Lovely as a Ladybug

This Lovely as a Ladybug party for little Maariyah was a joint party with her brother's Lego party in the previous post.  I knew that I definitely did not want the party to have the typical red and black dotty colour scheme you see all over the internet. So we added lotsa garden elements, bright pinks & bits of sparkly golds. This is how it turned out.

Let's Build!

Would you believe that this Lego party (a joint party with our Ladybug party we'll be posting soon) was just two days after my own kids joint party. Thinking about it now is stressing me out! And no, I don't know how i did it, but I did and I'm so glad I did as I now have these beautiful pictures to share with you all. We gave the popular Lego theme a clean crisp look with pops of bright colours. 





























































We imported these handmade Lego Men crayons and used them as the party favours. 








We love these Lego kirigami (the art of cutting paper as opposed to origami which involves solely folding paper) guys we used as the bunting.

Baby Hope House

On my kids birthday invites (Yusuf's at the back of his fold-over design) we asked guests to bring along a gift for the babies at Baby Hope House. I heard about Sonia and Lynne and the work they are doing for abandoned babies on the radio a year or so back. I remember being especially impressed that they are round the clock care givers to the babies, even doing night feeds themselves. They offer a safe house for abandoned babies until they are adopted, with most of them finding placement with families overseas. I was excited at the opportunity to help out their organisation. Guests were amazingly generous with their donations, pictured below. 

We went over to visit Hope House a few months back when we delivered all the donated baby items. The ladies were most grateful. We gifted Sonia and Lynne beautiful Africa pendants from Ziba Styles (100% of the proceeds from these necklaces sold by Ziba went to the Xenophobia crisis) as a little thank you for all they are doing for our African babies. 
May the world be blessed with more beautiful ladies like these two. 













Excuse Yara's bonnet, it was an extremely cold day so we wrapped this strawberry up real warm.



A huge thank you to all our guests who generously donated to our collection for Baby Hope House. For info on BHH or to find out how you can donate, please visit their website by clicking here.

Much Love,
