Happy Birthday Lattemamma
by Sofia - in Party planning
Blogi täytti keksiviikkona jo viisi vuotta. Minä juhlistan sitä viikonloppuna leipomalla kuppikakkuja ja poksauttamalla pullon kuohuvaa! Kiitos kun olet ollut mukana tällä matkalla! ♥
Guess what?! On Wednesday my blog turned five years! I am celebrating this weekend by baking a whole lot of cupcakes. They are mostly for a charity bake sale but I´m also hosting a baking play date for some little girlfriend´s of ours. And I´m popping open a bottle of celebratory pink bubbles! Hope you have enjoyed the ride so far!
And thank you for being part of so many celebrations of my family! This is only a fraction of all the goodies I have baked during my blogging time. It is safe to say I am not a baking blog or a fabulous cake artists but I would like to think I am good at enjoying life. Doing things without being afraid to fail a little. Sometimes it looks like I have succeeded sometimes it´s just very home made and in my opinion lovely at that. Perfection is not reality anyway. Not all the time at least. Neither is happiness every single moment. It should not even be a goal. I prefer to aim for a little everyday magic. A lot of cuteness. A sprinkling of attitude & pride. And a whole lot of that kindness and gratefulness! You may realise we went from sugary baking to simple thoughts about life.

Birthday mornings
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Party planning
Birthday mornings are just very important in our house. Very very important. The whispered secrets, the planning of the breakfast, the tiptoeing to the kitchen the morning of. And then for the birthday girl the waiting in bed, squeezing her eyes shut waiting to hear the first verse of ” Happy Birthday To You”. The candles, the presents the kisses and the wishes. It is full on magic for all of us involved. It is my favourite thing about birthdays or other celebrations like Mother´s Day. It makes one feel extra special on their very own day from the beginning. Bubble Gum got toast & butter and eggs dyed pink. She got hot chocolate and she got a cake ( which we ate after dinner that night).
I apologise for the poor quality of my photos. It was pitch dark in the kitchen when I took these. Never the less I still wanted to share these with you.

Animal parade
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Party planning
This year Bubble Gum wanted her parties to be animal themed and so we did that for both her party for her pre-school friends and for the relatives & godparents at home later on. They were a little different in colour schemes etc. First up photos from the party in our home were we served Sunday lunch with some wine and then some sweets with coffee.
I set the lunch up in the kitchen.
