Jungle Birth Day Party

while writing about tinku's ( not the real name) first birthday theme i came to realize that i didn't post on M's 4th party that was on "JUNGLE " theme. will sure do that soon.

First Birth Day Theme

This is the first time in 4 years that I can be so sure about my kids birth day theme and although there are almost 5 months till the big day tinku's first Birthday theme is ........ THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR!!!

Based on our favorite story by Eric Carl

The theme suite us best because that is what our lil tinku is , a perfect "caterpillar" who has to EAT EVERY THING. I have seen a lot of moms complaining about their babies not eating/trying new things.... while our lil munchkin has to munch anything and everything that comes her way.....hahahah ya she is teething which might be one of the reasons or may be she is in a phase to explore everything through her mouth. But what every it is the fact remains the same :)

Now, what to do with the theme? There is NOTHING on the market in terms of invites, party decorations, cake toppers, gift tags u name it and its NOT there (the only things available are either on barbie princesses or hanna montana :p ) . Though there are a lot of nice ideas on the web, here are a three of my favorites....

1. Gluten free mom

2. Heide

3. Pink pistachio

And as cool as they are I want to try something different, something new, something of my OWN !!!

hmmmmmmmmm lets start thinking ;)

Father's Day Interview

I thought it would be a good idea to interview M as part our father's day activities but was not sure about her response .It was like pulling teeth when I tried this with her last time she was simply NOT interested .But time it was fun and she really enjoyed, actually asking for more questions. I am planning to do that every year I think it will be fun to see how her answers change as she grows.
I am also planning to do an interview about me too, so If you can think of anymore questions, I'd love to ask her more.
