Happy Birthday, Baby!

Lookie, lookie! Baby is almost 5! Her b-day is actually on the 28th, but we are going to be in NM on our first ever ski trip then (post to follow!), so we celebrated this weekend. Side note, I'm seeing that on the little blog ticker on "how old your child is", it's a year out dated. Oops.
So, if you've been with me awhile, you know I judge my motherhood on my birthday cake creations. Success! I'm a good mom for one more year! After brainstorming together, Baby and I came up with a "wear your pjs and watch Jungle Book" party theme. And since Baby can't resist pink, I made a pink jungle flower cake. And since there were about a billion 5 year olds, I also made jungle animal cupcakes (elephant, tiger, monkey, in honor of the animals in the movie). See photos.
It rained and rained and rained on Saturday, so it turned out to be a super duper day for movie and pizza in pjs. Now, I thought I had sent the invitations out a little late, so I pretty much let Baby invite everyone she wanted (all 21 kids). I thought, surely only about 10, maybe 15 will come. Nope. 19. Plus younger siblings and some parents (thank goodness there were plenty of adults on hand!) It was C-R-A-Z-Y. But lots of fun. See photos of the cake, what I thought the party would be like, and what it actually was. Happy Birthday, Baby!

Gettin' back to it

Hello again. It's been awhile. As is starting to get way too common. So we've been up to this and that. Hubby has been traveling for work and army waaaaay too much, and I'm getting over a sinus infection with bronchitis thrown in for fun. But enough about that.
I'm planning Baby's 5th birthday party! Crazy, crazy. It's pizza and pajama time with a Jungle Book screening. I'm planning on making a flower cake and cupcakes like the jungle animals in the movie (elephants, tigers, monkeys). It's gonna be a busy week, folks!
I'm also still trying to get this Tupperware thing to work. I've sorta been hit and miss (mostly miss) on it, but I'm going to give a real good go of it this time. Click on my new link to the right to get to the online catalog...sure would appreciate your support on this! I've got a list of names on it, and I'm gonna be making phone calls, gals. Phone calls inviting you to have fun, and well, let's be honest here HOST A PARTY! Even though I named my "business" Momma's Tupperware, it's anything but stuck in the 70s (or whatever era your mom hails). New fresh products...one of my favorites is the fridge smart system that will save you big time money by properly storing your produce. I could go on and on about all of this, but let me just say...you've been warned, friends! If you'd rather approach me first about hosting a party, that'd be great. Or be expecting my phone call! Seriously, they are fun...I make a simple recipe using Tupperware products (duh), and a low pressure sales pitch (again, duh, it IS a Tupperware party), and YOU, my dear hostess get lots of free Tupperware for just inviting your best gal pals over for a little food and fun. Win, win, win, is just about how I see it ;)
