I love designing parties but designing my own children’s parties are something else. After all, their birthdays are the best day of my life! 🎀

On a side note: My sweet Milan was just fine after this photo. He was in the middle of his fun and we pulled him away for a quick photo. The struggle to get a family photo (with everyone’s eyes open} is real 💗

With not enough weekends to celebrate in the month of March, I decided to celebrate my son’s 5th birthday after school with all of his adorable classmates. He had a BLAST! I wish I could hold onto these days and years much tighter because they are flying by 🌪🤍 #iloveyoumilan

Had the pleasure to be a part of Norooz {Iranian New Year} for one of the most beautiful families (@tinasadri and @drehsansadri) I am lucky to call friends.

If you are unfamiliar with Norooz {Persian / Iranian New Year}, Norooz in its literal translation means New Day – “No” means New and “Rooz” means Day. It is observed based on the Persian calendar and it is an ancient and traditional celebration of the beginning of Spring marking the first day of Spring as the first day of the new year.

The way Iranian’s prepare for the arrival of Norooz is by setting and prettifying a table spread (also known as a Sofreh Haft-Seen) with symbolic and traditional items that represent many elements in our life and new year to come. Seven specific items are placed on the spread that start with the letter “S” or to be more specific the Persian letter “Seen”. Haft-Seen in its literal translation means 7 (Haft) seens. 7 “S’s”. 🇮🇷

{SABZEH} wheat or lentil sprouts growing in a dish – symbolizing growth and renewal
{SAMANOO} a sweet pudding made from wheat germ – symbolizing wealth
{SENJED} the dried fruit of the oleaster tree – symbolizing love
{SEER} garlic – symbolizing medicine
{SEEB} apples – symbolizing beauty and health
{SERKEH} vinegar – symbolizing age and patience
{SEKKEH} coins – prosperity and wealth
{SONBOL} hyacinth flower – symbolizing the start of spring
{SOMAGH} sumac – symbolizing the sunrise and sunset

{Other items that are used on the spread that don’t start with the letter “S”}

Mirror and lit candles – symbolizing self reflection, enlightenment and happiness
Decorated eggs – symbolizing fertility and family
A bowl with goldfish – symbolizing life
Holy book {depending on faith} – symbolizing God’s blessing
Traditional pastries, nuts, and dried fruits – symbolizing food and feasts

{s w i p e left for all the details}
