Davis’ First Trip Around the Sun

I’ve been so busy with my other freelance work, I haven’t really done too many custom invitations this past year. So when Davis’ first birthday came around, I took full advantage and created something really fun and what I hope is memorable. I knew I wanted to tie in his announcements to the party theme, so I decided on a First Trip Around the Sun theme.

I know that Davis may not remember any of the little details included in his party, much less the party itself, but when he’s older and looks back on photos, I hope he’ll see how special it was and how loved he was by everyone.

Like his older brother’s 1st birthday invites, I wanted to incorporate his monthly photos as well.
It was so nice to hear that everyone enjoyed receiving these in the mail and that they loved spinning the wheel to see what each month unfolded.

Here is an animated GIF so you can see what every image contained.

I used one of the photos of him eating his smash cake to make these custom thank you note cards.
These party favors complimented the theme really well. I found someone on Etsy that makes these fun plantable die-cut shapes. I packaged them with my own backer card and translucent envelope.
Of course, the little kiddos got their own little party favors as well. A goodie bag full of fun little treats.
Once again, my sister made this cute little smash cake, that I topped with a matching little flag, and all the delicious cupcakes that got devoured.
The wind really picked up that day so a lot of the cute signage and even the balloon arch decor I had created was just being blown around. At least his little high chair banner stuck around for his cake smash and his little custom shirt managed to stay clean the entire day, which is pretty amazing considering this is how well his cake smash went.

I still can’t believe this little guy is one already and that I have two boys. I can’t say I ever imagined my life with two boys, but now, I can’t imagine my life without my two boys. 💙

A Quarantine & Chill Baby New Simplewear Design

Recently there have been a wave of pregnancy announcements that have been surfacing social media and if you can do the math, the current announcements are the results of NOT practicing 6 feet of social distancing in the bedroom. 😂

So I thought it would be fun to design a new simplewear onesie that takes a very serious pandemic situation, that we are currently still experiencing, and give it a bit of a lighthearted twist because I think right now we can all use a bit of a laugh and light in our lives.

A simplewear baby bodysuit to announce a baby with the text A Quarantine and Chill Baby with room for a custom month and year of when the baby is due as a result of staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Special Mother’s Day Tribute

A quote by Angela Schwindt:
“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

Wishing all you mamas out there a very special and Happy Mother’s Day!

Custom design Simplewear Mommy and Me tank top and baby onesie gift set.

Especially to all of you celebrating your 1st Mother’s Day. Discovering motherhood is hard enough in normal times, throw in a pandemic and you basically have serious bragging rights for the rest of your life. 😂

Making the most of our current situation and created a fun (and super appropriate) Mother’s Day quarantine style card for all the special mamas in Jackson Danny’s (and my) life.

Front: Wishing you Happy Mother’s Day from 6 feet away!

Inside: Looking forward to the days when we can hug and kiss each other again. xo

And to the little being that made me a mother…
THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU.

His face. My heart. Every. Single. Time. ❤️
