Trey’s Easter Birthday Party
I know this is a late Easter post (or an early one for next year!) but we won't pass up the chance to feature meaningful homemade parties here in HMP. Lucky little Trey already got two parties prior to this one and this was to be the the third party that Mommy Khaye will host in a span of a little over a week.

Cherry blossom season is almost up and some of it's blooms are gracing the blog today!

Liam’s Choo Choo Train Party
When little Liam turned two, he got to party not once but twice for his big day! Mommy Audrey shares: "The venue was too small to fit both our families in, so we threw 2 separate parties on 2 consecutive days instead. It was double the work, but the venue allowed us to keep the reusable decor on until egress the following day." What a lucky little boy to be celebrating twice ... Continue Reading

I'm a hoarder, especially when it comes to possible party supplies. I will find use ... Continue Reading
