Birthday Madness and a freebie

My handsome boy is going to be turning 3 in a month now! 

I realized in a panic that I had only a month to pull a homemade birthday out of my back pocket yesterday and let's just say I am a planner when it comes to parties. Yes you will receive a birthday invitation a month before hand. Yes I will go order his cake a month before hand. I will also probably have all the non-perishable snacks ready by next week. 

Better to be prepared.

My son LOVES monsters. We progressed last September out of his "I am a dog or cat" all the time phase into his "I am a monster" all the time phase. He loves being a monster so much that I had to sit for hours cutting out duct tape stripes and polka dots (not an easy feat) to make him a monster costume for halloween. 

He informed me then that he wanted a monster birthday. So I whipped up (translated sat there for an hour glued to the monitor trying to make this invite perfect) a monster invitation for his approval. 

"Mommy I LOVE IT" (thank you! THANK YOU THANK YOU!)

The invitation will be available in our Lane34 Greetings and Party supplies etsy store later this week. 

I also made him some monster smiles that we are going to add to Popsicle sticks for some cute photo moments for all the kids, and in all honesty probably most of the adults.

Time for this momma to get back to birthday planning! I hope everyone has a great new year!

Love is Louder

Today I am going to share a favorite blogger and a great project.

I am not sure how many of your are familiar with Dan Pearce over at Single Dad Laughing. I ran across his blog about a year or ago and have been an avid reader ever since. My friends that know me well, will most likely tell you that besides my guilty pleasure, Rants from Mommyland, I tend to stick to pinterest and craft blogs. To find a blog that is not crafty, let alone a blog written by a dad,  that I can not only relate to but enjoy reading is a rare experience for me. 

SDL is honest and funny. He seems to truly care about what his readers think and say and when Dan recently came out to the world about his sexuality  in a public manner it touched my heart. I think just about everyone has been put in a position where they had a big secret they felt that they could not tell anyone. Something that confuses them and makes them re-think their world. Not many of us have the courage to tell people we love let alone the courage to tell the world in a blog with thousands of readers. 

A day or so later Dan wrote a post about the "outpouring of love" he received in his darkest hour, and included a little tidbit about a project called Love Is Louder. After learning more about the Love is Louder project I was inspired. Love is louder is all about getting through the tough times. Whether is be a break up, financial hardship, abuse, coming out of the closet, bullying, etc... It is just there for a short time. It is a circumstance to get through and makes you that much stronger! 

Folks write love is louder on their hands and post pictures with their stories for inspiration to other people. But not everyone can walk around with Love is Louder on their hand all the time. Sometimes you just need a daily reminder hanging there on your mirror or on your wall. 

"Love is Louder was started by The Jed Foundation, MTV and Brittany Snow to support anyone feeling mistreated, misunderstood or alone. " -http://loveislouder.com

If you haven't heard of Love is Louder than you should follow the link above and read up on it. It is an amazing project. 

Don't ever doubt your worth.
