Stella’s Jasmin Party (Photos)

Do you believe in magic? I sure do! 

Magic to me is seeing my girl's eyes sparkle, hear them giggle and and enjoying themselves telling me: "I love my Party".

Every time I get to celebrate a birthday for them is magic to me, this time was Stella's 6th Birthday and we choose one of my favorite themes, ever since the movie came out I've been secretly dreaming to organized a "Jasmin/Aladdin/Arabian nights/Whole new world Party" (I really can't decided how to call it) it is all of that in one, we love everything about it, from the colorful decor to the amazing music and the empowering message to girls.

Years ago I was a crazy mom who baked her own cakes and make almost everything from scratch, now that I am older, I got wiser (and tired) and learn few tricks here and there.

One of my best trick? I became besties with Amazon Prime and learn that Pizza, and Store cakes are delicious too!

So, I will be sharing in this post links of most of our Party supplies

I hope you like it and get some ideas for your next Magical Party

The cake was by Sams Club ($39.99) for a 2 tier any colors chocolate and vanilla cake, pretty reasonable and yummy. I added the lamp from Target (Sold out but similar here) a cute golden candle and come precious jewels from Amazon!

I copied most of the table decor from Pinterest, so adding some Ferrero Rocher chocolate as gold pieces a treasure box made a cute look too.

These were our goodie boxes and the toys that were inside

Our clothing

Stella's Jasmin Costume: here head piece here

Me: skirt here top here, hip scarf here head piece here

Victoria and Sophia: here

Dady Sultan's Hat: here

Lila's Tiger Costume: here

Making the balloon arch took me 1 hour and I think it ended up looking good (tutorial here), I added a shinny garland from Walmart and on the table had some Marshmallow pops (tutorial here)

I got the cupcakes from Sam's Club too they were chocolate and vanilla with white frosting, all I did was to add my color sprinkles,  golden cupcake cover and a ring toy on top!

To add color to de decor I got napkins from Walmart and Aladdin napkins from Party city.

For our friends, we gave them Hip scarves for the girls and my DIY Sultan turban for the boys. 

All you need for that is an elastic head band, a hot glue gun, a toy jewel and a father, all got it at Michael's, super easy to put together, added to the boys look; a fancy mustache from the dollar store and Ta-da!

I also had these cute and fun Pictures props from Amazon 

We had so much fun making this little party happen, all our dear friends are so  fun and talented, they shared with us their special skills, we learned some belly dance and we had yummy pizza and cake!

I hope Stella gets the best memories and hope she knows how much we all love her and adore to celebrate her!

Thanks for watching, see you guys soon

Our Fun Summer Week

Hey loves, thanks for checking my blog, today I have to share with you some pictures of the fun week we had. 

It's been a busy and amazing summer so far and here are some of my favorite moments, come with me while I share little pieces of it.

"Road Trip to Virginia"

It's been a while since I came to Virginia, I used to live there when I was single and one of the first friends I made is my sweet, fun, and beautiful friend Sarela, she is one of my best friends and I am super lucky to keep her friendship thru the years, we stay at her house and enjoyed a good time talking, eating and drinking wine while our girls played and danced, I loved visiting her and the memories we made are forever in our hearts. 

Thanks, Sare for having us at your beautiful home.

My baby Lila stayed for those days at her God-Fur Momma, who is, in my opinion, the best photographer! She sent me the cutes picture of my Lila while she stayed there, I mean, isn't she a top model?  Lila had the best time sharing wit her causing Mango and the whole family who are like her second family, can't feel anymore thankyou for them 

"Sweet Salomé's Birthday party"

They say "If you have friends you have everything" and I am a lucky lady with the friends life gave me the honor to have, one of them is Sonia, a great girl I meat when we (her and I) became moms for the first time, me with Sophia and her with her adorable boy Moises, thru the years we've been in contact and I was super happy to be invited to her middle child's birthday, of course, we went and we had a great time, is beautiful to hug a friend you have shared an important time of your life, seeing her again with her family just makes my heart so so happy.

We wish Salomé the best of life!

  

"Kid's Fun Paty"

So, we definitely party this week, we had not one but 2 

 kids of our family turning years this Saturday and of course, laughter, food, fun, music, bouncy houses and more were present! Just check out my girl's faces lighting up with happiness when they got their turn with the pinata! 

I love these memories and I am happy I am able to keep them in my heart and also in pictures.

Thank you guys for reading me, melts my heart to be able to share a little bit of our lives thru my little Blog! Hugs and kisses, Natalia

Birthday Photoshoot

My sweet, fabulous and talented 11-year-old daughter/"The photographer" for this Blog: Sophia, told me the other day: "Mommy, for your birthday, I want to give you a "Photoshoot free of whining" (Because in most photoshoots she does with me, there may or may not be some drama, fights, tears, bribing and whining involved - both, from the photographer and the model) Lol.

So, when she offered me such a kind and thoughtful present for my birthday I went all for it.

Here I share with you all the pictures we got, the theme was: "Happy, fun, young birthday girl celebrating in her pajamas" lol. We had so much fun setting up our background, playing, jumping on the bed and eating a lot of cake!

I hope you like them, I will for sure treasure all these images.

Xo, Natalia
