NaBloPoMo Day 14: Fairy-Princess-Ballerinas
I've always had a hatred strong dislike for the colour pink. I loathed girlie things. I boycotted all things fairy, princess, and ballerina.
Until I had a daughter.
For some reason, almost all of her clothing items are PINK! It wasn't by choice. It just sort of happened. Despite mypleading requests, friends and family kept giving her pink things! It turns out that the kid looks pretty cute in pink. Plus, now that pink is "the" colour of Breast Cancer Awareness, how can I hate pink??? I think I love pink now.
Little One just turned 2 on Remembrance Day and we had her 2nd Birthday party yesterday. It was a girls only party. Normally, I wouldn't segregate or discriminate the sexes (I don't feel it's right to do so), but I was just too tired to have a HUGE party with ALL the kids.
It was a fairy-princess-ballerina tutu party. All the little girls came in tutus and I had tiaras for each of them. We had Tinkerbell decorations and the loot bags were all Tinkerbell inspired. The pièce de résistance was the stunning birthday cake made by my gorgeous and talented friend, Maria.
Every princess-fairy-ballerina's dream cake: Sparkly butterflies and pretty flowers.
Birthday pics will be posted sometime this week!

About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

Canine:
Thanks! :) She did LO's baptism cake, 1st birthday cake, a stag and doe cake, and LO's 2nd birthday cake for us!
Sounds like a wonderful 2nd birthday. I can't wait to see the pictures. I also can't believe that I've been reading your blog for two years Wow!
Peace!
wow that is SOME cake !!! and pink is such a pretty color- how could anyone hate it?!!?
Barbara:
:) I can't believe it's been 2 years already!!! So glad our paths have crossed. How did we find each other's blogs anyway? I can't remember!!
Dina:
It was a really good cake too!! Yum!
I know, I know...Pink is a pretty colour. I think I always hated it as a kid because I was always FORCED to wear it. My Mom and her sisters always wanted me to wear pink dresses. Being the stubborn, head-strong kid I was (Hubby will tell you I still am!), I refused to wear pink! LOL! Now, I think it's pretty. I don't really have anything pink of my own though! Little One's wardrobe contains 99% pink outfits. LOL!
