Happy Birthday Princess Valerie!

I know I say this all the time but I can’t believe how fast time passes by. Today 3 years ago my little girl made me a mom. Being a mom was and still is one of greatest desires/joys of my heart. I would be lying if I said every minute has been blissful. But those trying times make the precious memories even sweeter, and I wouldn’t change one moment.

For Valerie’s birthday we had a “Princess” party last Saturday. It was so much fun to plan, decorate, and host, and the kids had a blast. Every little girl we invited came dressed like a princess. I lined both sides of our walk way with silver painted dowels and strung pink streamers from dowel to dowel. The front porch was lined in pink streamers and pink balloons, and we had our bubble maker on blowing bubbles as the girls came to the door. Once they got inside we had princess music playing and they got to choose a princess picture to color and a princess necklace, while we waited for everyone to arrive. Once everyone arrived we decorated princess crowns, played pin the crown on the princess, a princess scavenger hunt, and had a beauty salon were we painted our nails, got to put on glitter lip gloss, and perfume. It was lots of fun and Valerie is still talking about it!!!!
