Being a Stay-at-Home-Mom of two kids, I tend to miss out on social events... and by that, I mean I don't get out at all much.

 Not that I'm complaining, I love my children! That's why I stayed at home for them :) but I do miss having the time for myself and bonding with friends...

 So last December (yes, this is an overdue post, haha), I devised a plan! I hosted a mini Spa Party at home! Yay! That's hitting two birds with one stone, if I do say so myself *pat self on the back*.

 Ah, to relax while having your friends over for some chitchat... such fun! I told a few friends and they obliged to come over. We set the date and had a spa party in the afternoon, when the kids would be asleep...

 I prepared some snacks and a movie to watch (The Other Woman).

 I set a little snack buffet and arranged the room to have somewhat a relaxing spa ambiance.

 Here's how it looked:







And here they are having mani-pedis while watching the movie...

And here are my happy girl friends (plus my little ones) :)

This is a late post, I almost forgot to share about it. But better late than never! :)

 Last October, we we're invited to the sweetest and most adorable baby shower! Why? Because it was prepared by the couple's closest family and friends. Everything from the decorations to the food were all planned and made by them.

 Mommy JJ and Daddy Jonas we're then expecting a baby boy (Mommy gave birth to their healthy baby last December 1, yay!). 

 Check out their very creative DIY Blue and Brown Elephant Baby Shower, held at their family home.
Cute and Clever: Using Onesies as Banners! How adorable right?


Another cute decoration: a Tricycle Diaper Cake! (Find out how to make one HERE)

Brown and Blue look so nice together :)

Yummy Cupcakes made by the Mom's sister. How cute are those elephants?


Onesie banners :)

Can't get enough of these onesies! These little blank ones are for the wishes and
messages for the expectant parents and their baby boy :)

Ready to POP popcorn! hihi

A very charming center table set up, by family and friends: Diapers and towels bouquet at the center, surrounded by chocolate-filled booties and baby bottles as party favors.

What would a party be without games? Baby Bottle Drinking anyone?

What a challenge! Draw a baby, blindfolded!

A game for couples: Design your own diaper using a roll of tissue

The biggest, most beautiful baby bump game
(see who can put the most balloons and still have that preggy glow, hihi)

Congratulations Mommy JJ and Daddy Jonas!

And just like that, Kiel is now 3!

 This time, we wanted to host a small party with a few family and friends. We were sure that it would be a swimming party at our place.

 Now for the party theme, it was either Dinosaurs or Pirates for the little boy, since that was what he was so in to recently. So we went with the Pirate Theme, since it was a more ideal match for the swimming activity.

I simply made an e-vite for the guests and set up a Facebook Event.
Pirate Invite (E-vite)

I kept things DIY as much as possible. I loved the idea of throwing a homemade party and crafting too. And Kiel also loved helping out with the party stuff. It made the party planning more fun!

 We put the cake on top of our DIY Treasure Chest made of an old box and we covered it with black and brown cartolina and gold foil edges.

The Banners and Table Centerpieces are all DIY! :)

 I made paper boats and Talk and Look Like a Pirate Cards, then spread out some DIY spyglasses and treasure maps, Pirate Tattoos and Props, and lots of gold coins (gotta have the gold coins). With the help of Kiel, we drew on some Manila Paper to make the Map table runner for all the Pirate whatnots.

 Here are the Party Details in Pictures.

Banners made of Cartolina and Cardstock on Baker's Twine.
Letters are hand painted with poster paint


Paper Pirate Ships made of Brown Cartolina, Bbq Stick, and Black Cartolina, Cardstock flag

Table Runner is just plain old Manila Paper :)

Designed these Talk and Look like a Pirate Cards for a more Pirate-y feel


Party Trays from 8Spoons



Put Pirate Props like hats and beards and Gold Coins too

Just one of Kiel's cute drawings on the table runner-slash-Manila paper

Pirate Cake (Jake and the Neverland Pirates) by Mommy Smiley, which I met in Kindermusik, her daughter and Kiel used to be classmates :)

Make a wish my lil buckaneer! We placed the cake on top of a DIY treasure chest from an used box, covered in cartolina and gold foil.


Found this by chance at the grocery! They're yummy too :)
