There is a new party venue in town + I bet all the celebrants + their guest will have a grand time celebrating there! Goldilocks, one of the most recognized brands for cakes, pastries, parties + other goodies has recently built their own special place to have the ultimate Goldi-good celebration, the Goldilocks Cake City.

Mum + the little man, along with a dozen other mummy bloggers with their little ones were invited to experience the Goldilocks Cake City, firsthand, through a Whimsical Halloween Party held last Saturday. We arrived at the venue a little after 11am + we are graciously welcomed to the feast + ushered to our seats with a pristine cake for us to decorate. Now, this is something I have not tried before, so there were really butterflies in my stomach just thinking how my cake will turn out. I must say, even if I am not really that creative, I actually enjoyed decorating our cake + putting those little Halloween sugar-figures onto our cake! At this point, the little man was so enamored with the police car + school bus wall drawings that he refused to sit beside me so that he can help me decorate our Halloween cake. Plus, he was also excited to play with costume-clad little ones who came to join the festivities. He was having a grand time partying with Superman, Super Girl + Princess Jasmin, as well as enjoying dancing to the music that was spewing from the sound system!

A little while later, the party commenced + the children where called to line up so the grown-ups can have their photos taken! Too bad the little man did not came in a costume, he would’ve looked good in a superhero costume. After the picture-taking, the games begun! The little ones enjoyed the different fun games they participated in. They made word puzzles + brought an assortment of items for the Bring-Me-More contest. Everyone had a great time participating in the games, as well as enjoying their prizes! Even Jared who did not really participated + won in any of the games was having such a terrific time just seeing all the kids.

The feast was served not long after + the buffet table was filled with usual party staples like spaghetti, barbecue, and the little man’s favorite, fried chicken. Rice and caldereta were also served, as well as cupcakes to serve as sweet endings to our meals, but I had to pass since I was rather full when I finished the food I got for me + Jared. I had to finish it on my own as the little man refused to slow down + take his seat so he can eat. Instead, he was all over the place, running here + there + asking me to have his photos taken beside the bus + police car! I guess you can really say that he loved cars so much. 😉

Later on special prizes were given to Mommy Peach of The Peach Kitchen for winning the Best Decorate-Your-Cake design. Mommy Louise + her brood were also given special prize for coming to the party with the most whimsical costumes.

+ even though some of us were not as lucky, we did not leave empty-handed, as Goldilocks prepared Bitbit boxes, filled with delicious cake slices, for us to take home, as well as Goldilocks Halloween treat for the little one.We even get to bring home the cake we designed earlier.

One can easily surmise that Goldilocks has really went on to be a one-stop celebration specialist + throwing a fun + fab party both the celebrants + guests will enjoy is really well up their alley. With Goldilocks Cake City, + its fanciful decorations + installations, not to mention ready access to delightful Goldilocks treats + a space enough to easily seat a party of 50, throwing parties is now as easy-as-pie! In fact, all you have to do is choose from a number of menu packages, a party theme, add on a few party amenities + a couple of party add-ons + you’re  all set!

choosing a halloween costume for the little man

mum's thoughts, Jared, jared's nook, Halloween
opting for the arcade instead of looking for a Halloween costume

To see my little man in a costume is one of my long-time mummy dream. I’ve been looking forward to seeing him in those oh-so-cute bumblebee or dinosaur costumes for toddlers, but alas, up until now, I have not been successful into egging him to even try out any of  those fancy + scary costumes. I was thinking that since he’s now 3, he might be more open + excited about the idea, so we head to the mall earlier to go looking for a costume he’d wear on his tita‘s trick or treat at work {which we’ve also attended last year, check out this post} on Tuesday. He was keen on scrutinizing some of the costumes he find interesting + we even get to try out Robin’s mask. I saw him eyeing this cute Spiderman costume so I excitedly asked him if he’d like to give this one a go, too bad the suit includes a head mask. The little man immediately darted away + abandon his like for the web-throwing hero’s costume like a hot potato! He, instead, decided to just go out of the department store + went playing at the arcade!

Oh well, we’ll be going to the city on Monday for some errands, I will make sure we hit the stores to search for something he might be interested to wear tomorrow. Wish us luck! 🙂

happy halloween {+ a freebie}

We’ve had an early Halloween celebration last week, so we spent the entire day cooped up at home with the little man {with runny nose to boot!} being his rowdy self again. We might visit our parents’ graves later on tonight for an early headstart + tomorrow, we will be spending the rest of the day at the memorial park.

So am just using a bit of our downtime today updating my blogs + doing some online stuff! This mum’s sneaking here in our room to use the computer while the little man takes his nap. He’ll probably be awake very soon so I might have to turn off the computer in a bit.

Anyway, I don’t want to leave without sharing this with you. I came across this super cool Halloween digiscrap kit whilst I was bloghopping some weeks back. I just love digiscrap kits even if I still have to figure out how in the world I can use them on my little one’s photos, so whenever I see a freebie, I make sure to download them {or bookmark the site so I can visit it again later on}. + this one is no exception, it has been sitting in my harddisk for some time now waiting for my digiscraping prowess to emerge!

I just love the candies + the colorful paper + the lovely owls {it comes in purple, by the way, just perfect!}. In the meantime, I will just ogle at them a bit more, hoping I can put them to good use very soon! 🙂

So if you’re looking for something to make your Halloween scrapbooks much more colorful, you might as well download the freebies here.

Happy Halloween everyone! 🙂
