Momma Knight Owl

My favorite birthday party to date.  I decided to combine their 3rd and 2nd birthday parties together this year. And a thing 1 and 2 fit perfectly.  Table decorations were glass jars with red blue and white Daisies. Pictures from their photo shoot, goldfish bowls filled with goldfish and feather boas. At The kids table they each had their own hats.  We had a fun photo booth that was hand painted.  We had a fun fishing game made with heavy rods, string and magnets. The fish were bathtime toys with a screw inserted into its mouth. The kids had so much fun playing it.  So many fun things you can do with foods.  The cake was quite a centerpiece! Notice the best part? If you guessed a real goldfish you would be correct. ;)  The kids enjoyed their take home gifts. Homemade crayon rolls, coloring book, a sucker, stickers and bubbles.  It was a perfect fun filled night! I made their shirts, tutu and the baby wearing goldfish slip cover to go over my kinde...

I found 7 organic turkeys being marked down. They were turkey burger patties but it's all the same. I picked up organic pasta, peppers, black beans, corn and tomatoes. Went home seasoned and cooked up the turkey and made a tomato based sauce with chili powder, onion, salt, pepper, garlic, cilantro and cumin. It ended up being pretty spicy so I dumped a tub of plain yogurt. Made it super creamy and delish. I got 7 freezer meals! Eating organic doesn't always have to break the budget. I topped with cheese before baking. Add a dolop of sour cream and its perfection.

We spent less than 800 dollars!!! First things first the before. I couldn't stand the oak or the blue laminated counters.  We decided we liked a more country look so we chose to inlay the cabinets with a wallpaper we found at lowes. We cut and glued.  It took a while lol  24 hrs later I could start to see what it was going to look like. Hubby chose the coral. I repainted it ;) we decided to go with the rustolem cabinet kit white.  With and without glaze. We perfered  the glaze.  Next base cabinets. I wanted a color but didn't know what. I ended up choosing a color another blogger choose. Valspar woodland charm. We had it color matched to behr and in a satin.  We again opted for the glaze  Painted the walls behr burnished c...
