Our May 26th Sundate

It's been some time since we had our last family date. Well, after all the preps and Yale's birthday celebration, we finally got the chance to relax and unwind.

Yesterday, we had a good time as we went to Marquee Mall for our family date. It's our 2nd time and we were able to check out the whole place indeed! We took the North Luzon Expressway, Angeles Exit to get there and went home taking the "old road" as it's raining cats and dogs in the afternoon.

Anyway, here's some of our photos:

while at the gas station, Yale managed to stand up so we can have a good shot :)

they really love shoes, huh!

And we had lunch at TGI Fridays!

hmmm, checking on what to drink little boy?

We had a great time and we'll definitely doing these things again, especially now that hubby's got a weekend off again! :)

Party Planning: PINWHEEL Themed Party

This is one of the cutest I know. If I had a baby girl, this will surely be her 1st birthday theme, but I don't have one, yet. So If you want to plan for your baby girl's birthday or baptism, maybe you would want to check this theme.

For me, this pinwheel themed birthday party should be more on bright colors. But if you want a dainty look, pastel colors will do.

'Til then! :)

Party Planning: MUSTACHE Themed Party

Now that my little boy's party is over, I can share some ideas that you can use on your next party planning. 

Still thinking of a theme for your little man? For adult parties, maybe? Well, here's another theme that will surely be a hit to your guests. A mustache themed party. :)

you can limit the colors to red, blue and white

I like this idea of a mustache themed party. Some call it the "Little Man Theme". I call it just a "Mustache" themed party so it wouldn't be limited to little boy's party but for adults too! 

Have you tried this party too?

GREYAM YALE'S CHOCOLATE FACTORY THEMED PARTY

Time really flies so fast! My little boy has turned two and I can already imagine the time that he'll be going to school and meeting new friends! Well, I'm just excited as many moms would be. I know he'll be a good and sweet boy as he is right now. 

As promised, here's some of the photos and supplier (review) of my son's 2nd birthday party.

The party host was indeed very entertaining and the guests said that they really had a great time!

Again, thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us! :)

Party Preps II: PARTY DECORS

Hi there! Yale's party was over and so my preparations all paid off since I got a lot of good feedback for the decors and party stuffs. I did not get a party organizer nor event decorator 'cause I have my brothers, sisters and my mom to help me out. I'm a hands on mom indeed!

Check out these photos:

I pumped these balloons in the morning and put them inside large garbage bags, turned on the aircon to keep them from popping!

DIY Letters, stand and lights by my siblings 

I didn't have a tarpaulin 'cause I think it will just be put to waste after.

So I asked them to just put Yale's name instead (magnets letters from Shakey's) 

DIY ceiling balloons by my brother 

Simple table centerpieces which includes popcorns, yogurt sticks and candies for the guests to eat while waiting.

All the decors are DIY and very economical. :)

YALE'S WHITE HAT Experience

Today, Yale had his 1st taste of White Hat's yogurt ice cream! Yehey! I think he likes it better than Tutti Fruti. The lady in the counter suggested for us to try the blueberry and cheesecake toppings because according to her, it's their best seller. And so we did!

This is sooo yummy!

He was amazed with the toppings and surely loved every bit of it!

He's a grown up little boy now, but of course he'll always be my baby! :)
