This post is sponsored by Mondelēz International Group but all recipes and opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the fabulous brands that help us bring you fresh content daily! Something about spring makes me want to create fun, colorful and refreshing recipes to serve my family and guests for seasonal parties and celebrations! All the pretty flowers are beginning to bloom, and there's a buzz in the air with the butterflies and bugs flying around the garden...

Summer rhymes with outdoors fun, but also with nature. And inevitable, with little critters. Spiders, flying bugs and little crawlers...all offer the perfect birthday party theme for little boys who love nature.  And this Bug-tastic joint birthday by my talented friend Vivian Kerr from Kerr's Kreations is packed with amazing and inspiring ideas! I worked with Vivian for the bug inspired party printables, and am totally amazed by all the incredible details she incorporated into this fabulous party - from the food to the decor, the party activities and all in between. Scroll down to see check out the fun details as told by Vivian.

I had so much fun styling this party!  It gave me a chance to re-work our existing Pixie Fairy Designs from lilac to pink, and to create a simple yet charming kids birthday party! Usually it takes me a good four months to plan a party from scratch (mostly because I'm a control freak who loves to DIY all aspects from printable, to baking and photography...), but for this one I wanted to incorporate simple decor ideas and create a magical ambiance that anyone can pull together quickly and without much fuss . So check out the results, plus my super easy DIY party planning tips below - Oh, and the toadstool cake tutorial is also homemade, so watch out for a tutorial coming your way soon! ;)

Swoooooning over the details of this enchanting Pink Garden Party by Maja from Cantinho da Maja . The attention to details is just awesome, and I'm oh-so inspired by the multitude of ways that Maja has used our Pink Garden Party printables for this girly, pink and totally fabulous 1st Birthday Party!! Check out the stunning party photos and fun details below:

I have been meaning to post these photos for a loooong time now, but so many things have happened since the party (back in September) including a computer break down...that I only got the chance now! This was a butterfly and frog garden party themed celebration since my kiddos were born on the same day, two years apart! Not planned, juts one of those things ;) So it's a perfect birthday theme for twins also!

Last summer I was preparing my children's joint birthday Garden Party , scouring the internet for ideas, tutorials etc, and that was when I discovered the world of crafts. But most importantly, I discovered that I loved creating stuff with my own hands, and the instant gratification of seeing something I made bring smile to the faces of those I loved.
