Party Time

By Leave a Comment

 Hudson’s party was a success! I couldn’t of asked for a better party and a happier birthday boy. The game trailer was a hit! 22 controllers for various xbox games, lazer tag and virtual reality the kids went NUTS! The only flaw of the entire party was instead of a Mario Kart ice cream cake they did a red cake lol but it was still yummy so not really a flaw. But there was one major flaw, we forgot to invite one of Hudsons friends ugh I feel terrible!!!! SO much was going on I didn’t notice until I went to bed and was like “so and so didn’t come” and then I saw that his invite was in my mini van the next morning on the way to church. Worst feeling ever.

I also thought before I went to bed about Hudsons very first birthday party it was one of my first blog posts ever, back when I had to manually code the size of my photos and even then they weren’t all the same size.

That is if the kids in Hudson’s class gave their invites to their parents 🙂 We literally filled out the invites in the schools parking lot and handed them out as the kids got onto the busses -as seen on ig stories.

For those wondering about the cute T-Swift song I played on my stories I shared it below. Have a great Saturday.

Wake Me When Its Friday

By Leave a Comment

Going from doing nothing to doing everything this week had me literally face down in waffles.

And to top it off in 24 hrs I’ll be throwing a huge birthday bash, that was just decided and planned yesterday. Today we are starting with getting birthday invitations so Hudson can pass them out at school. Then Holland has kindergarten assessments. After school well go pick out the cake, get the decor and then celebrate that its finally Friday !!!!!

Ps I can’t wait to show Hudson, his friends, our cousins, and even you guys what we have up our sleeve for mr. Hudsons party.

The reason his bday is so thrown together and last min. is because the weekend of his actual birthday is Labor Day, and nobody can compete with that. We were talking yesterday and came to the conclusion if Hudson wants friends at his party we need to pull this off by Saturday otherwise its not going to happen.

So, wish us luck!!! And have a great weekend.

Dub Tap

pink coca cola tee shirt (target) / zipper faux leather leggings (similar) / cuff ankle heels (vince camuto) / acid wash denim jacket (target)

Started the day bright and early wondering what I should wear today. And then it dawned on me, my pink coca cola tee could totally “dub tapped” today as both a pajama tee and a shirt I can wear to my meetings. – cue light bulb

And, I have to say, it worked perfectly. I also have to make a quick mention of my acid wash boyfriend denim jacket, its my new around the waist go-to. I am such a lover of affordable fun clothes. I also believe in good solid basics, sorry babes for direct links on my shoes they are oldies but goodies along with my faux leather leggings with exposed zippers. But I went ahead and added similar choices as well.

Today when I sat down with Rewardstyle I wondered how do my readers prefer knowing where items are from? Do you shop via instagram with like.it.to.know.it. or swipe ups? Do you prefer a written out text on my blog or a scroll widget on the bottom of my posts? Or do you really care at all LOL!

If you do have a preference please let me know 🙂

Goodbye Hudson Lewis

By 3 Comments

seasons change; as do priorities …..

Today we said goodbye to our Hudson as he went off to full day school. My eyes saw a handsome young boy with a sharp looking haircut wave at me as he ran into the school yard with his peers, but my heart saw a little boy with his “boo” over his shoulder in onsie pajamies.

Full disclosure my heart is shattered by recent and current events !!!

Im scrambling at where my little boy and his dog have gone.

I remember when I was coming home from my trip, on one hand I had a lot of people/strangers upset at me and on the other, I had my family who was literally cheering for me that I was coming home.

On the plane ride home I watched the movie “Goodbye Christopher Robin” and found myself doing a whole life assessment.

I couldn’t help relate my Hudson to Christopher Robin. Before I started documenting my childrens life it was just Hudson & I, and Hudson and his dog. I hired photographers and web developers because I knew he was something great. My blog was actually titled “Hudson alamode” in the beginning.

In the movie young Christopher says “my childhood was great, it was the growing up part that was hard”. And then he blamed his father for writing a story about him and not a book for him.

My top priority is to give my children a great, no an exceptional life! I want them knowing that they are and will always be my number one top priority!

So here’s my promise to you my dear sweet children, Birdalamode is still part of us and perhaps it will always be, we are going to keep documenting as long as we are having fun. You only get one childhood and we are going to make everyday count. It goes far too quick if you ask me. – far too quick indeed.

Good luck today my dear Hudson. Mommy sure loves you with all her heart! For you see you and me share something no one else in our family shares. For a short moment there was only you, no siblings, no blog or IG, you were the only thing I put my energy into and I never regret a second of it. And with this new school year I promise to make this year about you and your needs I want you to always know I will be here for you.
