Birthday parties are always fun aren't they??  Even as the planner, they can be a trip back into memory lane! I loved legos growing up and I am thrilled my daughter enjoys them as much as I did.  The one thing I love that she has though is a "girl" version of the legos.  They are so cute!  Even their hair and outfits are adorable!

For her birthday she decided she wanted a lego friends birthday party!  So I did what any simple mom would do...I scanned Pinterest!  And of course found some amazing ideas.  There were a few we did on our own.  But, the pictures speak for all the fun we had!


These bags were a great idea from this blogger!  She did a great job detailing some other fun ideas too!



I found a wonderful lady on etsy to make the invitations and the thank you notes!  Unfortunately, her shop is no longer available, otherwise I would link you there!  But there are plenty of other great ideas there!  They simply customized it for my daughter and I printed them out myself with the download they provided!  So cute and simple!


Besides some delicious food meant for friends!  The girls made hair clips out of four dot lego bricks (we chose white, pink and purple) then I hot glued them on some clips found at Hobby Lobby.  I found little flower pieces, or butterflies, whatever small pieces I could find (mostly leftovers from kits we had bought) and put them in containers, and each girl designed 2 of their own hair clips.  The bows I made by hand with a simple single lego in each of the centers.  At the end of the party each girl got to pick out their own hair bow to put in their lego party bag.

The food was simple too...pink and purple cupcakes, and lego shaped krispy treats using Easter colored M&Ms.

We watched a Lego Friends short video, opened presents and then played Lego Friends Bingo provided by another Etsy friend who custom made this as well!  Click Here is her shop she has more bingo themed ideas!

The girls had a blast!  It was all at home, not too much work, and didn't break the bank!

It doesn't have to be a birthday to enjoy some of these activities! Invite some friends over and just do one of them!

Once we moved into our house, I really wanted to have a bench that went with our casual dining table.  I have kids, and my kids have friends, and it seemed that I could fit more butts on a bench than a chair.  After researching many benches, they all seemed either too expensive, or they just didn't fit with what I had in my mind.  
Then one day after Christmas I was watching the guys at Home Depot put away these palettes and I thought to myself "those hold a ton of weight!"  My "A-Ha Moment" is what you see here.  A bench!  My kids absolutely love it and I can literally fit about 5 sometimes 6 tiny butts on it!  It was also simple and inexpensive.  But, it does take some TLC and Time.  
While doing this project, I wondered how many other furniture items could be made with palettes?  I would love to know what you have made with palettes.  Comment below and tell me. 

If you like the idea please pin it!  Let's fill some homes with some great palette ideas!
