Your-Not-So-Average -1-year-old Birthday Party // And I like it!

     Hello!  Go here: The Art of Simple to read about this woman who has some great not-so-status-quo 1 year old birthday party ideas.   The title of her blog says it all and I absolutely love the giving back portion in all her ideas.  I have had this overwhelming- at- times feeling that I need to have the most amazing birthday extravaganza for Riley in a couple months for her 1st birthday.  After reading this blog, I have realized that 1. Everything is about Jesus, 2. My daughter is amazing and I want her to look back and see that what I cared about was not the party favors or the invites, but the people and the way we loved her and everyone that came 3. We can have fun on a budget
