I know what your thinking – dates? How is this going to help me with my labor and delivery? Will this truly help me? When do I start this process? Let me explain!

Circus/Carnival Theme Party

Have you ever dreamed of what your child’s first birthday theme would be? How it would look?

Even before you were pregnant? I have. I always said when I had my first baby, I’d love to have a circus/carnival theme for their first birthday… and so it happened!

I’m excited to show you my son’s first birthday party. I had a lot of fun planning, creating and gathering ideas but as I was planning I noticed a lot of the things I wanted cost a lot of money. How would I throw this party on a budget and still have most of the things I wanted? Let’s be honest, we all know how expensive things can get… especially a first birthday party (or maybe it’s just all birthday parties lol). My husband and I are big on DIY and saving money (he’s bigger on saving money) so I knew I had to start planning ASAP if I wanted to get everything done on time for his party.
