Jared's Happy First: Jake and the Neverland Pirates Themed BirthdayParty.

Our Little One finally turned one last Sunday (November 2). The family celebrated at Children's Place -where a function hall for parties is conveniently located above a specialty store, here in Tacloban City. To celebrate the milestone we opted for a costume party, since halloween wasn't far behind and no one outgrows playing dress-up.

Got the chance to blow the candle while the Little One was busy.

Inspired by Jake and the Neverland Pirates, a Disney show we always watch, we went all out for DIY.

Pinterest and google search were both treasure chests of ideas.

Like most new families, we also wanted to make it more hands on a.k.a budget friendly. We did all the decorations from the invitations, table centerpieces, backdrop, stage props, game accessories, loot bags, and balloons.

For the food, Mr. P's aunts prepared the menu with additional hands to help. Since we didn't have an oven available, we just bought prepared cupcakes and two 9x13" chocolate cakes which I decorated with buttercream icing.

Buttercream icing handmade with love by yours truly.

The games consisted of pirate games such as pin the tail on the parrot, hook the ring, pinata, and find the treasure chest. The loot bags and sword balloons where given in exchange for the golden stones found scattered around the venue.

Even the adults joined in the fun.

Food, fun, and family... A memorable first for our little one. The gifts were opened the next day to give way for resting. The party started at around four in the afternoon and ended at seven in the evening. A time worth it for a month of preparation.

Smile everyone!
Fun! Fun! Fun!

Thank you for all who contributed to the success of the party. The event was truly a family effort. To the guests who shared this moment with us, thank you for celebrating with us.

But I Have Nothing To Wear!

Hello there, it's been a while and a lot has happened. After months of MIA here, I finally mustered the courage to type away -thanks to my burgundy polish (not that it has anything to do with blogging). Back to the topic at hand...we all have those moments when we have nothing to wear amidst a closet full of clothes. A reality that nothing fits anymore, or a reflex for a shopping excuse, whatever the reason is, having nothing to wear has been an epidemic. As such, different wardrobe capsules have emerged. Project 333  for one has made the rounds in the internet. I also have eyes on this  capsule wardrobe  for a minimalist take on clothing. Regardless of the path you choose, having a goal in mind is key. While I was browsing the internet looking for articles that feature the basic kitchen tools and equipment  to have (for our new home), I chanced upon an article from thesimpledollar  and I couldn't help but think that the tips can be applied on other thin...
