How cute is this ice cream hair clip El wore to her party?

I fell in love with it the first time I saw it on My Little Pixies  (I also fell in love with the price).

I love that the ice cream cone barrette tied in the bright color theme with the ice cream thing and really brought every thing together.

I couldn’t have been more excited when it came in the mail.
It was so professionally made and I was amazed at the amount of detail that she put in to it.

Plus-I ordered it on a Monday (a holiday) and I got it on Friday morning. Such great news for a slacker like me!

Be sure to go check out My Little Pixies shop for more amazing bows. You will be blown away!

For El’s birthday pictures, I was lucky enough to try out a cute little Petti Romper from Summer Inspirations.

It was really hard to pick from the 22 available colors, but I was finally able to narrow it down between dark coral and aqua. Seriously, one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in a while!

I was super impressed by the quality of the romper and how comfortable it was for my little girl to wear. I expected the lace to be itchy and rough, but instead it was stretchy and surprisingly soft. I

Not to mention, it looked AMAZING in person and in pictures.

My next purchase from them?
The lace shorts!

When I started planning El’s birthday party (I think she was about four months old at the time. Oops! I’m crazy)…I was having the hardest time coming up with themes.

I knew I wanted to go all out for her party because 1) she took us forever to conceive, and 2) I like parties. So, when I came across Phrozen Soft Serve‘s site, I knew right then and there that I had to have an ice cream machine at her party.

Having that theme in place made the rest of the party planning a breeze.
Only…I was super stressed out about getting that huge machine to the party.

Luckily, Ryan at Phrozen Soft Serve had that all planned out. You should have seen the amazing trailer he drove the machine up in. Plus, he helped me set the machine up and make sure it was all working before the party started.

He took the time to explain the machine to me and he was very personable. Hearing him talk about his company made me even more excited to try out his machine!

For the ice cream, I chose Vanilla and Chocolate Frozen yogurt. It was really good, and I am really glad we went with that choice. I had a lot of people mention to me that it was some of the best frozen yogurt they had ever had.

The best part was that the machine made so much. We were able to feed everyone at the party, plus have even more people over once the party ended. Sure we may have been creepy inviting all the neighborhood kids over, but they loved it!

Are you in the Utah area?
Keep Phrozen Soft Serve in mind for your next event!

After I posted about the party, I knew I needed to gush about a few shops.
Part of me wanted to keep them all my little secret, but then I remembered that that wouldn’t be fair to all you lovely readers. Dang.

So, first up?
InTheClear

You have heard me talk about InTheClear so many times before (like here and here). That’s because most of my party supplies came from them.

They have the most beautiful things ranging from washi tape to wooden spoons. Really, this place is your affordable one stop party shop.

I was so blown away with the amount I was able to order for the price that I paid.

Here are a few things from InTheClear‘s shop that I am eyeing right now.
