Mila’s Flamingo First Birthday Party

Hey, friends! I'm FINALLY sharing all of the details of Mila's flamingo first birthday party! We celebrated her first birthday this August and I settled on a girly and summery flamingo theme!

So my home office ended up becoming the nursery! Knowing full well it was a pretty small space to work with, I had to create some diaper station essentials for a small space.

Our Entryway Makeover

Table | Basket | Throw | Boots | Flowers/Vase/Art all Home Goods Hi, friends! I'm a little embarrassed to say it took me years to finally get around to this entryway makeover, but I did it!
