Simple FROZEN Party

When I say simple, I mean SIMPLE.

Farm Girl's Vintage First Birthday - Sunflowers, Mason Jars & a Farm Cake

Last week we celebrated my cousin's daughter's 1st Birthday! 

Matea is the cutest thing ever! I was super excited to sneak over while my cousin was at work for a little photo shoot with the birthday girl!

My Aunt Carmen found the vintage chalkboard at a yard sale and I drew the design on freehand (eek!) We also used my cousins old baby quilt and a vintage chair to complete the styling.

Don't you think its soooooo cute!!??

Little Matea was the perfect model!

Later that weekend was her party and my Aunt and I were able to surprise my cousin and her husband with the photos! 

I love how my cousin pulled vintage items from around the house and snipped some sunflowers from the fields to style the party.

My favorite part of the party decor was the cake (isn't it always!?) made by my cousin Michelle!
She is brilliant and so talented!! She also made a cowboy cake for my son and a ballerina cake for my daughter. We all keep trying to convince her to open up shop!

My husband and I made the large M from reclaimed wood as part of Matea's birthday gift! It made a great backdrop for the cake!

 I mean seriously, this cake!! I can't decide which animal I liked the best!

The birthday loved her presents...

and she really loved her cake!

Matea decided the chicken was her favorite!

yummy!

Happy First Birthday Sweet Matea!!

Crazy Cake {recipe}

Sticking with the birthday theme for the week, here is one of my go to cake recipes! Its amazing and fun to make with kids (if you dont mind a little clean up afterwards!!!)

There is something very nostalgic about pulling out an old yellowed recipe-

or 

having my mom pull out the recipe & send a picture of it to me

- to make something from my childhood. 

2 year birthday!

Little Miss Ellery turned 2!

 Sure its taken me a month to do a post about it, but have you tired to keep up with a 2 year old lately? Exhausting!!! I also can't seem to get her to sit still for pictures...unlike her little brother, but thankfully my sister was able to capture some super cute pics of  Elle on her birthday!
