POKÉMOM OF THE YEAR! 💁‍♀️ for arlos birt POKÉMOM OF THE YEAR! 💁‍♀️ for arlos birthday we made these custom pokémon cards to give out as party favors — he got one at his friends bday and has cherished it since. 

we are especially proud of the 8 year old arlo evolving from 7 year old arlo 😆 tickles me!

here’s how we did it :

we used a generator (pokemoncardmaker.net) to make the actual card, and i used chatgpt to make the illustrations of him, sent the files to a local printer for double sided cards AND they used GOLD INK and only charged $1 per card!!!! just got the back of the card off google images.

we asked him what his dream moves would be or whatever (we messed them up and this apparently is an unusable card but it doesn’t matter because he doesn’t actually play the game lol)

i was a really really naughty teenager who’d alr i was a really really naughty teenager who’d already gotten arrested and kicked out of schools multiple times by my senior year, but right before i graduated we went on our senior retreat to ojai and camped in yurts and did sweat lodges and sage rituals and on the last night i sat around the campfire and declared i was going to change my ways and become good. i stopped being a stoner the very next day 😆 

long story short ojai holds a very special place in my heart so i am sooo happy i got to celebrate my best friend @nicolepflynns 40th in this magical gorgeous place before leaving california 

we had a bucket list filled weekend like we were contestants on the bachelor— beekeeping and horseback riding and the most insane meal at @rorys_place_ojai !! (do not miss the pavlova)

a look back at the very first major project we did a look back at the very first major project we did in our house— we did soooo much work to turn our backyard into a palm springs hotel inspired desert scape and then on a pregnant nesting whim i turned it into a much cozier yard for us to actually enjoy and be able to use 

if i missed any of your questions lmk and i’ll answer them in the comments!

to make our cross country move a little tiny bit m to make our cross country move a little tiny bit maybe hopefully easier for my son, i made him two books— one to serve as a memory book about our old home in los angeles and one to be more like a treasure hunt / bucket list for our new memories in our new home in connecticut. 😭

also gifted him a cute little thermal camera to document everything (definitely his favorite part)

if you’re moving to another state or city or country with your kids, this is a really simple idea to hopefully give them a little feeling of control during a time of chaos and uncertainty and also maybe to put their feelings of homesickness to use ❤️🤞

if you want to make your own, comment MAKE and i’ll send the links straight to your inbox
