My baby offically turned one a couple of weeks ago. If I didn't have all the photos to prove it, I would protest that it just isn’t so! Being a summer baby, we knew we’d be celebrating outdoors. I wanted to have a jungle theme but with certain restraints, I couldn’t feature any real plants into the decor. So instead, I used some polyester and parchment leaves that I found online. Once I decided that gold was going to be the accent colour, I knew that I had to have the mylar “ONE” letter ballons from Oh Shiny Paper Co. and the mylar “1" cake topper with a mini 'M' from Cindy Confetti Sparkle Party Shop.  The “1" and “M" piñatas I made, using a recycled daiper box, tissue, and foil paper. The jar favors were simply little safari animals glue-gunned to the lids and finished with some gold spray paint. All of these, were made with helpful tips and tutorials from Pinterest. The personalized initial name tags and gold party hat were all made using my Cricut Expression. Finished off with a cake, Oreo sprinkle pops, rice krispy squares, and some chocolate-dipped marshmallows, the birthday stage was set! 

While he may not remember his first birthday, I wanted Mason to be able to look back on it and see just how much fun we had!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
