To make this throne, we wrapped a wicker chair in trash bags, zip tied a bunch of plastic swords to it and added some silver paint! It was SO easy☺️

Moms original slippers were named Juan and Pablo, this is actually Juanita And Paula. 💕
.
A few years ago, I got mom these slippers, because she’s obsessed with flamingos, and she wore them so much that they got holes in the bottom!!😂😂 (see next picture)

If you know someone that’s equally obsessed with flamingos, I’ve linked the EXACT slippers here!!💕 I’m pretty sure mom would give them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ http://liketk.it/2BHY0 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We just wanted to give y’all a closer look at this grass centerpiece! 🌱🌿🌱
It is one of the most versatile (and easy) pieces we’ve bought!! We’ve used it for THREE different parties and I think it’s always looked so different🌸⚾️🥚 Basically, you just stick random stuff in it and it’s done! EASY!!

Did you catch our segment on @houstonlife today?! If you didn’t ill leave a link in the bio so you can see!
When I think of Minute Maid park one of the first things I think about it the train that runs everything time the Astros score. Its such an iconic part of the games and mom thought of the idea to make a train to display all of our food. To make the train, we bought little crates, painted them, added wheels and a smoke stack and then stuck them on the table! It would be such a fun craft to do with your kiddos!!
And even though we think that the train goes perfectly with the Astros party, it would also be so cute at Christmas time if it was painted in different colors.
.
.
.
Carrots, carrots and MORE carrots! We found a TON of stuff at Home Goods this season (mostly those adorable carrot mugs!) but all of the exact product we used are linked down below.
Want to know a little trick I learned?! When making the carrot centerpieces, cut off the tops of the carrots and top them off with a bunch of parsley. The parsley is much fluffier and prettier than the actual carrot tops. .
.

We HAD to showcase what the Astros won the World Series!! Its one of our proudest Houston moments! So, we put them front and center for everyone to see. We also included our grass centerpiece again. Y'all we had no idea how versatile that it has been but we have used it for THREE parties and it has looked so different every time!
On the front of the mantle we made a very small balloon garland, using no more than 12 balloons.
And, of course, our big ticket item the astroturf rug. We decided to invest in this piece because we thought it would be awesome at a bunch of parties as well as photo booths!
.
.
.
The cutest mom award goes to my mom, KEISHA HOWELL! Fun fact, I was going to get this dress for myself but when I found it I knew it would look way better on her! Doesn't she look adorable?!
Okay, sorry, back to the mantle. We used 2 giant carrots, 4 blue willow plates, the same grass planter, the same pillows and I painted the Peter Rabbit painting. We thought Pete really tied the whole theme together, especially with his little blue jacket!
