Namaste Friends,
Amaya recently turned 3! more like a threeanger to be quite honest. She is so verbal and knows what she wants at such a young age, I hope she becomes CEO one day with all that sass in her.. NO PRESSURE AMAYA! Ha! jk..
She has been wanting a mermaid party since the beginning of the year. If you asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she would answer “Mermaid party, because I want pink hair”. I knew eventually she would change her mind and she did after she watched Moana. I mean of all the princesses she can pick from, I was so glad she picked Moana. Moana is strong and she fights for what she believes in. Qualities that I see in Amaya already. I guess the sass level at times can go a little down, but it’s ok. I have to let her be her. Anyways, the party ended up being a little stressful to be quite honest.
A week before, we had a death in the family and then after taking a few days off I went back to work with a big launch and didn’t really have time to prep for her little party as much as I would like. It ended up being fun either way, but I think the decor came out the best it could for the time I had. I had purchased everything from Amazon a month prior. I had a vision in my head and I think for the most part it executed the way I wanted it too. I did not look at Pinterest, these were just all in my head. I try not to skew my creativity. I just let it sort of come my way. And most times it does. 🙂
The best part about the party is honestly how much joy it brought to Amaya. There was only 8 kids, half were immediate family kids. I honestly am not a fan of big birthday parties, they give me anxiety. More on that part of me later. Below are some pictures from the party and links to everything I bought for her party. Hope you find some inspiration to throw your little boy or girl a Moana themed party!
