There’s a whole lot of mixed emotions when I think about my baby turning 1. I seriously cannot believe how fast time has moved along and yet so much has happened in one year. Many parents warned me this would happen but seriously guys it’s not fair! I didn’t expect to love being a mommy but most importantly a mommy to Sofia. I became a mommy to this wonderful little girl who changed my life for the better. Sofia is full of life and is a complete blessing to say the least. I’ve seen her change so much this year and yet there is so much to look forward to! She is very close on walking all by herself and I can’t wait to experience that moment.
As I thought of birthday party ideas, and for Sofia’s birthday I came across a woodland theme from Pinterest. I instantly fell in love with the theme and the little woodland animals. I thought it was such a perfect theme for the season because it’s woodsy and fall like. I didn’t want to do something over the top, but I also didn’t want it to be too simple, ya know? So I kept it super minimal and picked a few things that were inspired by the woods. It all turned out better than I envisioned so look let’s take a look!
To say the least, Sofia enjoyed her birthday party with her wonderful cousins and friends. Since it’s still super hot in Houston we said “kids love pool” so pool party it is! We couldn’t resist not having chick-fil-a for food, and let me tell you it was a hit! I made some s’mores in bite size, I found this awesome idea from Pinterest here. The hedgehog donut holes were the kids’ favorite, probably because it was loaded with sugar (sorry mom and dad). Find the recipe here. The cake was custom made from Wink by Erica, I found her last year from Instagram and I used her for my baby shower. This time around I knew I’d use her again because her cakes are so delicious! I chose chocolate cake with Nutella filling (mouth is literally watering again). It was the perfect 1st birthday party for the perfect birthday girl. I hope you like my version of the woodland theme birthday party! Let me know if you plan to use this for your future kid’s birthday.
