hey guys welcome back to my channel so
Julien is turning 1 this month and we
are having a birthday party for him
tomorrow on Saturday it's a couple weeks
early because we're here in Michigan we
want all of our friends and family to
celebrate with us here's my confidence
no yeah but I did a little Instagram
story telling you guys how I was kind of
prepping and planning it's a Mickey
Mouse themed party he's turning 1 and I
got an overwhelming response that you
guys would love to see a video basically
just sharing how I'm setting up the
party kind of like the food decor all
that just to get some good in spell if
you're planning a Mickey Mouse birthday
you will be vlogging it yeah but this is
just more of the party prep all that so
I've seen people do these awesome cheese
boards my mom's really good at them so
she told me like a list of what to get
she's actually at our house watching
Julianne right now so I'm gonna go get
all these things I'm here at Whole Foods
and it's probably gonna cost me an arm
and leg to buy all these like fancy
cheeses from here what because I just
feel like fancy cheese you know it's
like so expensive are we gonna fancy
cheese well I'm not gonna get like
slices of cheddar so we're gonna do like
a cute and good cheese board for all the
adults and then we're also doing pizza
so that will just like pick up tomorrow
and then we're gonna get drinks in here
and stuff like that so we're gonna get a
kind of an array let's go in
[Music]
I got all the goods from Whole Foods and
it wasn't too bad we also got dog foods
that kind of added up our total but now
I'm gonna go to probably Target and get
wrapping paper for his presents I'm
gonna get like Little Red Solo cups
they're actually think it'll be cute
because they're kind of like red the
party's already white and black so that
kind of goes with the theme and I'm also
gonna get just like Coke and pop and
stuff like that they're to have four
drinks for everyone I don't like to get
stuff like that Whole Foods cuz I just
feel like first of all they don't even
have Coke there and second of all why
waste money on things like that so
Julian loves that eco but he doesn't
what everybody else does it's also gonna
be really hard you guys know I've been
doing no dairy or gluten to be all
what's hidden like just do all this and
not have a bite of his cake I wasn't
planning on it but I am gonna make a
gluten and dairy free cupcake so I will
show you guys that in this video too so
you guys know I've been trying to do a
little bit of a different diet lately so
I'm making these for myself and also my
really likes them so if anybody wants
them there are these simple Mills
chocolate cupcakes these are the
ingredients so super good ingredients
they taste amazing
and I also love the frosting that goes
with it so I'm gonna be making these and
then I will show you guys everything
else in the morning
don't tell anybody I'm having one before
hey guys so it is the next day I am
literally in the middle of doing my
makeup I have like foundation on my lips
my eyelashes are all wonky but you can
see my hair so I think it's really cute
we just did some lowlights and we toned
my highlights so it'll probably get
lighter the next couple times I wash it
but I wanted to go darker and a little
bit shorter this is all my natural hair
so I'm really liking it but I do want to
get like the rest of my makeup on so
it's 11:15 Julian's party is at 10:30 or
12:30 and me you can probably see him
back there
eating his awful he woke up super late
this wine which was actually really nice
because I got to do the dishes and clean
the house up so that is like the most
important part it's just you know
getting your house in order and I feel
like as long as you do that and you have
food and drinks for everyone the rest is
not that big of a deal but I enjoy doing
stuff like this and then it gives me
something to film for you guys so what
I'm gonna do now is show you everything
that I bought yesterday and then I'm
gonna set it all up so Michael went to
Julian fabrics and bought me this craft
paper it's like a light brown color and
I'm gonna lay it across my counter and
use this as like my tray
I saw Marina McEvoy do it on Instagram
and it looked so cute and it just looked
like so like plush and it was like so
much food it looked awesome so and you
guys should definitely follow her she
has like the best fashion and beauty
stuff but I got the idea from her so I'm
gonna lay it down and fill it up with
the food but first I'll show you what
food I got so here's the food spread
I've got some apples grapes and then I
always think some berries are really
good on a cheese board so I've got
strawberries blueberries blackberries of
course got the meat we've got some
prosciutto some salami and yeah just
different types of salami they didn't
have the hugest selection of me at Whole
Foods I normally would go to like this
little Italian market we have here
that's really nice but I just didn't
have time so I went to Whole Foods so I
also got
some caramelized pecans some Spanish
cocktail mix always think some little
nuts are good to have of course all the
cheese I got some soft cheese and some
harder cheese like Parmesan I got the
brie stuff like that I mean you got your
crackers these are our favorite crackers
oh my god ignore my nails they're so
good they're better than Ritz rosemary
olive oil these are really great if you
want something super crunchy and then I
thought these do be nice if you wanted
something more like buttery and
Mediterranean with the olives I got the
little pickles sea salt caramels I'm
gonna cut these up in fours it's always
nice to have some sort of chocolate but
I also have chocolate chips too I have
some dates I thought it might be nice to
lay out I got some fig spread I have a
ton of honey and then I do have some
toothpicks too so let's set this all up
and I'm in my pajamas still let me tell
you having the baby out other than in is
so much man yah yah way so I did see
this craft paper on Amazon too but I
just forgot to order it but I will show
you all the like decorations and stuff
because most of those I got on Amazon
too and then if you guys actually want
to see the party we're gonna vlog it
later today too
oh wow
[Music]
now I guess we just lay everything on
the table it's really weird to not have
like platters and plates a cheese board
is done I went ahead and added
everything that I showed you guys and
that any kind of like spot so there
wasn't I just did like some chocolate
checks to kind of fill it in but I think
that was just enough food it filled the
counter like it looks really good so
good and I went ahead and just kind of
already chopped up some of the cheese so
it's easy to grab and like the
prosciutto I put it in bite-sized pieces
so that way it's easy to just pick it up
with your hand and we have the little
spread here and everything that's dry I
put on the paper so you just want to
make sure like the grapes and the
berries once you wash them that you dry
them so that doesn't like seep
everywhere you know what I mean like
this kinda cuz you don't want to get
soggy since this is paper so the little
pickles and olives I put in bowls look
it yeah that's really cool and then I
got these little plates off of Amazon
just easy kind of like paper plates and
forks and spoons and then this is like
the table with this cake it looks so
cute so this tablecloth is from Amazon
and then I got the little runner I
thought the black and white looked cute
since everything's black white red the
little pops of yellow I got the napkins
off Amazon where'd you get these other
things where did I get those target
target yep turgut in this candle
actually it's like wait yeah it's good
yeah got a yellow cuz Mickey the thingy
back made her famous cookies famous
cookie so assistant colors and I even
following these little straws that have
Mickey ears on them and stuff and the
red cups that go perfectly so the cake I
just searched like a Michigan what did I
search something kind Instagram like
mushy
kake's or something like that I found
this woman her name was big savvy and
she did a really good job yeah that's
really nice try it and look super
professional and really good she did a
great job so this is the one that he's
