Beautiful, insane, quirky and magical!  Eleven years ago today she arrived – the most amazing light at the end of a long dark tunnel after losing our first born.  

Her many faces say it all!  Here is a look back at ten – she has grown up so much in this past year.

Happy Birthday to our Sienna. Words do not describe our love for her.

We had a birthday in the house last week and with thanks to Emily from Emiko Blue we were able to celebrate with the prettiest of party bags and one very cute balloon.

Sofia turned 9 and asked to take her friends to Skyzone trampoline park here in Sydney.  In my usual attempts to make things a little prettier and girlier we stayed away from the traditional trampoline colours and were thrilled when Emily delivered to us the pretty pink and gold spot party bags and an Eat Cake balloon.

Liv from Jack + Hunter create a cake using the trampoline theme but in the pink, black and gold colours!  So perfect to add a bit more glamour to the party. 

I know a number of people have been searching for perfect online stores to pick up good quality products for their party ever since I closed down my online store and Emiko Blue is perfect for just this.  Emily really does have a beautiful array or high quality products that can be hard to find in Australia.

 To help celebrate Sofia’s birthday Emiko Blue are offering Sweet Style Readers a 20% discount on anything in the store.  All you need to do is enter the code SWEETSTYLE at checkout to receive your discount. This offer is valid until Friday 10th April.

So the latest party to take place in our house was back in June for Indi’s 4th Birthday and today I am excited to share with you the photos from her special day.

From the moment I saw these very cute invitations from Sarah of Style Me Gorgeous I knew one of our next parties in the house would revolve around the Sprinkles and Confetti Theme and the minute I suggested it to Indi she was hooked!

I had lots of fun dipping and sprinkling everything from bottles to marshmallows – lots of very simple food that was easy to eat for the kids with the special touch of the amazing cake and cookies by Hello Naomi.

As is now custom with our parties we keep the numbers small and intimate but have loads of special details that everyone gets to enjoy.  This party was no different with just 5 of Indi’s little pre-school friends coming along.  We had one of those horrific torrentially rainy days on Indi’s party day so I was a little thankful for the small numbers and our beautiful entertainer Phillipa from Fairy Fun who kept the girls completed mesmerised while they were here.  Phillipa has now been part of every one of my girls parties over the years and it was lovely to hear the party girls say to her at the end of the party “Please stay and play with us some more”!

Please enjoy the photos from Indi’s Birthday party – this list of suppliers is at the bottom of the post.

We celebrated another birthday in our house last weekend when my big girl Sienna turned 9!

No big fancy dessert table for this party as we took some of her lovely friends out to do some bowling on Sunday evening – nice and relaxed and easy.  We did however have a fun cake made by Cakes by Sharon and a very quick few photos (reluctantly may I say!) before we headed out!

Sharons cake was delicious – a vanilla mud cake with dark chocolate ganache – Yum!

Happy Birthday Sienna x
