Leena is Three!

My little girl is three. Where did the last three years go?! She is such a firecracker and I love the little girl she is growing up to be. She definitely has her own ideas but a tender heart at the same time. Yesterday at a birthday party for her friend there was a little girl at the top of the big inflatable slide that didn't want to go down, just wanted to sit up there, so Leena climbed up just to sit with her so she wasn't alone. That made me smile when Joey told me that. For her birthday party I had this grand idea of an Indian, or for political correctness sake, Native American, party. Joey made a tipi but then my sewing machine went on the fritz and I couldn't sew a proper cover for the frame. (Which by the way affected me making Leena's blanket! I have it all laid out for what I have so far but with no working machine to sew it it's waiting for now. It will get done! I promise!) So he rigged it up and it still looks pretty neat for now. I made some bunting for the patio and Joey put up the chalkboard wall around the bottom of our screened in portion. Pregnancy took over and I just got too tired to go all out like I planned for the party but Leena didn't care either way. She had friends over and that was enough for her! Oh and cake of course. We made headdresses for the kids that wanted one but never got around to the dream catchers. Those were a bit too time consuming for the party.

Joey also made AMAZING wraps with hummus and homemade guac among other things. And I ate A LOT let my tell you. Baby junebug is huuuuuungry. ;) Our menu was wraps, pasta salad, lil cutie oranges, deviled eggs, squirrel mix (my own creation that Leena named) and pirates booty.
Now time for pictures!

Making headdresses.


Leena started bowing to everyone once she had her headdress on.
Kyllian is adorable.
Baby. :)
Have I mentioned before I love his hair?
I didn't decide till the night before what kind of cake I was going to make. I got this idea from a lady at the farmer's market. Little raw cupcakes made out of cacao and nuts. SO GOOD.
Time to sing!
How does a kid get chocolate ALL over their face with one itty bitty bite-2 bite cupcake?
He's such a silly kid.
Present time!
Her little Indian girl doll. I got it here.
Her little peg people doll house. I got it here.
Relaxing after the party. Watching her new movie, Snow White and playing with her doll house.

We all had a good day. :)

Peace and Love.

Happy UnBirthday!

Happy Birthday little blog! You are a year old!

Don't let looks fool you. It may look pretty but it tasted like poo. Or at least what I think poo would taste like. Don't mix quinoa flour with sweet, delectable, chocolatey cupcake goodness. Don't do it.
Seriously.

This cupcake's saving grace the chocolate chips I shoved in the middle before sticking them in the oven. My subconscious knew they were going to be terrible.

Leena ate out all the part around the chocolate chips when I broke it open for her then left the outsides. This kid can't be fooled.
Poor kid.

Cheerio however thought it was tasty because you know, cats are the authority on good food. Little butt lickers.

At least my outfit was cute.
Dress: Little shop in my hometown. "Expression"
Necklace: Violet Bella :)
Belt: Thrifted
Jeans: Kohl's...I think
Boots: The commissary in El Paso.

Other than that we ran errands, played outside, made two necklaces for the shop, watched Leena run around like she was going to self destruct at any moment, you know, the "I'msotiredI'mgoofyandlaughingateverything" kind of self destruct, and made sushi for dinner. It was rather yummy. But now, it's time for bed. It was a good day.

Thank you all again and don't forget to enter the giveaway!

Peace and Love
