Weekend Project: Succulent Saturday

Today I suck (slightly) less at making succulent pots.

Here is your 10 Step Guide to making your very own succulent pots!

1. Find something around your house that would make a good succulent pot.

2. Get some awesome spray paint. I'm into hot pink right now.

3. Spray directly onto pot and "accidentally" concrete.

3 1/2. Have husband get upset for messing up the back patio.

4. Feed son a bottle of milk and put him down for a nap.

5. Get those rocks you thought would look cool at the bottom of your sink but, really just ended up being a pain in the ass every time you cleaned.

6. Add cactus soil, moss, and succulents

7. Notice how different your pot turned out compared to your husband's pot. Can you spot the Mr. and Mrs.?

8. Take a RED themed selfie.

9. Enjoy your new succulent pots.

10. Bless the state of Texas.

Copeland's "Up, Up & Away" 1st Birthday Party!

Today I suck less at planning a party.

A few months ago it hit me! My son will be turning the big O-N-E. I wanted to create a very special party for him. I settled on an "Up, Up & Away" theme. We had a great turnout and Copeland was the life of the party. Enjoy some pics from the day!

Front door and high chair banners by MemoriesBlossom on Etsy.

 Photo booth hot air balloon backdrop for all of the guests to have some fun.

 I made the balloons out of grocery bags, fluff, honeycomb and fishing line.

 My lovely friend, Yana, made this adorable banner for Copeland!

 Kiddos

 The spelt cake and cupcakes were deeeelish (see my DIY cake smash post here).

 Daddy and son in his Cake Smash attire.

 He REALLY loves blueberries.

 Found this impression idea on Etsy. It made a great guest book!

Fun facts!

 Here is the tutorial I used as a guideline to make the hot air balloons.

 Even our hedgehog, Asterisk, got in on the action!
