Party like a Princess

In addition to the regular craziness of life, plus leaving to go on vacation next week (and then leaving on a second vacation with the three kids by myself just 10 short days after returning), I'm also trying to plan Isabelle's 9th birthday party. Sigh.

How do you plan a birthday party for an only child with a brother and sister? With a full blown idea board, of course. She likes things in a "visual" format, so she can see how it's all going to come together. Fortunately (for me...and my wallet) I can DIY a lot of this myself (I think...besides, who needs to sleep?), and a friend is scoring me a super-sweet deal on the white tents. (Ha ha. I laughed as I typed that. I'm putting white tents up in my backyard for a 9 year old's birthday party! It's official, I've lost it.)

Did I sigh already? Yes? Okay, I'm doing it again. Sigh.

Party like a princess, folks. It's good to be Isabelle.
