Is It June Already?

The month of May was a chaotic month for me. I don't think I travelled as much as I did this past May. I counted up the days that I was hope and it was less than 13 total days. That is usual for me but with some classes I was teaching, heading to Asia to finalize our tradeshow products and the Memorial Service for my dad, I was packing and unpacking suitcases all month.

And now June is here (and almost gone) as we settle into Summer and gear up for our tradeshow in July and I am preparing for my son's birthday party this weekend. My dear son turned 6 not too long ago and at his request, we are having an Angry Birds Space Party. Last year, Noah asked me to do an Angry Birds party for him and I spent a of time sewing some fun Angry Birds for Noah and his friends. Here he is posing with some that we ended up using for an invite last year:

And Noah still to this day sleeps with the entire set of Angry Birds I made him. 

Of course this year with the new Angry Birds Space release, Noah decided he wanted us to do an ABS theme for his party. And lucky for me, they had changed the birds enough so that I couldn't really reuse what I had for his party last year (birds were different colors, etc) so I decided we would do some things different this year.

We went to the Angry Birds Space website and printed off each of the birds and then laminated the pictures. These will be used around the table for his theme:

We also printed off some coloring sheets so kids can color and we will have a little laminator so they can make some ABS placemats to take home.

We also made a bunch of ABS baskets for all the food:

And then we made lots of cups for each of Noah's friends:

I cut the birds out of self adhesive vinyl to decorate each cup. Each friend will leave with a little cup, pencils and an egg goodie.

And my little gal insisted that she needed a pinkie bird cup and the bird had to be pink so I made her this special one (and for some reason she insisted the tail be where it is):

I finished up the cups this past weekend and the menu is planned. I will share more photos as soon as we finish the party.

With my travel schedule, I kept it more simple this year but with lots of fun things still. We are going to have an amazing time celebrating Noah's fun day. I cannot wait. Neither can Noah and that is what it is all about.

That is such an good idea!! My little girl is too young to really have such specific requests for her B-day but it won't be too long before she will ask for theme parties aswell. Lovely idea! Have a fun day and enjoy, they grow up way to fast!

Hi,
I'd like to inquire about doing a sponsored blog post - about 150-300 words that talks a little bit about cars and automobiles and links back to our site http://www.nissanofsanbernardino.com. We are a car dealership and thought we might be a good fit for your readers/visitors on http://mayaroad.typepad.com.

Here's a list of some blog post titles we've done in the past:
- What To Look For When Buying A New Car
- 2012 Cars That Look Good And Saves You Gas
- Reasons Why Buying New Cars Is Better Than Used

Our budget is around $15 for the post. Is this something you'd be open to?

Also if you have some other sites just send them over and we might be interested in doing a sponsored post on there as well!

Regards,

Vanessa
