Would you slap me if I told you this is the easiest cake I’ve ever made? Literally, two layers of Betty Crocker goodness, slap on some pale pink frosting from a can (I used one white and one pink can mixed together) and add fresh berries and butterflies. Magical.

When everyone had checked off their list, they headed to the Terrarium Station to make a little home for whatever fairies might come their way. They were all so creative. There is nothing like unbridled creativity of children…especially little fairy children.

Every birthday…every single one…there is a moment I have to catch myself. This child, this amazing little being is mine. Mine. She came into the world at 1:19 in the afternoon and I held her first. Her first kiss was from me. We shared her first tears together. We inhaled each other’s smells together…gazed into each other’s eyes first. Every single birthday, I remember that moment, that first moment of their lives, when the doctor (and once Jarrod) announced what kind of sweet bundle they were and laid them on my chest. Even though every year they look a little bigger and lose a few more teeth, that first birthday never changes and I always remember it, whether we’re dancing through the forest, clicking tea cups, or sweeping for fun…I always remember and it makes me so grateful to have this time. I am grateful for fairies and fairy dust and magical forests…and her…
Oh my gosh- I think I've now sat through at least three of S's gorgeous parties!
And this one is HEAVEN!!
You and I are on the exact same birthday party loving ilk- NOTHING makes me happier than party planning for one of our kids!

Happy Birthday to your sweetest 6 year old! Toothless is just the cutest kinda fairy!! M xx
What a beautiful gift of LOVE! You truly have a party planning gift! Those sweet pictures of Sophia are absolutely precious! Every last detail was magical!
Wow, beautiful children, pictures and party! Beautiful zhis place in the forest…! I love it! Tanja
I loved it and I am sure she is still thinking about it to today and always. You did a great job Mother.
I love this girl and your big momma heart. You threw together such a sweet, thoughtful day for her. She'll never forget it.
I have read this a few times already and I love that you have included those fairy quotes. What a truly amazing birthday party. My daughter is way older than Sophia but I think she would still love the magic…
You are such a good mom! When you spoke about that moment when you think about your child and their birth, I got all teary-eyed. Birth and bringing a new little person into the world is so magical.
what a beautiful, thoughtful party. soph will always remember this.
This is such a cute party, you did an amazing job! Happy Birthday to your sweet 6 year old girl 🙂
oh my! I want to be one of Sophie's friends so I can come to one of your parties! You are so gifted and talented in party planning. I love all the details and how magical it all looks. you are so inspiring!
Wow! So magical. And that cake looks awesome! Sophie is so tall! I can't believe how much she's grown 🙂
Oh, how fun! I miss getting to create all those themed parties. Now my kids just want pizza and friends. They have become too cool for all that 'little kid stuff.' Sigh. You created an enchanted day for Sophie!
