what a great idea for a party! You have thought about every single details. I love the jars with “mud and worms”, they are so realistic. Your daughter looks so happy in all the photos.replycancel

  Thanks, Joanna. Good to hear from you again! I have missed your blog posts!! Shortly after this birthday, we moved to Italy. I can’t believe we made it happen – she was so happy!replycancel

Too cute! What an incredible party! I hope Kate had a wonderful birthday. My kids used to love Peppa Pig when they were small. replycancel

  I must confess: I watch Peppa Pig episodes on YouTube even when kids are not home! In Italy, near Verona, there is an amusement park called Gardaland. They recently opened up a Peppa Pig Land with Peppa’s house and everything. I think I was more excited to go in her house than the kids there!replycancel

PAINTING EASTER EGGS WITH KIDS!

{published on april 17, 2019} i set up our acrylic paints and brushes to decorate our white plastic eggs + paper mâché eggs in my favorite room in our house: our sunroom! this little room is so darling – it has six large windows on two walls that let plenty of sunshine in and a pair of pretty white french doors on the third wall that connects to our living room…

Oh I would so love to do this with my nephew. He’s a little young but I think he’d have fun nonetheless!replycancel
- Tammy // GREY MOSS.April 17, 2019 - 8:42 am
  
  Awww! I think so too! Although I would make these even if I didn’t have kids! 😁👍replycancel
Amber MyersApril 17, 2019 - 8:20 am

My kids would love to do something like this. They are all about painting. We’d do this outside though, because I’d picture the paint all over the house. replycancel
- Tammy // GREY MOSS.April 17, 2019 - 8:45 am
  
  You are a riot, Amber! Yes, probably a good idea so we can save your sanity!! Surprisingly, we did not get any paint on their clothes. I didn’t put aprons on them cause I was too lazy to drag them out. SO, I’d say MAYBE they are less messy than dyeing???! replycancel

  You know, it’s a bit rare that I let them use “real adult mama” paint, so they were even more excited than usual! 😆replycancel
