Come on Barbie, Let’s Have a Party!

I can’t believe I forgot to share photos of Clara’s 5th Birthday (back in March)! Now that we are coming up on her next birthday, I figured it was about time I share some photos on the blog! I absolutely loved planning this pink party for my sweet girl! I didn’t even connect it with the new Barbie movie (which I still haven’t seen by the way). Barbie just happened to be Clara’s favourite at the time (and still is). I’m sure if her birthday was a few months later, I would it easier to find more coordinating items.

Heres a few of my favourite captures from her special day. I stuck to my usual party basics, cute decor and yummy snacks! I kept it simple and ordered pizza for the kiddies and had a delicious selection of PINK sweets! My husband even made his speciality – caramel popcorn, except with a pink twist! It was so yummy!

Entertainment:

This was my first time having to find entertainment for kids, as Clara’’s previous birthdays were mostly family and my friends and this time we planned for more kids than usual. I ended up hiring Fantasy Bubble show (link here) Oxana was great! She did lots of tricks with bubbles and fire ; she was even able to let each kid have multiple turns coming up front of the room and getting to stand inside a bubble (pic below)! The kids absolutely loved it!

Favours:

For the favours, I try to get something related to the theme, but don’t like to buy a bunch of junk that will go to the garbage, so I try to go the route of either edible or crafty. This year, I chose magenta paper bags from Michaels and I tied on a Barbie tag I made to add all our guests’ names. In the bags, I included Barbie push pops, a Barbie chocolate egg (Hot wheels for the boys) and, some bubbles.

Hello and thanks for visiting! My name is Lauren and I’m the face behind the blog! My husband, Eric and I live in Ontario, Canada with our two children. I enjoy sharing what I love through pretty pictures with a bright and airy aesthetic. I am passionate about making homes beautiful. Whether it’s a full-scale renovation, styling for the season, or decorating for a party, I am going to give it my all and document it in a picture! I’m an office administrator by profession, but my passions are interior design and photography. It’s safe to say my interest in interior design began a long time ago. As a little girl, I loved watching HGTV with my mom and grandma, rearranging furniture and picking out colours and painting my room, many, many times. I worked part time at Rona (a hardware store in Canada) and Sherwin Williams Paints for ten years collectively where I loved to give advice and live vicariously through people designing their homes (as I was not a home owner yet). Since becoming a mom in 2018 I traded my cellphone camera for a DSLR so I could document our lives through high quality photos. As a result, I developed a new but strong passion for photography! I love photographing my kids (of course) as well as interiors. My hope is to help and inspire you whether it’s a simple parenting hack, directing you toward the prettiest décor for the season or instructing you on install DIY wainscoting on a budget.
