Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party

For my son's second birthday party, we used the Fire Engine theme since is the new obsession Jackson has shown toward any of his toys. He loves trucks and they make lots of noise, what else would make a tw0-year-old happy.

Our color scheme was red and black and utilized all of Jackson's firefighter toys as the decor as well as balloons to spice up the inside of our house.

For the cake we had a rainbow sherbert ice cream cake from Baskin and Robbins, which was the perfect treat for the hot summer day.

Handmade Invitations

Here is a collection of invitations that I created for various events.

Testimonial from Mother-To-Be

"Lori hosted my baby shower, and did a wonderful job. Everything from the decor and food to the diaper cake were amazing. Coming from across the state to celebrate the upcoming arrival of my baby, I knew Lori was the perfect person for this job. She took care of everything. The shower was lots of fun! Definitely a day to remember with great food, fun games, and amazing friends!"
