Over the next few weeks, we have several reasons to pull out the party decor. Mother's Day, Emma's birthday, my birthday, our 20th wedding anniversary and Josie's birthday all happen within weeks of each other. I've decided to give my blog a festive makeover to honor our upcoming celebrations.
Emma has informed me that it's not "cool" to have themed birthday parties when you turn 14. But that doesn't mean that I can't find a few ways to slip in some sophisticated decorations.
Several months ago, Josie announced that she wanted a flamingo-themed birthday party.
Not sure how she came up with that idea, but I'm looking forward to an outing to our local Dollar Tree to see what decorations I can re-purpose for her special 6th birthday.
Happy May!

Happy May Day! A flamingo birthday, how much fun! I can just imagine what your front yard is going to look like :)
Love the festive makeover - 20 years what a love story! Celebrations are in order.
They have so many cute flamingo decorations at Dollar Tree right now! My friend has a bunch of it hanging on her fence, including the blow-up flamingo!
I still have to send you that Chinese lantern card I told you about. Sorry about that, but it will be there soon!
You should go to Family Dollar and buy the pink flamingo yard decorations and put them all over the yard!
Good grief and I thought I had too much going on...Thank you for the dose of reality. If you can manage I can manage.....This is a sweet header. I love those yellow tissue balls. Hmmm flamingos? I will have to think on that one but I am more than sure you can tackle it. Smiles...Renee
And the dollar store has a ton of Flamingo stuff right now. Silly me didn't even know it was the 1st of the month. When I was an Accountant I lived and died by what day it was, now I barely know what month it is. Happy May Day!
I noticed your FUN and colorful header right away! Sounds like a great month of celebrating for you and your family!
Let the Parties Begin!

If you find out how to make those cool flower puffs, please post a tutorial. :) I think they are so cool!
May is a really busy month for you! Happy birthday to you and Emma and Josie! And Happy Anniversary too! Maybe you could arrange to have your yard flamingo'd just in time for Josie's birthday. :-) Someone pulled that stunt on our neighbors a few years back and idt was hilarious.
I love the things she comes up with! A flamingo party will be so fun!
