Emilia’s Unicorn Themed First Birthday Party

Unicorn themed girls first birthday party.

This past week we celebrated Emilia turning one year old by throwing her a unicorn themed first birthday party. We didn’t want to throw a huge party but we knew we wanted to do something to celebrate. We decided to host a small get together and invited the kids from her Sunday school class (along with their parents and siblings) to our home for dessert.

Since Emilia is my first child, I’ve actually never hosted a kids birthday party before. Because of this, I definitely had to do a bit of research about how to throw a one year old birthday party first. What makes a first birthday party tricky is that you are essentially throwing a party that is just as much for the adults as it is for the kids. Truthfully, your one year old will never remember her first birthday party but it’s still so fun to celebrate this huge milestone.

So now that Emilia’s first birthday party is over, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about how to throw a first birthday party for your little one. Here are 5 tips for throwing an amazing first birthday party.

The best flatlay props for bloggers and Instagrammers

written by Jennifer Ashley

I know you all loved my guide for how to take flatlay photos so I’ve created part 2 to that guide. Every flatlay photo needs to tell a story and in order to do that you’ll need a few props. Today I’m sharing all my favourite props to include in flatlay photos. Of course, depending on the type of photography you want to create, there may be additional props you’d specifically want to invest in. For example if you are a food blogger I would recommend also adding a collection of beautiful plates and utensils. But for general lifestyle photography these are the items I reach for the most when creating beautiful flatlay photos for my Instagram.

Here are my recommendations for the best flatlay props for styling beautiful Instagram photos.

Three Places Every Traveller Must Visit (+ how to book your trip!)

written by Jennifer Ashley

Like most travellers, I have favourite places that I have visited. Of all the countries I have traveled to there are a few special places that have left an extra strong impression on me. These three cities and towns are places that I would travel back to in a heartbeat and I believe every traveller needs to add to their travel bucket list.

Now, before I chat more about these three amazing places, I wanted to share a bit about a great travel booking tool. When booking vacations, I always try to spend my money wisely and save money when I can. Of course one of the best ways to do this is by redeeming miles – which is why I’m excited about Aeroplan’s travel booking tool.

Cute loungewear ideas // What to wear around home

written by Jennifer Ashley

Loungewear ideas for women // 4 essential for clothing to wear at home.

Like most people, my wardrobe has gone through several major shifts as my lifestyle has changed. From wearing tailored blazers when I was a real estate agent to stocking my closet with trendy seasonal pieces as a fashion blogger each new phase of life has come with wardrobe changes. Now as a mom, this phase of life is filled with mornings at home baking muffins and cuddling with my baby girl. Of course even though I’m at home most days I still want to look and feel my best.

Some days it’s tempting to just stay in my pyjamas all day long. Of course the few times I’ve done this I’ve ended up needing to sign for unexpected packages at my front door (does this seem to always happen to anyone else?!). Loungewear is definitely an important necessity in any woman’s wardrobe and today I’m sharing the essential loungewear pieces that every woman should have in their wardrobe. Clothing that is comfortable, easy to wear and still cute!

Here are 4 loungewear essentials to add you your wardrobe to help you feel pretty and put together for days at home.
