Can’t believe my little girl is THREE!!😭 We had a family party at our apartment yesterday! This year, we played pretend restaurant and I themed it after @lemonadela, “Havenade”! They dressed up as chefs, took our order and served us brunch. Simple concept of playtime, but when your almost 6 year old son leans towards you while eating and says “Ummah, Haven’s party is SO fun” it definitely makes you realize kids just want to spend time and play with YOU! If you’ve been following me for more than a year you know I love throwing my kids parties. It doesn’t matter if it’s just family or with all their friends...a birthday is a birthday and if I’m able, I will do what I can to make them feel loved on their special day because they mean the world to me. Also, let’s be honest, it’s only once a year LOL 😂 All prep, day of and party hack live stories are archived if you want to check it out!
It’s @sweetsbykeeks wedding TONIGHT and I’m finally getting around to posting about her Save the Dates!! Puahaha. You’ll see (later today) that her wedding theme is completely different than these. I like designing save the dates that are fun and not necessarily related to the wedding look/feel. These reflected their love of bearbricks! Can’t wait to celebrate tonight at the wedding! More papergoods to share on my live stories tonight! See you then 😘
I’m at that awkward stage of my pregnancy where it’s like “is she fat or is that a baby bump” lol! Sigh. That dress I’m wearing doesn’t help being all bunched up at the top. Ugh. Whatever. I’m wearing the bump AND fat with pride because pregnancy is a blessing and privilege. Also made banner #2 (new hobby) but it pales in comparison to that gorgeous floral arrangement by @theflowerbyyoori 😍😍 She just had her GRAND OPENING! Go check out my stories for more pics!! GO VISIT!!
What’s happening!?? A baby!?? Jk, they’re actually both super excited they just love taking goofy pictures. Swipe to see more of their shenanigans. We all can’t wait for baby #3 to come at the end of December! It’s going to be cray. 🤪😳 also getting into linen banners~~❤️ my next hobby lol
Before the day is over-posting a Happy Father’s Day post for my hubs @therealjohnshin! You bring the fun and energy everyday to this family! So so thankful for you and everything you do for us! Even now, after a long Sunday—you are making a late run to target to get water shoes for Matthew’s water day event for school and groceries for their lunches. You insist you should get it because it’s late and dangerous for me to be out this late but also you’re just awesome like that. We love you! More fun pics in my live stories ;)
My son has been asking me to make him some creature power dics from his favorite TV show “The Wild Kratts” @thekrattbrothers and I finally got around to them. 😬 I live-storied the process if anyone wants to make them :) definitely a #laboroflove (background: basically in the show these dics turn you into animals-it’s a a great educational show and I highly recommend it for any age group!)
HE IS RISEN!!!!!!
You guys know I love at-home parties right? When I saw the 1st party @prettylittleevents and @sweetleemade did my heart giggled~ you guys rocked it (as always). I’m just happy I got to contribute a little with the paper goods hehe. Yay for at home parties!! Lovely pictures captured by @hanabyhannah who also did the florals as well! Happy Monday everyone!
Why hello there terra cotta~ you have found a way into my heart ❤️ a sneak peak before my real post haha - Paper goods by @paperhavenink, styled by @sarahparkevents for the beautiful bride @madebydavinakim, lovely capture by @perpixelphoto
Hosted a baby shower today and I’m posting about it on the SAME DAY? What is going onnnnn? This was a very special, personal shower for all is us. My dear beautiful friend, after so many years of trying for a second child finally was pregnant with a baby girl. Later she found out her Dallas Kate had congenital heart disease. I knew even before she was pregnant I was going to throw her a shower-“when”not “if” she got pregnant but after the news about Dallas Kate’s heart, I knew this shower would be different. The theme was “love in action” we wanted to bring all her amazing sisters together to support her and love on her through prayer. Let’s just say, we used a lot of tissues. Heartfelt-full of love-we’re ready for you Dallas Kate-you have an entire village already totally in LOVE with you. I love you my dear @huongie, we are always here for you forever. Check out my stories for the behind the scenes as well as some details I couldn’t fit in the 10 pic post they let you do haha!
When paper goods can wiggle their way into flowers. My fav. Hehe. Love this capture by @perpixelphoto of @madebydavinakim’s wedding. Florals by @theflowerbyyoori, styled by @sarahparkevents
What a weekend! If you followed me on my stories you know-the amazing @madebydavinakim got married and her wedding was one to remember. Her vision and design for her own wedding was mind blowing. And then I got to meet @sarahparkevents and wait what? How are these girls so good at what they do? I was honestly so thrilled just to be working with such talent! Can’t wait for the professional shots from @perpixelphoto. Thanks for this photo Sarah!
At any event, wedding or birthday, my son and husband always make it a point to take any of the paper goods home with them. (Even if I didn’t make it) It’s very endearing because no one takes that stuff home haha but they do. They’re both extremely sentimental. (And a bit of a hoarder) 😂 Sweet boy of mine-may your heart always appreciate the little things in life. #mymommadeit
When the map is more eye candy than informative haha ;) swipe to see the whole suite. Hawaii with the family is on my bucket list. I still remember when I went back in fourth grade. Best family vacation ever. I hope to create that for my kids in the near future ❤️
Double vday post! Sorry haha! I saw these at @target and I couldn’t say no! They just screamed Valentine’s Day so last minute made tags and wrapped these puppies up and gifted them to the ladies at the office. Swipe to see what I did for my coworker that’s pregnant! Too bad most of the girls took today off 😭 I guess they’ll see it tomo haha!
It’s Valentine’s Day!! Here’s what we did this year for the kids school treats. I say treats but yeah, I try really hard not to do candy. I did raisins one year lol! I’m THAT mom. But this year I designed an activity/coloring card and stuck some crayons in~! Swipe to see a video of each page! :)
Oh wait. January is over. Wait what? Geez why does time move so fast. February and March are going to be craaazy you guys. CRAZY. And then hopefully in April I can finally say good bye to the crazy crazy and just be semi-crazy. Also this pic hahaha. When you’re hanging out with @madebydavinakim and @simplyseraevents and you ask them to make your calendar pretty using whatever was in the room at the time. Skilllllzzzzzz. 😍
Friday introduction? I know it’s been awfully quiet on my feed-popped in and out on my live stories once-but didn’t post last month. But hi! I’m still alive. Still hustling. It’s just so hard to keep up with IG to be honest haha. But one fact about me is that I’m a very private person. It’s difficult for me to openly share if not prompted. Which is probably why posting things on social media doesn’t come naturally for me. BUT if you ask me anything about my life I am an open book! I will tell you anything you want to know. How does that even make sense? Haha. I guess I’m always afraid that people could care less what I have to say but if you ask then obviously you want to know? I’m a classic introvert 🤷🏻‍♀️what about you? Extrovert? Introvert? Private? Open? I asked! Oh and this sign is for a “baby shark” first birthday happening this weekend! Thought the teeth marks were fun hehe so wanted to share. 🦈
Happy New Year!! Wanted to share the Christmas/New Years cards I made this season! I tried to make it more practical since I’m sure most people don’t hang our family picture on their wall all year long 😂 soooo this year I made a simple print on one side they can use as decor (traditional family pic on back), then a separate insert with a calendar, bible reading chart on the inside and new year goals on the back. You can stick it in your bible or you can prop it on your desk to use the calendar! Hope it’s useful 🙈 check out my live stories for a video-made a kids version too!! Let’s start this year right!
2019 will bring about much change. I am leaving the event industry and venturing onward to new adventures!! Still have a handful of events booked but not much. But...looking at my best nine only two of these pictures were actual “paid” jobs haha. Everything else was either for family, friends or just for fun soooo I guess not much will change in that front 😜 still have birthdays to plan and events to host in 2019. Behind the scenes live stories will remain pretty consistent I think. Thank you for all the support!! I always appreciate the love ❤️❤️
