The moment has arrived.. AMELIA BIRTHDAY! I made a video just to show how it went down. Amelia birthday theme was Disney Sophia the First. I felt it was the perfect theme because not only dose Amelia loves Sophia the First, she also loves PURPLE! So Amelia had a purple princess party, the decorations were white purple and pink but mostly purple. It was a lot of work planning the party and i try to stay on my budget so i don't spend too much. 

 I got Amelia the Sophia the First book at Barnes and Noble as my gift for her and to use to decorate her cake table.

The Crown and Tiara help a lot, i use some of them for her classmates and the rest to decorate the table. I created a gift table section with a "THANK YOU" banner so that the guest can leave the gifts,  i thought it was a good idea and very creative.

          

I"m glad everything looked nice even though i wasn't done on time. When party planning or any kind of planing, i learned if the event has include details you have to give yourself time to get everything done on time. All decorations i got from the 99 cents discount store and esty.com  and the cake/cupcakes with the cake topper was created by ME!

I was very please with my outcome because all that matter was Amelia was happy. I have to give credit to my aunts who help me decorate, there's no better help than your own family. 

So what do you think of my decorations and theme idea??  

Until the next blog.... 

Spring/Summer trips 2012

Hey everyone!

Spring is almost here!! I love spring for the nice breezy weather and beautiful sunny days! Last spring was wonderful I spent it with my two daughters, they didn't go to public school at that time so it was a wonderful and HELPFUL idea to create an activity guide for children. Since I am a stay at home mom, I really did not want to keep them indoors a lot besides it was a fabulous time of the year. Like mention I create a list of places and things to do for my girls but it was not an essay task I had to do a lot of research for places and such around my area. This videos are some of the things we did for spring/summer. Now that my oldest daughter go to public school i will come up with new places and things to do cause the older they get the easier your list would be. 

This first video we went to the library cause they had "Mad Science" to celebrate Summer Reading Program 2012 from the NY Public Library.

Me and the girls had a lot of fun and at the end of the show the librarians gave out goodie bags and a certificate, we might do it again this year.

This next video we went to the Hall of Science with my older sister and her kids. This was another exciting trip for the kids. The Hall of Science that we went to was in Queens, New York, we learn a lot in the Hall of Science and we had fun too! What helps a lot when planning these trips was not only did we go by car however me and my we would bring our own lunch that way if the kids wanted a souvenirs there would be enough money to use.

So this spring and summer i have many plans and trip for the girls but the most important part is not only planing and budgeting but also saving. if you want to plan a trip anywhere you got to save, save for any transportation needs, addmission tickets, souvenirs but also JUST HAVE FUN TOGETHER!
