We recently celebrated my middle son’s 6th birthday with a pirate-themed birthday party. I would have liked to write about all of my homemade pirate-themed snacks and treats inspired from Pinterest, but as a working mom with three boys, I feel like just getting my act together enough to get invitations out more than six days before the party is a major accomplishment.
Once we sent out the invitations, I decided to worker smarter (and not harder) to make the party a day my little guy, his friends and their parents and our family wouldn’t forget–and I did most of which using services and stores right in Burbank.
Inspired by Pinterest, I really wanted to make cupcakes for the big day, but when my little guys said he wanted a cake, I decided to leave it to the pros at Albertson’s. We ordered their Sponge Bob Square Pants Pirate cake minus the Sponge Bob and replaced them with our own Mickey and friends pirate toys.
And while I so wish I was a Pinterest mommy with homemade pirate treasure snacks and grog, I’m just happy that our friends and family had fun on a really hot day.
