Tractor Themed Birthday Party

My 3 year old is obsessed with tractors. Anything to do with tractors. What did he want for his birthday? Tractors. What kind of cake did he want? Tractor. What's his favorite color? John Deere green (and yes, he actually said that).

So we had a tractor party! Now I am not a crafting person, nor do I cook or bake well, so simple is my thing. How do I create a tractor themed party, without doing (or spending) a lot? So I scoured the internet to see what I could find. Invitations are SO hard to find! At least free templates! All I wanted was to be able to find a template, and print off invites at like Walmart or Walgreen's. I couldn't find any that I liked! Solution? Create your own!

I found a picture of a John Deere tractor that I liked and created my own invite on Walmart's website. Then I was able to add in our party details, and walah! Done!

Next was the cake. Now, I don't like to bake and I'm not good at it, so I was looking for simple. Like definitely using a box mix somewhere. I was talking to a coworker and she suggested a cupcake cake! Simple I rearranged the cupcakes on a foam board (taped them down so they wouldn't slide) and whipped up two batches of cupcakes and rearranged them. Done and Done!

I also printed off some cute little John Deere logos and wrote on them for different food items. Like the lemonade was diesel, sweet tea was oil, rice crispy treats were hay bales, Oreo's were tractor tires and chex mix was silage. Easy enough!

For the decorations, I just got some green and yellow paper plates, napkins, utensils and cups to complete our John Deere themed party. I made a quick party banner with construction paper cut into triangles and attached to some string. The banner completed our look with "Happy Birthday Farmer Rocco!" on it! I even drew a little tractor in one of the spaces!

And what party wouldn't be complete without a pinata?  I found a super cute one on Amazon here and the kiddos loved it!

I'd say it was a successful party and I did it on the cheap! I love a good plan that comes together!

Fourth of July Festivities

Family. Friends. Food. Fireworks. The 4 "F's" of Independence Day. At least in our household. We loving have friends over for get-togethers; most are impromptu but when we can plan, we go all out. This year we had a quaint group of about 20 plus some kiddos and we sure had a blast! While the kids played in the pool, the adults were able to sit and relax and consume a few adult beverages. While I am particularly fond of the new crazed Hard Seltzer waters (my favorite here ), I do love when I am able to make sangria to enjoy. This year, I made a super easy patriotic themed sangria that was gone in under 30 minutes. What I love about this SUPER easy sangria recipe is how simple it is to make. It looks gorgeous, and with the density of the berries, it layers nicely. Not to mention it tastes great and it is really refreshing! We ended the evening with a spectacular fireworks show! We had purchased a slew of fireworks from a stand up in Indiana on our way back down ...
