The gal: Kelli, newish to the team and darling as can be; Mom of two, doting wife, lover of outdoors and all things family
The challenge: do it with $25 or less – including food AND gift…for 22 people!
My solution to the challenge: picnic in the “park” (er, second floor conference room?! I can’t predict the weather peeps…)

The décor: picnic blanket (Target), plus two borrowed that aren't pictured, toys (little dude’s so she felt like family was around - also not pictured), multi-use basket (Tiffany’s in PV) complete with “Fiesta” Essie nail wear and a trashy “People” read

The music: Jack Johnson on Pandora radio
The result: all smiles
Happy birthday Kelli! May it have been all you’ve been wishing for and more!
Now, on to plotting how I can plan my soon-to-be-2yo’s party on this budget…
