My Party Planning Obsession

When I started planning Jack's 1st birthday a few years ago I was so focused on making it the BEST 1st BIRTHDAY EVER! Every detail from invitaitons to decor to the menu. I was consummed. Microsoft Excel was my best friend- my family consitently mocks me for my overuse of Excel spreadsheets, but its the only way I can keep all the details in one place. The birthday planner was on the verge of overtaking the wedding planner. For some reason there's just so much anticipation around that first birthday- in my head I was setting the tone for birhtdays to come.

Three years after that party, I find myself in the mist of planning another 1st birhtday party....and nothing has changed! Ella's first birhtday is in 8 short weeks and I can't stop looking at all the ideas out there. I am determined to settle on an invitation within the next two days. Thankfully, I have my spreadsheet template from Jack's parties, so now its just about the details.
