Travis' And His Minion Themed Party

Let me share this to you, after I posted pictures of Travis' minion party, I received messages asking where I got this or that, so I decided to make an entry to help Moms/Aunt/Sis or any event planner to help them save (yes, read it right SAVE!) it's in the matter of setting your budget, and stick to it!

So where will I start?
It was then June, when I ask Travis what theme he wants for his birthday, he always says, soldier or army. So okay, that would be easy, because it's generic. But then comes July, out the Despicable Me 2 movie, he then like Minions, so Minions it is. I searched Google and Pinterest for ideas, and all of them were do-it-yourself which won't make it, because I'm a working (busy) Mom. But with the help of online sellers and sticking to the theme Minions (which are yellows and blues) I think we pulled everything off just right.

So let's start with?
A. My Party Planner, Ms Ley and Mr. JB of InstaShot Photobooth.
    Got their Package that includes:
1. Event Styling, I personally requested less on balloons, and still they made everything look so great! Fun-tastic styling guys! Designs were made of lanterns, medallions, diy minion bottles. They also provide our game master and sound system too. 

While that Travis standee in the middle (him with an ice cream on his hand) was ordered through Aimee of Ma Arte Aims. 

2. Candy Buffet, surely their gummies, candies, oh those yogurt sticks are FTW! 

3. Face Paint, for an activity on the side.

4. Magician: JB Lazerman, since Travis is Three now, he can then participate in the games, not to mention perform some serious magic. You can check his FB Page here: Lasermagic by JB Dela Cruz

5. Three 3 hours standee photobooth, which we, our relatives and guests enjoyed. 

B. SisterArt : Cake and Cupcakes
Because we wouldn't want to miss SisterArt! :) More of their art cakes at their FB Page: SisterArt Bakeshop

C. Mascot and Photo Coverage: Ren Events. Visit their page here: http://renevents.org/cosplay-costumes-makers

D: Give-aways & Prizes, candies, gummies:  I bought them over at FB online sellers. I listed their FB links and what we ordered from them. 

   Paulen's PartyNeeds: From party prizes to candies, I ordered three times from this shop.

     Partie Invitazion: Tumblers and Bag Tags - useful and convenient, and cute too. 

Personalized Kids Minions shirts - Markchen's Shop

Table Centerpiece is a must since I don't put much of balloons, and our guests took them home. from Kulukuti Haws.

I believe you can get everything in one supplier, but for someone like Me, who won't settle for one, I think this could be of help. 

Oh, Food, before I forget. I booked them through Rose, a good friend whose a event stylist and planner too, check out their FB Page here: The Eventologist. And their food was great, especially their beef broccoli and baked macaroni. 

 

To cap off this post, I have to share this photo, where Travis and Laserman gets to amaze everyone with their snow magic: 

and I'll get this opportunity to thank everyone who helped and inspired me. And as I post this entry I hope I get to help making any themed party possible, well as your birthday boy/girl thought of. Happy Planning! :) 

Greeting Cards

When was the last time you actually wrote a greeting card? With all the wide range and assortment that stores have, come chose and get one for someone special. That I miss, blame technology, blame FB, twitter and other social media, well excuse to people who are miles away, but hey it's never to late to go back to basic, eh?

So get one! I just did, since my Mom and Dad doesn't have FB with no plans of having one, and they'll be celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary on February 14, yes, Valentine's day. I always see to it that they'll receive greetings cards from me and my sibs on their special day, oh and that made me think of buying the Husband, and oh am making one for Travis too, hope he'll appreciate it. 

                 

Make those red pens ready too. 

Q: Do you spray his or your fave perfume on cards? 

2012, the Year that Was and Here's to 2013

68 Days Countdown

Would you believe it? 68 more days and it's Christmas! It was pretty fast-fast huh. But in our home, it's officially started, that's why as early as October, we set-up our family's first ever Christmas Tree, we had trees before but this one is different, we decorated it, it's gonna be one complete holiday for us, The Husband is here, Travis knows much about opening gifts though I'm not sure if he'll get up at midnight, hope he will, cause last year he was all asleep soundly beside me while we're exchanging gifts. I'm planning everything from shopping, gifts, menu and where and when to go to celebrate it. I want my family to enjoy this Holidays. I am so excited. This by far is the most perfect Christmas and I'm forever thankful for this opportunity given, I promised to savor each second of the hour of the day of the month of this Holiday! I can't wait to start to Christmas shopping huh! 

Then 22 days before Christmas, I'll be celebrating my 27th birthday, the Husband told me if I have a birthday wish, I said it's granted. Wanna know what is it? It's Christmas with him and Travis. *kilig* thats more than enough, I could say. 

So friends, girlfriends, Mommies, Daddies - everyone, let's join together to celebrate the Holidays and welcome 2012! 

Have a Blessed Christmas to us all!

Four Year and More..

Celebrated our First Anniversary together with his family. Jason in his body 20kls lighter, while I never thought I'll wear a yellow head band with a royal blue top. Where they thought it was my birthday..

Second Anniversary was just US with his Nephew AJ. Just had dinner and coffee.

And four days after off we go to Boracay, Yay!

This was last year, the most decent picture we had together. I'm going 8 months on my pregnancy, isn't it obvious that I hid behind my Husband. Yes, you heard it right, early last year we got married. We celebrated it with my Mom, Kuya Ryan, Ate Sheryl, Shyan and Yenyen. 

And this year, though the Husband is not any nearer and working his butt aboard, I will be celebrating it with his mini-me, Travis. It's gonna be just Me and Travis on a dinner date on our Fourth Anniversary. Right then, I called up our fave resto and reserved a seat for two.

And today the 15th, it's official I'm counting the days until the Husband arrives and that's 16 days from now.

Can't hardly wait! Travis and I misses HIM so much! Expect more of wacky-us, and now we're THREE!

Perfect 10

Today we celebrate Travis 10 month birth-day. After his Yaya Angel  left us exactly 10 days ago, I had lesser time to get online, read books but the good side of it is I get to play with Travis all day long, watch cartoons and be a kid again, the only time I'm not that close to him is when I need a trip to the bathroom. If there's one thing I'm afraid that I can't do (that Yaya Angel is so good at) is to dance Travis to sleep. But two days before she left, there was something pretty unusual, Travis can sleep on his own. Now that maybe a sign that I need to let go of Yaya Angel and just accept it an start anew. 

Since today is a Sunday, we're off to Crossroad 77 for Sunday Service. This time I get to sit in at Sonshine Street ( Children Ministry ) I was all smiles when I see lots of kids, oh I love them all! And my little Travis met  Kuya Ethan, the boy with so much energy. They're dancing, singing, play and color. I think I wanna be a kid again. 

Since Travis is 10 months, and all the rest were 2-4 years old, he opted to (just) sit on my lap, he's so amazed seeing kids, or maybe he's thinking of ideas of how he will be when he's in their age - full of energy. Yay! 

Here's him while everyone's dancing and singing.. He's praying(left photo) and clapping(right photo)

And he's enjoying it. Teacher Mahlyn told Travis he can join them next time. (Momma-clap) 

And what's next? Eating time. Oh we can't miss this! 

So far 9 months of pregnancy plus 10 months of Travis-mania, I'm embracing the challenges, I cried, but I laugh more. I am truly blessed for having greatest friends, supportive family  and you, yes you who took time to read my blog, and of course one perfect-10 Husband (the wife's speaking here).

Everyday, I am ten-ful (well, 10 being the highest!) and Thankful!
