Loreen Allison Turns 1!

October 2008. I was an excited first-time mom with a lot of vague kiddie party ideas, a little time and a very small budget. This was the first time I had to source for suppliers, and the first time I had to budget for a kid's party. It was not as easy as I thought it was. Iba talaga when you are a first timer. A little reality check then-- Ulai, you only have this amount to spend, this number of days to prepare, and this number of things to meet. 

A week before the Allison's birthday, I was able to reserve a cake from Red Ribbon. At that time, we can still customize the colors and appliques. I was happy with how it turned out-- a cute red and yellow 2-layered fondant cake.

A few days before, I was able to reserve 50 seats at Pizza Hut SM City Dasmarinas and we were able to shop at Divi with the dad. We got candies, party poppers, small toys and a pinata. Two days before the event, I was able to book the clown. And the night before the party, I was able to diy a bolloon tower. :)

All accomplished to my satisfaction. LOL Mababaw lang naman ako eh :)
