guest post

kristina over at my traveling troop (click for the link) is putting together some posts about military life at overseas locations. & i happen to be one of the guest posts about guam! she has a super cute blog that is a great resource for military families! check it out! & my friend pam from living in so-called paradise also has a post about guam there too!

great minds think alike

this is so funny i have to share! my friend & fellow guam blogger (click here for link) just posted about her plans for her little one's birthday & i wanted to jump on the bandwagon..... i'm also just super excited about planning it & plus i've totally fallen down the pintrest hole.... spending WAY too long on there. but there are so many great ideas i just can't wait to get to..... but have to mend this knee, get off the crutches & get back to guam for a bunch of them. but that doesn't mean the wheels aren't turning now. especially since i've seen my friends blog (& i honestly hope she doesn't think of me as one of those friends who is a copy cat - i think her party is totally gonna be way cooler than the one i plan, she's much more organized & more of an entertainer & party thrower than i am.... i just think it's cool we have the same kinda idea & that we both live somewhere where we can actually do this idea)

ok, so the idea is to have a beach themed birthday party in guam for lena! she's a december baby & i doubt there will be any other year it will make sense to have a beach themed birthday party for her. i was debating about actually having it at the beach, but not sure how i would keep the cake from melting all over the place, plus bugs & food are not always the best combo. so we might just have the party at our house & still have the beach theme. this is where my friend is inspiring me.... she has all kinds of cool ideas picked out (from pintrest!) for decorations, invitations & favors. & the farthest i've gotten is the actual location. so now i'm inspired to think about the details (& i promise not to steal any of her ideas!) pintrest here i come! :)
