Happy Birthday, Odina!!

I can't believe my baby is one... Where did the time go?? She's such a smart, spunky and funny little girl..It's been an amazing year!

We went for a winter/owls theme for her party and I was so happy with how it turned out!

Party time!

Something I've been wanting to do since our oldest, Sisika started school was to throw a Halloween party for her and her friends. This year, she's in grade 1 and I finally decided we were doing it! My Mum and I put our heads together and got to planning. Luckily, she made a trip to the States the weekend of the party and found a few really awesome additions to our trick or treat table!

These were the invitations, purchased from Etsy! Sisika picked them herself and loved that the little witch looked like her! I loved the chevron.. ;)

Easy Diy Chalkboard

When we bought our house, one of the first things I wanted to do was to make a large chalkboard for the weekly menu on one of the kitchen walls. We've owned this house for 2 1/2 years, and we recently got around to doing it!

It ended up being just about free. Can't go wrong there!

Crackle Easter Eggs

My Mum came across these beautiful eggs last year on Pinterest. We made them for Easter and fell in love! We were all excited to make them again. They're so simple to make and so beautiful!

Coconut Fudge

An incredibly rich, decadent fudge full of coconut flavor and yummy shredded coconut! It's hard to stop eating! I found this recipe in the candy section of About.com while looking for birthday party dessert ideas. It's a keeper!
