I had a baby --- and then she turned seven.
That’s about sums it up - just yesterday she was
snuggling in my arms and now today she’s riding bikes without training wheels
and tying her own shoes. What
happened? What's a mom to do?
Answer: Throw a party.
That just may be my answer for about everything,
but who can blame me? Friends and cupcakes – perhaps a sugary social
retreat? It soothes the soul.
So after watching Bella and Sophie make copious
amounts of super hero masks this past year – it hit me. We needed a super party! Just imagine, bright girly colors of cute
fabrics styled into flapping capes as our heroes save the day. Darling.
My mom and I cut and faux serged the one-sided
capes. Then my amazing sister, Cami,
helped design all the darling printables!
POW, ZAP, BOOM (coming to an Etsy store soon!)
The girls had a blast. Decorating paper superhero masks, running
through the grass, climbing fences, laughing and talking. Who doesn’t want to be a super “girly” hero? They even saved the backyard from the evil
hijinks of a couple of supervillains with silly string (my mom and Nate).
We served up power peanut butter star shaped
sandwiches, x-ray vision carrots and berry boost strawberries, but of
course stayed away from peas because those just may be Bella’s Kryptonite. All the super nourishment helped them conquer
the star piñata – superhero training can be exhausting!
It was such great fun! Now if I could only keep her seven forever. In the meantime– enjoy all these fun
pictures! And a special treat – a VIDEO
of all the fun (make sure to scroll down to view) – put together by my amazing friend Marissa Noe. We are quite the digital team. Maybe we should combine forces in the
future. Now that would really be super!
