Shark Birthday Party Invite

Little A turned four this week! I cannot believe that my little baby is growing up so fast! Can we just tell our little ones to stay little forever? Well, I have told him, and asked if he could stay little forever, and he says yes every time! Could little ones get any cuter? Anyways, before I go on a rant about how I'm going to miss him being my little bitty baby, how about we get back to the topic!

This weekend, we are celebrating his birthday with a shark themed birthday party. We gave Little A a choice, did he want dinosaurs or sharks, and he chose sharks. He loves learning about both, but lately, sharks have seemed more interesting to him. I have planned a few games for the kids that I think they'll love, but in order for them to play these games, they need to be invited first! I sent out the invitations a while ago, but am just now getting to posting what they look like! Silly me.

It was a little hard to find shark themed anything around here. I even called a few party stores with no avail. So, I decided to make his invitations myself. I like creating graphics anyways!

Of course, his name was not deleted, and our address was under JOIN US FOR A BITE. Our number was next to the RSVP as well, but, for privacy reasons, of course I deleted all of that. Anyways, I wanted to go with a more subtle, contemporary look, so I decided to have the shark "swim" through the large 4. What is not shown on these invites is the little waves that I drew between the date and "It's a shark-tastic birthday." I used watercolors for that, and I think it makes the invites just that much cuter.

I am making this printable available for purchase in my Etsy shop soon, so keep an eye out for it!

Do you think a shark theme is adorable?

IKEA Hack/LATT Table and Chairs Turned Storage Table

UPDATE: Make sure you put some sort of soft close adapter or hinge that would allow for the table top to not fall too fast or fall at all! Little A had a mishap with the table top falling down and hit underneath his eye. My poor little fellow. So, please learn from my mistake! When Little A was about a year old, we purchased him an IKEA LATT table so that he would have his own table to read, draw and pretty much learn on. That thing has been through so many stages of his life. He has eaten on it, subsequently doused in water painted on, colored on and just plain had fun on. Recently, it started to become very, for lack of a better word, sad . The particle board top was bubbling up and would not get clean, the legs, sides and chairs had paint and color marks, and the whole table had seen better days. Big A wa...

Closet to Reading Nook Transformation

My dear ol' mother has a home studio for her photography business. It is pretty impressive how she created a business space from two separate rooms. In her waiting room, she wanted to add a space just for children without taking up too much room. She had a cluttered closet that was overflowing with things that had no place in the house. My mother came up with the idea of a reading nook after completely cleaning out the closet. Once it was bare, she was able to see the potential. Before the conversion of the closet, the only distraction she had for the children of her clients was a small basket filled with toys hidden underneath a chair. Needless to say, there was not much for children in the room. Unfortunately, we don't have any cluttered before pictures of the closet to show you, so you'll just have to take my word for it! It was M-E-S-S-Y! It was almost unusable as a closet, more like a hoarder's paradise! There were shelves attached to the walls that she removed...

KALLAX Hack/Painting IKEA furniture

* This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive compensation at no added cost to you. Oh boy! It's been over a year since the last time that I updated here. A lot has happened throughout that year. We recently moved into a townhome style community and my husband and I both started new jobs. We aren't the only ones changing it seems though. IKEA seems to be spitting out new products, and almost identicals of older products. A few months ago, Big A, Little A and I visited our closest IKEA in search of the EXPEDIT. When we walked into the self-serve area, were we surprised to see not only the EXPEDIT but an almost identical unit. This new unit, the KALLAX, was slightly cheaper, but seemed to be the long lost twin of the EXPEDIT. Seeing as it was cheaper, we went ahead and purchased the KALLAX. Let me just say, it is definitely worth the buy! You see, since moving, we got rid of our TV stand that was unfortuna...

Loving Heart. Happy Home.
