Me at 30

I'm officially 30 and at the same time celebrating my 5th wedding togetherness and happiness with my sweetie! A lot of things to thank God but not enough time to blog it all since I still got lots of brownies, cookies, and cakes to bake this evening.:) But some important highlights / blessings I would say would be the following:

• I have 2 beautiful, sweet, and caring daughters
• The business we started 3 years ago is continuously growing
• My pagibig housing loan application has already been approved as of yesterday
• My job is doing great. just recently earned another certification last month (http://www.prlog.org/11414205-misnet-consultants-gets-talend-certification.html)
• I recently finished paying one of my bank loan and by next month will be finishing another one:) One more left and we'll finally be debt free! weeee..
• We've already started investing on mutual funds since last year
• I have a loving, caring, and hardworking husband who's always been there to support me.
  

I know all these happened because God loves me so much and I know he will always be my provider. Of course life sometimes has its ups and downs but everything will always turn out great in the end because God is there and will always be there for us no matter what. :) So thank you Lord for my 30 years of existence and am excited to see what more plans you have for me in the next 30 or more years.:)


Praise God!

Part 3: Missy and CJ's Rockstar Princess themed Birthday Party

The final backdrop layout. I so love it!

This is the last series of my post re: our party preparation for our two daughter's coming Rockstar Princess themed party.

It's exactly a month and a day more to go before our girls' big day! Honestly, am sooo excited!

Here's my updated check list..
1. Balance for the side entertainment, host magician , and photographer are already ready (thanks to ninang robe, ninong leo, and ninang lourdes for the extra help este gift:) )

2. The cupcake boxes for the favors are already bought and almost ready. Cupcake na lang and kulang!

3. Missy and Cj's outfits have already been bought last weekend. Shoes to follow this coming weekend. We got it from SM Megamall. Daddy chose the items and his fashion statement.. Simple Pero Rock. The tutus I made are big no no daw sabi ni daddy.. lol :)

4. Backdrop and welcome tarps have already been printed.

5. AVP is already done. Thanks to tito dop for the help (eto na ba ang gift?hehehe)

6. Styro guitars for the table centerpiece are ready for painting

7. Taste test done last week. My favorite was the pork, veg, dessert, and chicken=)


Hmm... So with these, my final to-do's would only be the following:

1. Remind the caterer a week before the party that:
- we need 7 more tables for the dessert bar, cupcake tower, cake, gifts, prizes, lootbags, and registration area
- we need to use their overhead screen projector for the AVP
- remove the free floral table centerpiece (as advised by Party Boosters) and instead add floral decoration on the dessert bar, cupcake tower, and cake tables (is this too much to ask na ba??hahaha)

2. Buy nuts and chips for pica-pica (to be served by service crews)

3. Buy litro pack iced teas for extra drinks since the caterer's package only includes one serving of iced tea. The iced tea will be made and served by the service crews. Cool huh?

4. Buy edible treats as addition to the kid's loot bags

5. Buy stuff for Pabitin game

6.Go to Rustan's, Toy's R Us, Toy Kingdom, and SM Baby Co. to have our kids registered for their wishlist so guests who plan to come won't have a hard time guessing what gift they want to buy.. Thanks in advance na rin!=) . This is done!


A week before..

6. Remind our online buddies about the party. Also, distribute the invitation to those guest without facebook account. Now I see how important it is to have an fb account, lesser expenses on the invite! lol

7. Look for a friend who can lend me her curling iron for my girls. Anyone..??


A day before..

7. Remind the suppliers about the party

8. Bake dessert treats, cupcakes,and cake (so dami ng DIY ni mommy. Buti na lang supportive si daddy sa pagbili ng mga needed ingredients and materials and matyaga si yaya magligpit ng mess.lol)


Oh gosh.. how come it looks like I still need to do a lot!?!?

Planning for Missy and CJ's Rockstar Princess 4th and 3rd birthday Party!

We are so excited to plan for Missy and CJ's coming birthday party this year! Our girls' birthday months are close to each other, that's why we've decided to hold one birthday party for the two.

My DIY's : Personalized backdrop, invites, VIP name tags, themed plush toy pillows (guitar and crown shaped), Pinata, and the guest lists!

Here's my first draft of the party's backdrop tarpuline. I'll be adding Missy and Cj's picture at the middle portion. Hope I could have my girls' pictures taken again at BUB in this theme. I need hubby's approval on this though.. lol!


My first draft of their ticket invite which also need a major makeover:

Here's my first draft of the VIP name tags. I kinda like this one already=)

My next project is their AVP! Cheers!
