Halloween Decor in the Kids Rooms

It's almost Halloween,  and other than the house being ready, I'm knee-deep busy preparing my Master Bedroom for the coming reveal! Hope you come by in a few days  to see how much progress I've made and still need to do!

Anyway, to go with the season, let me share with you my Kid's rooms for Halloween! Let's start of in Sophia's room.

For anyone new to the blog, Sophia is my 3 year old toddler, and because she is at that age, we still have her crib-turned-toddler bed as her main bed.

Added these cute skeleton banner above her bed and changed her bedding to simple black and white
dots. These were sewn by my MIL from the flat sheet of her WHIM bedding.

Nothing scary here

Across her bed is MY BED, I mean, the DAY BED

Added the old BOO banner on the window and again some pops of black and white on the bed

Here is the proud owner of this room all decked out in, of course, black and white.

Now let's head of to my middle son's bedroom. My teenager of course "Doesn't do Halloween" anymore. :-(

Nothing complicated, just simple Halloween decor to share to you all and of course, my kids to enjoy and feel the season more. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween!

Happy Trick or Treating!

Sophia's OTHER birthday party - Peppa Pig Party

Thank you for all your birthday greetings and comments on my daughter's birthday party! I hope you won't mind me sharing her "other" party today too!

We celebrated her Birthday party on Sept.30 so that a lot of our friends and family can come and join. But we also had a mini-celebration on her actual birthday a few days before! And since this little girl is into everything right now, her other favorite gang of characters is Peppa Pig, so I thought of putting up just that for her special day!

Ordinary store-bought cake which I decorated with her toys

Used some of the paper flowers on this day too!

Early morning surprise for the birthday girl

Used a lot of her toys for decoration

Sophia's favorite - chocolate pancake and strawberries!

I set it up for breakfast and lunch. As you can see, she was still in her nightgown when we sang her birthday song!

At lunch we had a few friends over....

With her friends

It truly was a a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY for our special girl!

Have a Great Week!

Sophia's Moana-themed 3rd Birthday Party

 Hello Friends!


We had a very busy but fun week celebrating my youngest daughter's 3rd birthday!

I will let the pictures do the talking since there are a lot to share, I had some help of course setting up everything a few days before the big day, but I'm proud to say I made most of the paper flowers ( in between patients)  and my cousin made the lettering and some of the other flowers here! Can't believe I would sew the flowers on the grass carpet turf too!

TA-DA!

Invite I chose from ETSY

Cake and Dessert Table

I got the table cover from TARGET on clearance

My baby looking at all the goodies

Brownie boats courtesy of my cousing, she also made the marshmallow topped cupcakes

The  Naked Cake was made by a friend of mine and I decorated the cake too!

I added "coconut trees" inside the gazebo

Just paper and balloons

Our backyard was transformed

A friend of ours lent us this stand and we just decorated away

We had Gulaman which is a Filipino Sweet drink

I wasn't able to take a good picture of the centerpieces but they were yellow balloons with leaves
and a Moana Balloon on top. Needless to say they wouldn't stay up because of the wind!

Some more party details - Lei's and flowers for everyone.
The loot bag was a Moana Back pack with goodies.

To welcome our guests

The Gift tag I added to the loot bags

My cousin made this Photo prop for the party and was a huge hit!

And of course we had lots of food...

Sushi Galore

We had Sukiyaki, Spring rolls, Chicken wings, Pork Barbecue, Pancit (Filipino String noodles), Baked Spaghetti and
Torta (Filipino Chiffon cake), and White rice of course - a Filipino Staple

For entertainment we had pool still open and warmed up for the party, the playground set...

Bounce house

Fire Dancer

Overall, the party was a huge success for everyone especially my little girl who bounced, swam, mingled and danced away.

Me with my little celebrant

Don't forget, the ORC starts this week so be sure to drop by!

Have a Great Week!

Past ORC Rooms - THEN & NOW

First of all, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your positive comments and compliments of my East vs. West Fall Home tour! I also appreciate all the positive thoughts and words of comfort for my recent personal issues. Words are powerful and it helps to know that I have a lot blogger friends out there who are supportive, I truly am grateful!

So today,  I want to walk a little bit down memory lane and talk about my past ORC rooms!

Ok, the next ONE ROOM CHALLENGE starts in a few weeks!

So I thought I'd revisit the past 3 ORC rooms I did and what they look like now.

1) TWEEN BOY BEDROOM - Fall 2013

It seems like yesterday when I first joined the ORC with my first born son's bedroom. He was only 13 y/o then and we wanted to fix his room up for our young man. Now he's a junior in HS applying for college and I just get a bit teary-eyed thinking he'll be living his room soon!!!

AFTER ORC

The same room NOW

We had to make the bed into a bunk bed again when we redid our other son's room, so we had to re-arrange everything in the space.

2) SAFARI GLAM NURSERY -  Spring 2015

For the 2nd time I joined, we did Sophia's nursery!  She was almost 1 year old when we did her room because as you may know, we combined her nursery initially with our Master Bedroom!

AFTER ORC

Nursery/Toddler Room NOW

Major change would be the crib into the bed. I also removed the juju hat and replaced it with a mirror, but overall, the room still works well for our young lady!


3) COMFY & STYLISH BOYS BEDROOM - Spring 2016

And for the very latest ORC room I did, it was for my middle child, who also like his brother, has become a Tween overnight! LOL!

AFTER ORC

This room has not changed much since my son still loves anything STAR WARS but he does have more Marvel and DC comic books in his book shelf than before.

I hope you can join me as I tackle the most important room in our house (for me)! Can you guess what it is?

I'll be very busy this coming week preparing for my daughter's 3rd birthday! Can you believe it?! I can't! We're having a "Moana Themed Hawaiian Party" so I'm super busy preparing for that! I hope to share it with you soon!

Have a Great weekend!
