Super excited for the Party!

I am super excited for Jacob's Upcoming Sesame Street Party! 2 days to go!

What makes it more exciting? The headdress/party headgear for the party! I don't wanna go with the usual party hats, though I bought some (in case, for late comers), so I came up with the idea -headdress perfect for my son's party!

Since I have lots of party DIYs, I cannot attend to this (and I am managing a business,too!) I decided to ask help from a party headgear maker - I gave her the design and poof! Super love it! Since it's my own design, I asked her not to give to anyone unless after September. 

Here are the photos!

 

Aren't so cute?! Super love it!

Excited for the Party!

Whew! I can't believe that Jacob's party is less than 3 weeks from now. I am just wishing for 3 three things:

• No rains,floods,typhoons or any calamities/ uncontrolled situations/incidents on Sept 11 and Sept 12
• Our invited guests would come and ON Time
• The Suppliers will me and/or exceed my expectation
  

I love my Candy Station DIYs!

I just love doing arts and crafts for Jacob's Party!

And now, the big day is near, I'm almost done with my Party DIYs!

Candy Station

-I always wanted sweets for the party, so, aside from the Dessert Station from My Chocolate Heaven, i decided to come up with my version of Candy Station!!

Since, it's a Kid's Party, I just bought 2 glass candy containers and will use more of colorful pail/bucket I bought from Toys R Us for a peso power of P10.00 (US$ 0.22)

Since, I love pulvorons and macaroons, and I just want to present it the way it should be without buying porcelain layers or cake layers.. 

I'm a Supermom/DIY Queen-wanna-be!, I come up with these ideas? Whatcha think?

I'm super loving it!

Can't Choose - HELP!

Jacob's birthday is fast approaching and I am just as excited as everyone else around him. The clock is ticking.. the day is running .. next thing we know, it's Party Time!

But I still need to fix things for the party - I need your help!

Food cart - food cart and food cart.. Can't choose what to pick!

I already have food station for sweet-toothed guests:

• My chocolate heaven Dessert Station - I availed their Platinum Package! and added Gourmet Donuts as well.. I'm just so thrilled for this..
• Party DIY - Candy station named after the famous store in the Sesame Street: "MR HOOPER'S Candy Store!" I already bought jars and buckets for the candies and chocolates for the kids and kids-at-heart. Even the candy lootbag is a DIY - Soo OC mommy!

 But, how about the diabetic guests? (peace) :)

I'm torn between these, please help me pick.. Thank You!

A Super Rush Shopping Day!

Since, I'm out of duty for the whole week, we decided to stay in Manila for some relaxation and to visit ILs (Guilty! - I know they do miss Jacob alot..) 

But even if I'm outta work, I am still working - managing, answering queries from clients of my home-based business, handicrafts.atbp. I just love doing this - even if this means less sleep and more time online..

Since, I need a break and Jacob's birthday bash is due in less than 5 months, I should keep in mind, again, his party! So, I asked my husband to drive me around Landamark/SM Makati for shopping time - to relax, to shop and to find stuffs for the party.

As to what happened the last time we took Jacob to mall, we decided he should stay with MIL at home -- We left him all smiles -- 

We first scouted for mason jars - I am preparing and insisting I should be the one doing this - I'm so hands on! I found this tall jars for P120 each - not bad, it's all glass..  These are just two of the candy containers to be used for "Mr. Hooper's Candy Station" for Jacob Sesame Party on Sept. 

 On our way to SM, I saw this lovely blouse at Landmark and fitted it - I just love that I lost my pregnancy weight. and that I could wear again clothes like that - It fitted me well- as if it's destined to be "MINE". Moreover, I just love my husband, he paid for it!! Love yah alot dadi! :)

While we were, taking our snack (haven't done shopping!), MIL called up, telling us Jacob's crying - screaming.. that made us rush to the parking lot to go home.. It hurts to know and guilty, as always, we left him. :( 

Arriving in less than 30 minutes, saw him lying on the bed - sleeping.. I just hugged and kissed him -- I'm so sorry,baby.. I love you..

I'm so in love with Shooshoos!!

I'm super in love with Shooshoos! 

The first time I saw them..I know it's perfect for my son.. It's the first ever shoe I bought for him (since most are gifts from friends and relatives).. and I couldn't settle for less.

I hunted and hunted for Pediped shoes and Shooshoos and find out that they will be one of the exhibitors in the upcoming bazaar of Expo Mom last May - I convinced my husband that we really need to go to Expo Mom.. because of Shooshoos!

And there, I met Ms. Kim, whose as lovely as her face. (I always texted him Ms. Kristine - who the he** is Kristine?!haha) Very accomodating - and right then and there, I know it won't be the last time I'll purchase shooshoos. 

I'm so in love with it! Why?

• the shoes look so comfty for baby's tiny feet
• made of nappa leather
• perfect as walking shoes
• very stylish and no tie ribbon/shoe lace that would cause any accident to the baby

Here's the 1st Shooshoos I bought for Jacob:

Isn't it lovely?! 

And from the time I handed this to my son, he walked with it-- and I could see in his eyes how much he adores his new shoes - well, like mother like son hehe..

I'm such a stage mom, I sent photo to them and I just love them, really! They posted it on their site, even on their blog, welcoming Jacob as one of the shooshoos babies!

9 months old pictorial

Since, I'm just a first time mom, I never thought he would outgrew this in 2 months time! Waahhh..

That's why I decided to get Jacob his 2nd and 3rd pair of shooshoos. This time, I just texted Ms. Kim for my orders, and the following day, my husband DPied thru their bank account.

And here are Jacob's new pairs shooshoos.

So adorable!!Thank you Ms. Kim! And 'til next time! :)

P.S And they're on sale too!!

Jacob and his Expedition: A Love-Hate Thing

 Today, is our family date! And since, it's my birthday week, Jojo and I decided to take Jacob out for some malling and shopping. It was his first time at SM Makati!

As a mom, I'm looking forward to this-- family time and shopping spree! At around 2pm, i set and dressed him up -- so cutie! Such a head-turner (I'm so proud of him!).. I made him wear his CK printed shorts and t-shirt (from US by Ate San) and his shooshoos I recently bought at the Expo Mom 3. I brought with me his shades and a cap (for protection).

On our way to Makati, he fell asleep.. May be he was thinking it's a long trip (just like what we always do going back and forth Laguna) and took a nap. Parked at Park Square and Jojo assembled Jacob's Expedition. We need to do this every time we bring his ride (it won't fit in the car's trunk!). I let him sleep quietly in his Expedition.. 

"Such a Head Turner!"
