Well my soon to be 5 year old wants everything! Every commercial for pooping dog toys I hear a, "I want that" or every infomercial for some strange Snackez container I hear a, "I want that mommy." I tell ya, kids these days...
When we run to Tarjay she likes to show me the certain toys she likes. I'm hearing things like, "can I have this for Christmas" in the middle of April. Seeing as her birthday is at the end of this month, what! I thought I'd share with y'all what we got her for the big 5! Its surreal to me that my baby girl is growing up so quickly. Where is that dang pause button?!
She has a little kitchenette in her room that she got for Christmas a couple years ago, but its definitely seen better days. The oven burners are all worn off. The oven door was completely broken off a few months ago, my girls are great at rough housin'! So I mentioned a while back a new kitchen would be nice and she went over the moon for the idea. Hopefully she still feels that way when she sees her new Sundae Kitchen from Zulily. This one is bigger and better and I'm pretty sure she'll be baking her heart out!
I decided to stay on the cooking path and picked up this Smoothie Set, also from Zulily. Amira is obsessed with fake food, and pretending to cook. When ever anyone comes over to the house, such as Mario's friends or my friends she asks them first off if they'd like to see her room <3 This online shopping site is a good place for moms to get in trouble ;) I love all these wooden toys and the pretty pastel colors they use. Makes me want to go whip up a fresh smoothie myself!
I picked up a few odds and ends of clothing items she needs, like jammies and Summery clothes but those are less on the exciting scale to her. I will say it again that time is flying by with my little ones. Turning 5 is such a big deal, like a kiddie right of passage. Amira is, and always will be my baby girl. Despite the fact she keeps telling me, "mommy, I'm a big girl now" with her big baby blues looking up at me. You know the look.

Baby Gia's 2nd Birthday Celebration!
We have a TWO year old! Since my little nuggets birthday was last Monday I decided to have a quaint party for her on Saturday. I'm already feeling the guilt of not inviting 37 people but our house is just not cut out for that. Plus, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy Gia's day, and that is what it is all about!
Having a birthday so close to Christmas, I tried making her day and week as special and festive as I could. I put away the Christmas garlands and hung her special pink and blue ombre hearts. I puffed up some poms, which was harder than I thought it would be! She would barely keep on the glittery crown, but none the less she was adorable! Trying not to go overboard with pink can be a challenge so I added in blues and her favorite yellow guy, Sponge Bob! Daddy bought her some balloons but she was terrified. We had to keep them in the bathroom shower, haha.
My husband even wrote on the chalkboard, talk about sweetness. Yes, wrapped around the finger...
On the menu, I made a spicy honey ham and homemade macaroni and cheese. You cant go wrong there! I always order the girls birthday cakes. It can be a bit overwhelming trying to do everything. I did bake up some cupcakes and found these cute Sponge Bob toppers.
So once again Miss Gia was able to have some birthday cake and blow out candles. She had to huff and puff pretty hard, I didn't realize putting two candles not that close together would be so difficult. Oppsy!
Gia Christina Scarsella, you are such a growing wonder. We love you so very much! Words could not fully express the deep and overwhelming feeling of adornment and love I have for you. You have made our lives so complete.
Thank you for reading. Much love, Linzi
My other little nugget flaring some serious nostril, and favorite cousins.
