Have you heard about Heidi Klum's new fashion line for kids?  As if she wasn't already rockin our worlds with her "Loved" and "Lavish" maternity lines.  She's at it again--this time with "Truly Scrumptious"--an adorable, fashionable, and fun line for bebes of all stages.  It debuts at Babies-R-Us in stores and online today.  Check out these cool duds:

Is it me or are there so many tempting deals on GroopDealz today?!  Check out these cool finds:

Part I of I'm not really sure how many. :)  This is by far the "biggest" party I've ever thrown and I've never gotten so many amazing photos at a birthday party before!  Before you start humming the song "your'e so vain," please note the photos I took were awful (I was moving at warp speed and it showed).  I'm totally bragging on this girl!  I'd be remiss if I didn't take a quick moment to thank Jordan Smelser of The Smelly Life.  I asked Jordan to "snap a few pics" and this girl takes like 1000 (and I'm only slightly exaggerating)! So here we go...

A little background: You might remember from this post the themes I tossed around in my head.  I even did some research on all three to be able to visualize them and help me make a decision (yes, I take this stuff seriously).  Well taking the time to research actually did help me make a decision...and I came back to the idea I was originally leaning toward (isn't that always the way?!), which was the circus theme.  I love elephants and had them on the brain since I am in the process (STILL) of re-designing Genevieve's toddler room with elephants as part of her decor.  I had a few cute items I wanted to use and the rest kind of slowly came together.

When I researched Circus Parties I saw a lot of red and blue.  Which I liked.  And I saw a lot of pink and yellow (probably because of the party I pictured in the aforementioned post), which I also liked.  But not one of them was perfect.  I really wanted something girly but still classic (and bold rather than pastel).  Hence my color scheme--red, aqua, and pink was born.  For some reason I can't help but add pink to like, everything (remember how I threw pink into this fall theme)?  Much like Genevieve's first birthday theme, I also liked the thought of using colors that I used in Nadia's nursery.  I was lucky that I had my fabulous sister in law design the paper products because it was hard to find just what I was looking for.

Ok so enough chatting for now.  Here are some photos of the fete.  I'll post more in the coming days and a source list (and maybe tutorials-not trying to make promises I can't keep!) eventually!

Ok, here's a little more than this cuteness, to feast your eyes on!  Although I have to apologize to those of you who are my "friends" on facebook, because you've probably already seen this shot.

Don't forget to click the image to enlarge it (or open in a new tab to enlarge it even more!)

I'll start by saying that Nadia's circus party was a success! It came together just as I had hoped (ok, well there were a few mishaps that I'm sure I won't be able to resist telling you eventually!) and was so fun!  It was also a ton of work...and there's still work that remains to be done, which is why I haven't posted anything just yet.  But I couldn't go another day without sharing just a tiny teaser of that awesome day!
