Barbie inspired birthday party

   Hi dear friends!!!  Today I'm writing this post to share with you my 4 yr old girl's Birthday Party!
   We began asking her about her wishes for her party about 4 months ago, and she was very very sure she wanted a Barbie Party.  Oh...  I wasn't very excited with the theme she chose; though I really LOVED Barbie when I was a little girl, I thought: "not yet!  She's still a baby!  She's supposed to like tea parties and teddy bears, right???".  Nope.  She wanted her party to be sparkly and fashionable.  Ok, so she was the birthday girl and I had to make her wish come true.
   The day came.  It was beautiful and sunny, but as usual I was running late.  Very very late.  Fortunately so were my guests!  That gave me a little more time to put everything together, but time is never enough!  I couldn't finish my dessert table.  SO SAD!!!!!  I bought a lot of ingredients for lots of sweets that I know everyone would've loved, but since I tried to do everything myself I failed to accomplish what I had in mind.  And with "everything", I mean EVERYTHING: decorations, favor bags {which I didn't take a picture of, duhhh!!!}, desserts, cake, kids activities and games, and even photography!  ...really too many things to be in charge of, and also trying to be a good host?  Not possible.  At least not for me.  Not yet.  But enough complaining.  I'm gonna try to show you now what I did like about the party.  The weather, the centerpieces, the cake, the favor bags {I don't have a picture of these, but I will try to get one!}, loved all the people who came, but what I liked the most It was seeing my little girl enjoy every part of this, since I started making the decorations, shopping, looking for her dress, making the cake and the actual party!  It was all worth it.  And I really thank GOD for making all this possible.  He always blesses us with a home full of people that we love and know they love us back! 
   Now that I made you read all this {you read it, right?}, I'm gonna show you the details!  I hope you like them!!!

A few words to start...


Welcome to my blog!  I am a very happy and loved daughter of God. He has blessed me with a very loving husband and two amazing kids {boy, 9, girl, 3}. And I love making things. All kinds of things. Every time I see something I like, I wonder how easy {or difficult} would it be to make it. My color, my taste, my way. I love art, food {specially desserts}, photography, painting, decorating, sewing, crafts, Mickey Mouse, legos, toys {and all things kids!}, and love clothes and shoes {don't we all girls???}!!! Most of the time it's been very satisfying putting to work the creativity God has given me, and I want to share all that with you. When I was a little girl my dad use to say that my motto was: "I build a bright house and I live in it". This blog is my attempt to explain what this phrase means to me.


Bienvenidos a mi blog!  Soy una feliz y amada hija de Dios.  Él me ha bendecido con un esposo que me ama y dos maravillosos hijos {niño, 9, niña 3}.
Y me encanta hacer cosas.  Todo tipo de cosas.  Cada vez que veo algo que me gusta, me pregunto qué tan fácil {o difícil} será hacerlo.  De mi color, a mi gusto, a mi manera.  Me encanta el arte, la comida {en especial los postres}, la fotografía, pintar, decorar, coser, manualidades, Mickey Mouse, legos, juguetes {y todo lo que sea de niños!}, y me encanta la ropa y los zapatos {qué no nos gustan a todas las mujeres???}!!!  La mayoría de las veces ha sido muy satisfactorio poner a trabajar la creatividad que Dios me ha dado, y quiero compartir con ustedes todo eso.  Cuando yo era chiquita mi papá me decía que mi lema era: "construyo una casa iluminada, y moro en ella".  Este blog es mi intento de explicar lo que esta frase significa para mí.

Meanwhile, I want to share with you a cake I recently made for my son's birthday.
Mientras, les comparto un pastel que hice para el cumpleaños de mi hijo.
