Frozen Spa Party with TownleyGirl

Every little girl I know absolutely LOVES Frozen!  You can imagine my daughter and her little friends excitement when we threw a Frozen Spa Party with TownleyGirl!

We invited a few little princesses over for an afternoon of sweet treats and pampering. Check out the fantastically Frozen spa day below!

Each little princess was given a pail filled with Frozen glitter and confetti nail polish as well as Frozen lip gloss.  I used mini pails and attached glittery snowflake stickers to the front of the pails. They were the perfect size to hold all the darling favors. 

Even though this was a sweet and simple play date, the girls had to have party hats! I made these enchanting hats with my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine and added a sparkly gem to each hat.

The girls took a quick break from painting their fingernails to have a  nibble of cake. I made a classic round vanilla cake and placed paper snowflakes on top. Nothing like a quick and easy party treat! 

The girls had a blast braiding  hair and donning sparkly bows and tiaras from the  Glam Me Up Set. How cute is that crown topped lip gloss?! The girls loved seeing all of their favorite Frozen characters on their lip balms and polishes. 

The girls were OBSESSED with this Frozen glitter and confetti nail polish  and had a ball painting their fingers and toes all different colors. The confetti nail polish was a particularly a huge hit with the girls because they loved the idea of wearing confetti on their nails.

Frozen Dress- Up Mania Kit had everything to keep the party rolling! From Frozen press on nails to shimmery gems, the girls felt exactly like Elsa in her grand ice castle!

Pedicures are a must for a spa party and the girls had so much fun painting each other's toenails. Some of us moms even got in on the action! We just couldn't pass up a free pedicure, especially one that involved lots of shimmer and glitter.

As a take home favor, I placed a couple  Frozen lip balms, an adorable Frozen hair bow and a Frozen lip gloss with phone inside a goody bag with a sparkly crown attached to it. 

The girls had the time of their lives and are looking forward to our next spa afternoon!

Thank you so much, TownleyGirl!

If you have a young adventurer that is curious about the world around her and loves to explore, you've got to check out these incredible books for young readers by National Geographic.

They're filled with adventure, intrigue and inspiration. 

When our 7 year old cracked open Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret for the first time, she was instantly hooked. She could not put it down and plowed through it in 3 days! What she loved most about this book was all the cool adventures and expeditions Cruz and his friends were a part of and the mystery that surrounded it all. There are a lot of surprises and unexpected twists that will keep you turning pages until you lose track of time. Our daughter is wishing there was a real life Explorer Academy because she is ready to sign up!

Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret is a book filled with intrigue, suspense and is filled with amazing illustrations. We are patiently awaiting for the next book in the series to come out!

Be sure to head over to  National Geographic Kids where your kids can play code-breaking games, learn about their favorite characters in the book and lots more!

The National Geographic Kids Almanac is filled with amazing facts from all around world and everything your kids are fascinated with. I love having our daughter start out the day with "Did you know..." and then she'll fill in the blank with a cool story or fact she read about in the almanac. I love how this book fosters creativity and curiosity and teaches kids how exciting our world is and that we have the power to make it a better place.

Check out the National Geographic Kids site to explore and learn about fascinating facts, play fun games and watch some really cool videos!

Black Cat Halloween Party

We had this party last year and I thought since Halloween will be here before you know it, I better share our fun Black Cat Halloween Party! 

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. You get to wear costumes and eat candy...what could be better? Every year I throw a kid friendly Halloween party for my daughter and her friends. It’s a not-so-scary get together where the kids dress up in their favorite costumes, eat snacks and play games.

The stage was set with the darling black cat invitation from Invited by Audriana. I loved the non- traditional Halloween colors of mint and black and planned the entire party around the minty color palette.

No ghosts or goblins at this party, just a witch’s favorite sidekick, a black cat. I thought it would be a perfect theme for kids since it’s not scary and... who doesn’t love a cuddly cat?!

Sometimes it’s hard finding party decor to fit your color and theme for a party so I made it all myself using my Cricut Explore Air 2. Instead of searching party supply stores and the internet for what I needed, I was able to just grab some papers in the colors of the party and get to work!

Handmade awards were given out to the best costumes as well as tiny black cat goodie bags. The kids had a ball with the black cat photo props and party hats complete with cat whiskers.

The little party goers had a blast and we all loved dressing up and munching on our favorite Halloween goodies!

Happy Halloween!
