it too! ;) Go get one (or three!). This one is a size Medium.

Over the weekend I had the joy of helping my Mom host a shower for my sister-in-law. My brother's girlfriend helped us too and it went really smoothly! My Mom decided on a lumberjack theme since that's what the nursery design is based on. Luckily I already had a lot of rustic decor and my Mom snagged a table cloth along with a cute banner.

The Mama to be!

It was definitely fun seeing all the gifts that my sis-in-law got since she is having twins too! I can't wait to borrow all her stuff. ;) Happy Monday!
