Girl Lego Themed Birthday

We celebrated our daughter's birthday few days back with this adorable Lego themed Birthday party. Lately she has been into Legos. She got that from her brother. I remember those days when he was younger and will play with legos and forget to gather all the pieces after he is done playing with them.And we will find small pieces of lego lying around when we accidentally stepped on those pieces. Those were painful...
So far my daughter has been more careful about her lego pieces and keeps them safe

Tie-Dye Cake

I made a tie-dye cake for the painting theme birthday we had few days back.  You can see more pictures from the Painting Birthday party here. I wanted a colorful cake to go with the theme. And I loved how this came out to be.

My kids helped me in mixing the colors in the batter and it was like a science project for them...:) They loved mixing the colors and also loved seeing the colors once it was cut.

Painting Birthday Party.

We had a fun paint Birthday party few days back. The kids got to paint little figurines at the party, which was also one of the favors.

I had a hodge podege of ideas till only few days before the party as to what I wanted for that day, but it came out all well at the end..:) Had fun making the paint palette cookies. The rice krispie paint brushes was a last minute addition we made on the day of the party. I love colorful parties and the theme for this party was itself colorful, so loved everything about it.

A cooking Birthday Party

Few days back I organized a cooking birthday party for little girls. These are some of the pictures from that party.

The sign I  made the previous night to hang on the front door. An half hour craft, the tutorial for which is available here. The 'Happy Birthday' banner I used on the sign is available here.

Bats as Halloween Decor

For the garage door décor, I wanted to make something different from last year.

You can visit here to see what I did last year. Though I liked it a lot, I still wanted something different.

Black Forest Cake

Halloween Stairs

Halloween is just a month away and we are getting ready!!!

We have a huge box full of creepy stuff in our garage that we will be putting up in our front yard and the front door. But for inside the house I was looking at doing something different this Halloween and found the mice template at Martha Stewart's website and fell in love.

Baseball Birthday

This Birthday is from few years back and posting about it, is long overdue. We invited one of the baseball coaches for the party and he did a wonderful job organizing the baseball lessons for the kids.

Here are some of the pictures from the party.

Minnie Mouse Pinata

I made a Minnie Mouse Pinata few days back for a Minnie Mouse themed Birthday party. It came out great and I wanted to share how I made it.

Minnie Mouse Birthday

Few days back I setup a Minnie Mouse Bow-tique Birthday. I used these cute printables and that set the party. I made the Birthday Banner, water bottle wrappers, tags for favors, cup cake liners with these.

Cake in a cup...but not a cupcake

This is not your typical cake, but its good for a quick dessert. Its not as moist as I would have expected the cake to be, but I had to try it once after I read the recipe here.

Cherry Squares.

I had cherry pie filing sitting in my pantry for quiet sometime and didn't know what new thing I could make with it. And then I saw this recipe at Chengand3Kids  few days back and loved it. Thanks Ritchil!

Happy Easter!

Remember Easter growing up. It was little different than what we celebrate here, but it is still so much fun. We have a big egg hunt at the park across the street and kids look forward to that. The first time my son went for the egg hunt, he was so happy to pick just one egg, even though there were so many all around. These days he is getting faster and better at picking eggs...:) He just runs and puts so many in his basket...

Sugar Cookies

I remember Christmas time surrounded by family and lots of food. My dad loved to eat and my mom loved making all the goodies. As we grew older my sisters and I would help my mom in the kitchen. My mom and sisters made tons of stuff. Being the youngest at home, I didn't do much of cooking then, but did a lot of eating.

Now that I have my children of my own, I have started to enjoy making all the yumm stuff. Last Christmas, I had a big spread of cookies and cakes. I will post the recepies for all the cookies I made starting with the sugar cookies. These were very simple to make and decorating them was so much fun.
