First Birthday Countdown!

We are down to the wire, with less than TWO weeks until Harper’s first birthday! I’m totally that person that jots down ideas on random pieces of notebook paper, sends myself text messages in the middle of the night & of course endlessly pins things that I will never come back to… until it is almost too late & I’m doing the oh-shit-I-haven’t-ordered-anything-yet dance. Eff. I hope all of my goodies get here in time. 
Ready to see the birthday wish list? 🙂 Harper personally asked for all of these items (not), since she got SO many toys for Christmas, we are taking a bit of a different route for her first birthday. A few things that will have her name embroidered on them to commemorate the occasion, some stylin’ wardrobe accessories for the spring & some other fun goodies.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven.

I also love this birthday cake toy food set, but not sure if it is age appropriate with all the smaller pieces. But seriously, how cute? Gift ideas are so hard for one year olds, especially with birthdays so close to Christmas! If your little ones are also approaching the big O-N-E, you can find some ideas in this post that Harper currently loves (minus the walkness monster)!

I just finished her invitations, I am super excited to have been able to incorporate not only pink ombre & gold glitter, but also chalkboard! I can’t wait for the party & to share all of the pictures and details that we have planned!

In other Harpie Doodle news, she & her hair are both growing like weeds. Her new favorite things to eat are TownHouse crackers, raspberries, shredded chicken & homemade fruit smoothies. I’m trying to milk all of her 6-12 month outfits for one last run before she grows out of them. And her new favorite activity is pulling the chair pillows onto the ground & climbing over them… for hours. Literally, the best entertainment ever.
Onesie, Pillows

And of course, thank you all so much for the sweet comments about Harper’s killer dance moves. I’ve passed along all of the compliments which have encouraged her to continue perfecting her skills. I know, I’m in trouble! 🙂

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to make you a reel but the thought of climbing up there to take this all down again was just too daunting. So you get a static post of the ultimate #shelfie 🤍 Swipe for before & afters, tap for sources!

Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!
