Pink Train Party

Sharing is caring!

When it came the time to pick a theme for the party I knew right away what I wanted to do for her. We have a train that goes through the town we live in and you can hear the horn from our house. Miss E LOVES it and has quickly become obsessed with choo-choo trains. I think we watched Polar Express 1,000 times this holiday season and we even took her on a real train ride to ‘the north pole’. So it only made sense to give her a very girly Pink Train Party.

Pink Train Party

We had the party at an activity center this year so I wasn’t able to go all out with the theme like her 1st birthday, but here are some of the little touches I put together.

Pink Train Party

Most of the inspiration for the party came from this train party from Stacey Hawley Photography. I love what she did!

DIY Train Ticket Party Invitations

I created the invites with my Silhouette Cameo. I downloaded a ticket shape and then created the graphics myself.

I also created the little cupcakes toppers using my Silhouette Cameo. I’ve seen ones you can purchase on Etsy if you don’t have the ability to create them yourself.

I kept the party favors simple and put together little bags filled with pink and white candy and filled a little wooden crate I picked up at Michaels.

 And of course Miss E needed a little Birthday Girl Shirt! It wasn’t train themed but it was pink :) (Tutorial here)

So there are just a few of the little things I put together for her party this year.

    Such a cute birthday idea! I really love the tickets, I was surprised with a Cricut for Christmas and have yet to use it… I am guessing it is similar to a silhouette machine.

    Girl you never fail to amaze me with all you do, how talented you are. And you don’t think you did much for your little sweetie’s b/d? wow. You gals so inspire me what all you do for your kids b/d’s. It’s wonderful I think.
    I offered to make a banner for a little gal I know for her son’s 2nd. b/d on Saturday. He loves basketball and green and yellow. I’m still figuring out how I’m going to make it. I offered to make it for her to show other Mom’s so maybe they’d have me make banners for them. I’ve been trying to find a way to get the word out about what I do. I can’t afford to advertise or go to crafts fairs so I’ve been thinking on a way to get noticed. When she told me about her little guys b/d I decided to talk to her about it. She was thrilled when I offered to make it. Wish me luck ok? I’m kinda nervous about it but what do I have to lose? The Mom works at Burger King we visit too often.
    Happy Week Taryn.

Have you thought about adding more smart home tech Have you thought about adding more smart home technology into your own home? #ad It's been something we have talked about a lot over the past year, and I am loving the new products we've recently added from @amazon and @ring to refresh our home! Check out this video to see how I use them in my everyday life and head to the blog to read more about each product and @alexa99 #askalexa #amazonhome #smarthome
Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee table are back in stock! We love both of these pieces from @overstock (gifted), and they are used daily around here. I will say when it comes to leather couches, we all give this one a 10/10, it’s incredibly comfortable and a piece you will have fore a looooong time.

We’ve really enjoyed the past week and low key weekend, it’s definitely getting us all a little more excited for summer and being outside a lot more!

One of my top questions is about the console table One of my top questions is about the console table in our entry way, I got it from Arhaus about 6 years ago and haven’t seen it in stock since... BUT they have two other ones on sale right now that have similar looks to them. I also rounded up a few more that will give you the same look. I linked them to this post in the @liketoknow.it app and will share in stories as well!

It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle nex It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle next week which means major work on the backyard will be taking place! Things are moving right along. Our exterior started to get a new paint job this week (see stories) which will be finished next week, we will finish layer the paver pathways and installing the new turf next week as well! Next up, landscape and lighting. I love how this space looks already, and I can’t wait to show you even more of it. 🖤

We spend normally spend a good part of our day in here and it’s proven to be so functional and cozy. I’m so glad we put in the countertop/bar top for the kids. It’s been working out great.

I will be the first to admit meal planning is not I will be the first to admit meal planning is not my strong suit, especially when life is so crazy busy right now. I'm all about easy meals and the quicker the better. But with all of our family food sensitivities and allergies meals can be a little trickier. I recently discovered @greenchef and I am so excited because they actually offer meal delivery service that caters towards different dietary needs, ie. gluten free, paleo, keto, etc. I tried it out last week and was super impressed. The meals come with all of the ingredients, all food allergies correctly labeled and most of the ingredients pre-cut for you. I timed both meals and they truly only took me 30 minutes to make and the flavors were so good. Swipe to watch the video!
