All Best Friend's Should Have a Photoshoot Together!

I am starting to see more checks on my party planning birthday list. I already received the party favors, birthday outfit, invitations, ordered the cake and smash cake, ordered the banners and purchased a few decorations to start on. I've even made a sample batch of Oreo pops, which might I say were DELICIOUS! Below is a picture of the cake I sent our "Cake Lady"...I'm so excited to see what she comes up with! {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} My Baby's First Birthday Invitation!!!!!!!!

Miss Bryn's 1st Birthday is sneaking up on us! So far I have the outfit ordered, invitations picked out, and party favors bought. I need to contact the cake lady, go to my favorite candy shop to order the candy, truffles, etc., and make sure the soft serve ice cream machine is rented. On top of all the DIY projects I plan on doing for my my sweet baby girl! Let the fun begin! Wanna see a picture of the Birthday Girl's Outfit for her Big Day? If not, don't look. ;)

I am so happy with Shannon's work! Maybe I'm a little partial, biased or whatever you may call it, but I have the most beautiful little girl in the world! Hands down!!!

Brynham had a mini photo shoot at the Sweet Boutique in Fort Worth, TX, by Lilypads and Butterflywings Photography. I have received a sneak peek: I can't wait to see more and share them!!!!

I think in all my life I have done 1 walk in Dallas, which was about 15 years ago, and I most definitely volunteer and attend the Annual Danielle LeBlanc Memorial Benefit Concert for Battered Women , every year. But other than that, I don't actually "participate", much less lead a team. So, taking the initiative to LEAD a team is huge for me. But I am so excited to be part of this cause. Ever since my Gram was diagnosed with Dementia, and later on discovered the long term effects of this, I was terrified.

Let me just get one thing out of the way, before I continue: Oh but I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Last time I posted on my blog I was pregnant with the little nugget. She is now 10 MONTHS OLD, as of today!

I will post little things along the way to make up for lost time. With that being said, I start my first post off with HAPPY 10 MONTHS, BABY GIRL! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
