Boots Bows & Beaches

Promise her anything but give her the beach, big bows & nice boots!

Magical 9th Unicorn Pool Party

April 15, 2018

Who doesn’t love unicorns right now? They are definitely all the rage in our household that is for sure! Since it is finally starting to warm up here in South Carolina, the only thing more fun than a unicorn birthday party is a unicorn POOL birthday party!

Unicorn Party

When Brynna told me she wanted her theme for her ninth birthday party to be a big magical party filled with all the unicorn goodness we could possibly find, I was thrilled! YES PLEASE! Let’s face it, I probably love unicorns as much as her so this has to be my favorite birthday party theme yet! One of the things that I love most about being a parent is throwing birthday parties that my kids will remember forever. Maybe I am known to go a little overboard on their birthday parties, and this one wasn’t any different. Heck it might be worse.

Pool Fun

Of course, no unicorn pool party is complete without actual pool time! Justice has the most magical pool floats we have ever seen! I didn’t plan any real activities so the pool floats were an awesome way for the kids to play and interact with each other, and not whine about being bored.

Brynna is obsessed with goggles. Legit we probably go through at least 5 pair every summer. Last year we discovered Splash Swim Goggles and never looked back. These goggles are by far our favorite, both girls’ love them and they don’t pull their hair which is a huge plus for us! And how perfect that we found one of their new designs just in time for her party! Unicorn themed of course! Fun pink, teal and purple print and lightly tinted purple lenses.

The Cake

Moving on the cake…I would argue that is the most important part of any party. This unicorn cake from Butter + Whisk is totally amazing. I was absolutely blown away by it, and so were all of the guests at the party. Plus it was absolutely delicious!

The cupcakes she made were equally as delicious and adorable. I was blown away by how gorgeous they were and they tasted as good as they looked!

Favors

Ok so rounding it out we can’t forget about party favors. I think these unicorn headbands from Justice are a perfect little favor for your guests. Brynna’s friends loved getting to dress the part for her party just like the birthday princess herself!

These magical unicorn mini piñata party favors from Krystal’s Piñatas were such a fun way to send home treats with the guests. How cute are these? I swear people are so darn creative….AND I LOVE IT!

Needless to say, our unicorn birthday party was a huge success! Watching all the kids running around and swimming with unicorn horns on and eating unicorn cake and cupcakes was perfect. We are so thankful for all our friends who came and made Brynna feel loved and special at her party! I really do love and appreciate all the little friends that she has found through her school and community. It sure did make my mama heart happy seeing them have fun together. And of course all our family that came out too.

I had so much fun planning this party, but there is truly nothing better than the look of pure joy and excitement on your child’s face because she got exactly the most magical party that she asked for and deserves.

Today you turn Nine.

April 13, 2018

This day is always bittersweet for me..one of the best and worst days of my life (many years apart) somehow are one day after another.

Nine years ago

Little did I know nine years ago you would come into our lives as a “surprise” and bring so much more. I lost your grandfather on April 14, 2001. Then 8 years later you came into my life a day before that. Unplanned, a huge surprise and actually your scheduled csection date was for April 24th. You never did like someone telling you what to do, even from the beginning. The joy of your birthday makes the pain of losing him a little bit easier. Everything truly does happen for a reason, this proves it.

Today you turn nine, and just like you always have you still continue to challenge me, delight me, and make me fall in love with you all over again, every single day.

They always say your second child is the hardest, and that couldn’t be any truer. I had no idea you would defy me at every available opportunity. I had no idea how much value I had placed on having a “good” child. (Your older sister made things a little too easy for us).

When our family was struggling with the car accident you were so brave. You had to deal with a lot, you were and always have been a very strong little girl. Hopefully those things will be but a forgotten memory. But watching you go through all the trauma at such a young age and still come out smiling shows the world just how amazing you truly are.

You have the most beautiful spirit inside your gorgeous little soul. You are so sweet, funny & I absolutely adore your spunky attitude. You are so much fun to be around (except days when the sass is too much for me to handle) those days just require more wine. Watching you grow up is both exciting and terrifying.

You are turning into such a lovely little lady and it is clear that you have so much to offer this world. There has always been something so special about you and you continue to prove it everyday. Never be a mean girl. Treat everyone with kindness and sincerity. You’re friends love you, always treat people the way you want to be treated.

But always remember even if you are 9, you are not too big to curl up in your mama’s lap for a cuddle. You are loved by so many people who want you to shine.

Your sister’s your best friend. (most days)

Your puppies are a close second.

Your Daddy, is your biggest protector.

And I’m your biggest cheerleader. Now and forever.

Happy 9th Birthday to our beautiful Brynna Paige.

Hi, I’m Jamie and I’m so happy you are here!

I started Boots Bows and Beaches a few years ago to share our craziness that is being married, working full time and of course being a mom of two teen girls.

Who knew I would learn so much and make such great friends while listening to country music and dealing with teenage hormones.
