This cake was relatively easy to execute, just cut out layers of rolled fondant & cut slices to resemble pinata layers. That’s a taco truck topper if you can’t make it out!
Photobooth.
Whappity-whap.
Planning this party taught me the value of tissue paper. This stuff is like gold! It’s also super inexpensive gold at that. You do have to love detail to work with it. Pinatas proved to be pretty forgiving projects, the taco pinata was especially easy if not time consuming to make. There are so many online diy tutorials that really just guide you through it. I used this one which also inspired much else in the party.
I found this party to be an all around crowd pleaser for adults & kids alike. I mean c’mon, it’s tacos. Where can you go wrong?
My favorites (other than eating tacos) was the story reading by my step-dad who is an epic book reader. I often walk into a room when he’s reading to H & he always deviates from the plot & makes stuff up which is pretty entertaining. For this party he read, Dragons Love Tacos which is such an awesome book! I love this illustrator & author, H also has their book, Robo-Sauce.
Second fave, watching toddlers hit pinatas. They just do a light whappity-whap, they don’t quit get the bashing in part just yet which is pretty darn adorable. H has some older cousins luckily who do get the bashing in part & thus the candy flowed freely. H even asked me a couple times to hit it for him.
Again, ack! How can this kid be three? We’ve negotiated a rough patch over the Winter but now our souls, like the Spring time weather seems to be in a warm & sunny place. Motherhood has taught me so many lessons, right now it’s all about a ton of prayer & learning how to be really easy on myself.
Wishing the best for all of you out there as the Spring time buds unfold! See additional party credits below.
Peace & namaste~

I've practiced yoga since 2006, I stumbled into a class at my local gym. I didn't really "get" yoga, I wanted to do all of the poses to the max, I didn't focus on breathing, and I was very competitive. A year later I quit smoking and my mom purchased a three month unlimited to a local studio. I fell in love with yoga! Plus the metaphor was strong, my lungs began to repair, I could take really deep inhales without coughing! I later began to go to a free outdoor yoga classes in downtown Long Beach, CA that was also affiliated with a donation based studio. Yoga was fun, affordable, accessible, and outside! I loved it. I started practicing at home by myself. I started meditating.
Right after I found the classes at the gym stopped drinking alchohol. My sobriety and yoga have intertwined ever since. They compliment each other amazingly and I am so grateful for them both.
I stopped practicing yoga after getting pregnant and being caught up with the taking care of a newborn in 2013/2014. When he was 9 months old I realized that I really wanted to redirect myself back to yoga. I also had the seed planted in my mind while driving home from Christmas break, why don't you go do a yoga teacher training?! I started practicing yoga at a local studio and began scouring the internet for a teacher training program. I found Three Sisters Yoga, a lovely program, based out of NY & PDX. I was more than motivated to teach, I started teaching some free yoga in the summer of 2015 at a local park. I continued after that with an internship at the same studio I had signed back up with at the beginning of the year. I quit my day job. I hit the pavement, scouring for yoga gigs that would hire a newbie. I found a job and began to teach!
Now I am navigating the great balance of being a single mom, a yoga teacher, and doing my best to trust my higher power with my future. I love to teach and practice vinyasa, but also know what it's like to be drawn to slower types of yoga due to injury or body type. I feel a special affinity for yoga new comers and like to teach practice at all different levels. Thank you for taking time to read a little more about me and I wish all of you the best in your own individual yoga practice.
~Namaste!
