Ava's 2nd Birthday Party

Last weekend we celebrated Ava's 2nd birthday. It was a great time! Ava loves the Nick Jr. show Yo Gabba Gabba so that is the theme we went with. She loved it and we were so thrilled. We decided to rent a bounce house and it was the best decision! Otherwise how else do you entertain a bunch of kids at a house party?

Here are some highlights:



She was afraid of the bounce house at first but it didn't take long for her to love it!



What I asked my mom to make...



Her version! Hahahaha!



We had a great time with our friends and family and Ava scored some great presents! We even had an appearance from DJ Lance Rock (my brother-in-law)!






She was shy when everyone was singing happy birthday to her but she liked blowing out her candle!

Overall, the party was a success!

Dress Be Mine

Gasp! I want this dress so badly and I can't find it anywhere! It's sold out on every website I try to order it from 👎It would have been such a cute dress to wear for Amy's bachelorette night out! Look how cute it is!




I love all the different ways people have worn this:




With colored tights




With leggings and a leather jacket




With a cute skinny belt




As a blouse
If this every becomes available I will own it!

Crazy for Chevron

I have been seeing this zigzagtastic trend that is chevron in everything lately and I have to admit, I'm totally on board and in love.

This funky print makes such a statement in home decor, clothes, food, you name it.

I am thinking about incorporating it either in my laundry room or master bathroom makeover project.

I think I'll start with this rug from Urban Outfitters. I always gravitate towards this color. Hmm, with splashes of red or mint green or perhaps yellow and gray? The possibilities....




I've also been eyeing these baskets from Target. They come in several colors and I could really use new storage options for my laundry room.



I'm still narrowing things down but I am definitely loving this trend :)
