Emma’s Pink Barbie Party
Emma was pretty clear from last that she wanted a Barbie party for her birthday. I have never done a Barbie party before, Kiara’s themed have ranged from monsters to zoo animals, very little pink. It was a fun theme to do and it was the first party we have hosted at home in ages. […]
Emma’s Rainbow Party
I decided on a Rainbow theme party for Emma’s second party and it was probably the most fun I have had with a party. It was so colourful and the ideas were endless, all you needed was colour! Probably my favourite part were these streamers! When I was shopping for stuff I popped them in […]
Rainbow Cake
