preppy first birthday

Preppy Mama had me at the bunting-inspired cake and hand-sewn details for her son's 1st birthday. You'll want to check out all of the red + blue fabulousness (look at that 'balloon wreath'!) right here.

sidenote: I apologize for my spotty appearance on the blog the past couple of weeks- I've been knee-deep in a blog redesign that I simply can't wait to share! Hopefully we will be up and running on the new site by the beginning of next week.

100 day celebration

Long ago I had read an article on the Korean tradition of celebrating the 100th day of a babies life. I loved this sweet, small celebration Minhee and Truman Cho threw for their little Tru's 100th. (More on this special tradition right here).

ahoy!

You won't want to miss this gorgeous nautical-themed birthday party for Charlie's 1st birthday! I can't get enough of that cardboard boat.
