We are down to the wire, with less than TWO weeks until Harper's first birthday! I'm totally that person that jots down ideas on random pieces of notebook paper, sends myself text messages in the middle of the night & of course endlessly pins things that I will never come back to... until it is almost too late & I'm doing the oh-shit-I-haven't-ordered-anything-yet dance. Eff. I hope all of my goodies get here in time.
Ready to see the birthday wish list? :) Harper personally asked for all of these items (not), since she got SO many toys for Christmas, we are taking a bit of a different route for her first birthday. A few things that will have her name embroidered on them to commemorate the occasion, some stylin' wardrobe accessories for the spring & some other fun goodies.
One
. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six
. Seven.
I also love this birthday cake toy food set, but not sure if it is age appropriate with all the smaller pieces. But seriously, how cute? Gift ideas are so hard for one year olds, especially with birthdays so close to Christmas! If your little ones are also approaching the big O-N-E, you can find some ideas in this post that Harper currently loves (minus the walkness monster)!
I just finished her invitations, I am super excited to have been able to incorporate not only pink ombre & gold glitter, but also chalkboard! I can't wait for the party & to share all of the pictures and details that we have planned!

And of course, thank you all so much for the sweet comments about Harper's killer dance moves. I've passed along all of the compliments which have encouraged her to continue perfecting her skills. I know, I'm in trouble! :)

In other Harpie Doodle news, she & her hair are both growing like weeds. Her new favorite things to eat are TownHouse crackers, raspberries, shredded chicken & homemade fruit smoothies. I'm trying to milk all of her 6-12 month outfits for one last run before she grows out of them. And her new favorite activity is pulling the chair pillows onto the ground & climbing over them... for hours. Literally, the best entertainment ever.

ReplyDeleteI love the color scheme- perfection!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so great !! I hope you guys have a wonderful & memorable day !!
ReplyDeleteThose floral jeans are adorable. Can't wait to see pics from her party. Can't believe she's almost one
ReplyDeleteIm a pediatric therapist and we use that cake toy all the time! great for fine motor skills- as an FYI there is also another version of a birthday cake, and a pizza just like this! Happy Birthday Harper!
ReplyDeleteI love that party invitation!! did you design that yourself -- and if so what program do you use? it's just too stinkin' cute! xo

Love it! That duffel bag is such a great idea! She (you) will always be able to use that. Especially when you're staying away from toys (also, not a bad idea... They only want the boxes at this age anyway). Love the invite! and those... pillows, they'd keep my *3* year old entertained! And they'd also go well with my seconds nursery theme. NOTED.
ReplyDeleteHey- I love the birthday cake idea- I work at a nursery school with guys a bit older than Harper and they love anything like this! Have you ever looked into products by "Melissa and Doug"? They are a nice hard, wood product as well that is built to last but they are a little bit less expensive. There is a birthday cake as well as many other wooden toys and puzzles. You can find them on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI have been planning in my head my daughters 1st birthday since we found out I was pregnant, Sophie is now 6 months old and in a way I am super excited for August 3rd to roll around but also wanting time to slow down. Very excited to see what you did for Harpie's party, I loved her dance moves :)

Perfect invitation, love it...can't wait to see all the details of her special day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful invites! Hope Harper has a wonderful first birthday and you guys takes lots of memorable pictures. :]
ReplyDeleteThat invite is so cool! Love the glitter! You can tell that Harper is growing up, cause we don't see baby clothes anymore! Now it's toddler clothes!
ReplyDeletethose jeans are SOOO cute! I can't believe it's already her first birthday! I am already planning in my brain for my son's first birthday and it's not until July! But if the next 6 months go anything like the last 6 I'm in trouble.... I am all with you on the procrastination! It's way more fun to pin then to actually DO! Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the wish list!!!!! Posts like this make me more excited to have a baby girl after two boys when I see all the cute girl things:)

ReplyDeleteHi. long time reader, first time poster. I have a 7 year old son (almost 8- where has the time gone???) and he LOVES to pull my couch cushions off and climb on them and make a "house" out of them. I love reading your blog. Thank you for putting yourself and family out there. I look forward to every post. :) Heather
ReplyDeleteMy little Blair turns 1 tomorrow, it's a bittersweet birthday for me cause it might be out last babe. Keyword might �� so excited for Harper's birthday!! Loving your theme! By the way I'm freaking out cause I still have things to order of the party that is Saturday! I'm just trying to soak up as much baby that's left of my little one
ReplyDeleteThose party invitations = perfection! Your so talented! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour posts make me so happy! Love the pictures of Harper and daydreaming about the day I can have a precious babe!
ReplyDeleteLove love love that canvas overnight bag! Might just have to snag the blue one for our little man, who's turning 1 this month too! All great finds - thanks for the ideas! We're requesting books from our guests for his bday (aka no toys please - he has enough), so we're gonna splurge on a cute personalized chair from Pottery Barn so he can have a place to read all his new gifts :)
ReplyDeleteLove so many things in this post. Love the birthday cake play food. Melissa and Doug has lots of cute play food too. The Gyro Bowl was the best thing for my daughters snacks. Can't wait to see all the party details.
ReplyDeleteGah! Love it! We are doing pink and gold too! Such a fun new craze. Hope it's everything you're dreaming of! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSo many great ideas! I am already thinking about what to so for my 6 month olds first birthday in July! I'm thinking the pink ombré is to die for! And I love that pink canvas bag! Are you thinking of getting her name put on it? Can't wait to see party pics!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have that snack ball and I love it! It makes for a great toy as well. The jcrew swim suit is darling. Too bad these cute suits don't come in our sizes.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the pics on her party and please let me know if i can feature Harper's big day on my blog as well? Email me when you get time at heidijrieck@gmail.com
Thanks girl!

So cute! Did you guys not do anything special for the Super Bowl?
ReplyDeleteFloral jeans!?! I need these! We just had our son's third birthday party last weekend, so I completely relate to the jotting notes on the nightstand & having dreams about the perfect dessert bar & adults bevies. Best of luck to you!! & can't wait to see Harpaganza.

Great ideas! You should look at the birthday cake toy by Melissa and Doug on amazon. I got it for my daughter on her first birthday and she has loved it, even a year later. It connects the pieces with Velcro and my daughter loves sticking the pieces together and pulling them apart! I hope the party goes great
ReplyDeleteHello! I've been reading your blog around the time Harper was born but I'm just now commenting. I loooooved that overnight bag so much that I HAD to order it right away. It's on backorder right now but it's just so cute that I'm content to wait until the 25th when it finally ships! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you have Harper's birthday invites created at!?!?
