Prime Time

 



I hope that all is well in your world. We had a picture-perfect day to celebrate Miss Lucy's first birthday.  Her backyard was a sea of pink with pretty tables, a baby bouncehouse which was a big hit, a well-stocked bar and a taco/quesadilla bar.




Nobody had any problem finding Lucy's house!






   

The Taco/Quesadilla Bar was fabulous!  Great food and service!  If you are in the Dallas area and want their details, email me.



Another first for Lucy... a bounce house!



Lucy's first smash cake!



Lucy was happy to share.
 


We need to do this more often!



A good time had by all!




I am joining Living on Cloud 9 and Doused in Pink  for their monthly Amazon party.  Bloggers gather to spill the beans on what they've been buying at Amazon.  I love reading everyone's entries.





Amazon

Millie's favorite bribes.





This is the only thing I found to solve Millie's tummy troubles.




For the plane.





Great little travel mirror.







I fell in love with this mirror in our cabin, so I ordered it as soon as I got home!
It's pricey, but worth every penny. 


 


I own about 3 white cardigans, but could not find them, so I ordered this one.  Good quality and a crisp white.  Lots of colors.

 





This is the first time that I brought a sound machine on vacation.  This one is very small and gave me a restful sleep while the Mister snored his head off.
 









I designated this bag for my pharmaceuticals.  I liked is so much, I ordered another one.





Wristbands for seasickness.
They worked! 





I packed this oil in case that vicious vertigo decided to bear its ugly head.
It didn't  - only smooth sailing for moi!




I also used these patches for the first few days of sailing.
Worked like a charm.





My favorite brand of eyelash curlers and tweezers.






I have no idea whether these work.  I will tell you that they are the best tasting gummies in the world.





I never go without Zicam on vacations.





Whenever I feel that first tickle in my throat I use Zicam.
It works. 





No matter how tired I am, I always have trouble sleeping the first night of vacation.  These take the edge off.




I was influenced to buy this spray oil.
It's fast absorbing and makes my skin soft.






This was a bust for me.  I applied it (I thought) evenly, but it looked like a blotchy mess.



I then ordered this sunless tanner remover.
I didn't even know they made such a thing but it did the trick.





I went back to my old standby.




I am so lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes, so I just buy new cheap ones.  These are great and a good bang for your buck.







A great size and perfect for vitamins.





These are great for travel and come in several colors.










I'll give you 3 chances to guess what song this cute little bear sings.  The best part - he tells the baby to blow out the candle and it goes out!

  4. Curious to know if you have serious motion sickness or it's something you get depending on the water, wind, etc? I have the serious kind and wear the bands but am wondering if I should try the patches. I don't cruise but we own a boat and sometimes if there's a lot of lake traffic I cannot handle even that. My hubs says there's not a form of transportation he's been on with me that I haven't been sick. It's super annoying even for me! Happy birthday to your little sweetheart!

  5. Those birthday party picks are so cute! I am the opposite; I always sleep so well that first night of vacation... usually because I don't sleep much the night before leaving and I'm just wiped out that first night.

  8. Oh my- Lucy is so adorable and that party looks fantastic. I love her little dress and all the details of the party. Great pics with her parents, too! I don't think I could handle good tasting gummy vitamins- I'd want to eat them all which probably wouldn't be a good idea!

  11. I enjoy reading your blog so much! Your first grandchild is just so precious. Seeing your daughter or son have their first child is just amazing. We now have 10 grands & love being with them & watching your own adult kids with them is indescribably wonderful. Enjoy them!

  22. Miss Lucy's romper is the prettiest and sweetest in all the world of baby clothes! #1 has the same gift for entertaining as you Katie, the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Not sure when Smash Cakes became a "thing" but I'm a huge fan! Give the bday girl some xoxo from KTG 🩷

    1. They've been around for a while, back in the day they were called mashed cakes. The only thing that could be added to a perfect party would be one of those rental clowns.

  26. Nice birthday party, reminds me of the big party the Kardashians had years ago for khloe's daughter True when she was a toddler. Good to start them young on the ways of elaborate celebrations.

  27. HI Katie,
    What a lovely party! Lucy is perhaps the prettiest baby I have ever seen, and as a former pediatric nurse, I have seen quite a few! Would you mind terribly sharing where her cute birthday girl suit came from? I have a niece about to turn one and it would be perfect for her. xo Sherry

What a party, I see that your helpers beautifully executed your vision down to the last detail, including ensuring the comfort of your adult guests with a lovely and thoughtful cocktail menu. Can't wait to see what you do for your second birthday! xo
