DIY projects for a birthday party. Our toddler got 2 last week.

It was our toddler second birthday, as it was just after our holidays in Tenerife, we decided to make this day special but with less effort as we did last year. Less effort I wouldn't say that it was less beautiful. We do not like, typical Happy Birthday things sold in special stores, as we think these are not as magic and personalised as we wanted to do for our toddler birthday. So, below I would like to share with you some birthday DIY projects.

The idea was to inflate balloons all the living room, as our toddler couldn't manage to go through them, but unfortunatelly it was just an idea, as in practice it was much more difficult to do, as only my husband were inflating them.

Then another idea was to make a hangouts images with birthday party wishes. For this task I took:

1. Free birthday icons from freepik.com, printed them and cut into pieces
2. Thread, white one as it is not so important this to be visible, glue, pictures of our toddler and icons printed before
3. Images, icons I pasted with the glue on the thread and leave it to dry.

These 2 ideas we managed to do for our flat decorations.

As well we had to prepare for his birthday in the nursery, actually everyone bring a cake and they celebrate this day in the nursery. We wanted to make his birthday in the nursary a special one, the idea comes to my husband, and this was to inflate balloons and make little dogs from the balloons. The girls in the nursery told us, that kids enjoyed the day.

I am happy as long as my toddler is happy, and there is always time and wish to make a great day for your kid.

I´m a big boy! I´m 1 year today!

Being a mum it is a nicest thing that could happen in my life, and today I´m feeling like it is my second birthday. Isn´t this strange? ....no, in case you are a mum.

As it is Damian´s first birthday we wanted to create something special for him, it was a little bit difficult if we take into consideration that he doesn´t understand that it is his birthday. So, we´ve opted for very colourful things today, that he can feel that today is a special day, no matter what is happening, but it is special for him.

All the decorations we were preparing during the last two weeks me and my husband, all the ideas came from pinterest and youtube, nothing new I think. If you want to create a nice party, just go there and you´ll find millions and millions of ideas. The only one thing you need is time and pacience.

We have choosen yellow, as it is our favourite colour, as well we were thinking about green, but we thought that it will be too much to combine more than one colour. See below how we´ve decorate our living room :)

We have printed 100 images, for creating this wonderful number one, with all the brightest moments during last year.... but in case you want to do it as well, you just need 50 as much.

Pom-poms are done by me, pinterest - my teacher :)...and how you like our big number one?

It is too much of number one.... are you sure?... no, I think it is good enough :)

Of course, how without a family portrait. And Happy Birthday our little sunshine!
