Sadie’s Unicorn Birthday Party

We had an epic unicorn birthday party for a certain soon to be 4 year old! Sadie was very adamant that she have a pink unicorn party, with a cake that had a unicorn on top and was pink on the outside and pink on the inside, and that all her bestest little friends attend. And she got her wish!

Sadie was so dang excited to get her party started!

My mom made the cutest balloon garland to hang above our window! Sadie was obsessed with it! I’ll do a tutorial soon, but to make it you need this balloon pump and this balloon strip.

Happy Birthday banner and all paper plates, cups, silverware, pink and gold tassel banner, and gold confetti balloons by Banner & Bow. Use code “Banner&Bow10” fro 10% off your order!

For food I kept it simple: puppy chow snack mix, fruit trifle, rainbow fruit and veggies, cheese & crackers, and veggie straws.

Sadie’s customers unicorn cake topper was beyond adorable! It was made by the amazing Arrow Town Designs and Sadie was so thrilled with how cute it turned out!

We served pink lemonade of course! I also ordered each girl her own personalized mason jar cup and they were a big hit!

Sadie wanted to decorate unicorn headbands, so I found these for the girls and they were SO cute! They came with small green and purple flowers on them, but I wanted them plain, so I just gently pulled them off. I kept the flowers so the girls could use them if they wished and I also picked up this pack of small felt flowers too!

And look how cute they turned out!!!!

We also played pin the horn on the unicorn, and built our own unicorns out of stickers. (these were SO cute and such a big hit with the girls!)

Sadie declared it the best day ever!

    I was fascinated with unicorns as a child. I would’ve been thrilled to celebrate with this theme. I especially love the balloons.

    OMG! What a GOR.GEOUS. SET UP!!!! What a lovely way to celebrate your little lady! She’s soooo cute too, and I love her outfit :). My daughter kind of skipped the whole unicorn phase surprisingly, so I’m hoping my son who’s a rainbow baby will take to Unicorns. And I will absolutely be coming here for some ideas! Well done, mama!!!

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
