Taco “Two’s-Day”-Braden’s 2nd Birthday Party

November 8, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Saturday my sweet baby boy turned 2!!  How is that possible?!  We had all the family over and celebrated with a taco “TWO’s-day” theme!  It was so much fun and so easy!  We catered food this year and that was a total #momwin!  Who doesn’t love a Taco Bar?  It was delicious and so much less work!  Here are all the details!

We are lucky to have family live close so they all came over to help us celebrate and I am pretty sure they were all excited about tacos. Here was the invitation I sent out.

We catered Fuzzy Taco….DELICIOUS!!  I think I could definitely get used to catering!  Tastes better, less time, less clean up and we have amazing leftovers!

I got the pom-pom banner at Hobby Lobby and hung some recent photos of Braden below.   I just love a photo banner!  It is still hanging in our kitchen :)…I don’t want to take it down!

Huge chalkboards are the best.  They are cute and can be used over and over again!  I kept it really simple this year with some cardstock 2’s from Hobby Lobby, chippy wood blocks, scrapbook paper for added color, signs I made and taco picture frame holders.

Since we had a taco theme I thought using hard shell tacos, filling them with green paper sizzle to look like lettuce and sticking  photos of Braden in there would be cute, cheap and fun!

A little taco cookie cake!

The birthday boy!!  We bought these little plastic sombreros and mustaches at Hobby Lobby and took fun pictures with them.  Braden was not so sure about the mustache!

The family got in on the fun! I swear it was fun even though we all look so serious in this photo!  For some reason the mustaches gave everyone serious faces!  It was hard to smile!  Geoff’s is a bit wonky! haha.

It was a fun little fiesta and we loved celebrating our sweet little man!

    Omgosh, love following your blog. I’m starting to get a little weirded out though for we have way too much in common lol! First of all out interest in decor and design. Our taste…very similar. Some of the things you purchase even the ones you don’t advertise I have in my home..example candles. The one that really hit home is your latest…”Braden’s bday” I too have a Bradyn and he’s 14! Crazy right! Happy posting I love it!

    I don’t have a 2 year old but, instead I have a 37 year old (husband) that would love a party like this 😉 Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday!

Happy Thursday! Loving the skirt we added under the sink. Make such a big impact for very little investment.

When designing our home I pulled inspiration from all over! Pinterest, Instagram, magazine, design books, etc. we had this long spot in our front entry that we were trying to figure out and when I saw this image (swipe to see) in @gilschaferthearchitect ‘s book it stopped me in my tracks. I loved the use of transoms and designated spaces. My architect @josephpaulhomes & his wife Michelle helped pull the whole look together. So happy with how it turned out.

My grandfather owned a grocery store in New Jersey. The scale hanging from the ceiling in our butler’s pantry was the scale in his store. My uncle had it for the longest time & gifted it to me when we moved into this home. I love it so much!! My mom has the cash register he used in his store in her home. I love decorating with items that have meaning & that tell a story.

I love hallways & nooks. They are a great way to add interest to your home. Natural light & details are key. This space connects our hearth room to the gameroom. The Dutch door goes out to our courtyard, the room at the end is my office and the door to the left (just out of the photo) goes to the pool bath. Lots going on in this space.
I saw this floor pattern in a design book & had to have it somewhere in our home. I love it so much!

Bathrooms are such a fun space to make bold choices. They are small so every decision & detail makes a big impact. Still in love with this wallpaper from @wallpapersgalore_

✨REMODEL UPDATE: FAMILY ROOM✨

This family room had good bones, but we needed to declutter , maximize storage, update furnishings & make the space more functional.

🤎comment SHOP for sources
➡️ swipe to see before & after photos

There was a wall of shelves that was just too much. We purged and decorated with items that she loved & had sentimental value. So many homes are built with tons of open shelving and you have to be really careful in these spaces because they can become a spot for clutter instead of being intentional. 
•added cabinet doors to 2 sections of shelves for some much-needed hidden storage.
•utilized the shelving that was separate from the other ones to make a designated bar space that is intentional and great for entertaining.
•found an gorgeous antique bar back to go against the wall that again is used as a bar when they entertain. Previously, it was a huge bench that took up width, but added no height to the wall. This is a major focal point in this space so we made it both functional and beautiful.
• I am not a huge fan of sectional couches unless they are in very specific areas. I think sometimes when people have a big room, they look for a big furniture to take up the space but it doesn’t actually give you the most seating and the spacing is sometimes awkward. They still really wanted a leather couch in there so we kept that, but then used more tailored chairs to frame the space.
• found this gorgeous coffee table on Facebook marketplace. Such a find!
•Removed the huge windmill fan that really took away from the gorgeous architecture of the ceiling with the beams.
•filled in dead space with functional furniture, like a cute table perfect for  game night.
•scaled back the TV so it made more sense over the fireplace and went with a frame one so there could be pretty art up there as it is a main focal point. (Art was off in this photo, but typically it looks like a vintage painting)

So excited with how this space turned out. It’s lighter, brighter, more functional & a better use of space. They have walls of windows along the back of the house with a beautiful view and now you’re able to focus on that more.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ✨

Throughout this remodel you will see two constant goals…brighten up the spaces & add functional storage. This bathroom was dark & dated. We took everything out and had a fresh start. 

🩵 comment SHOP for sources

•New paint, wallpaper, tile, fixtures, lighting, etc.
•Raised the height of the counters & some additional cabinetry extending up to the ceiling for much needed storage. 
•Added cute details to the side of the counters
•Removed the tub & added a glass door to the shower to make the space feel bigger & more open.

This sweet girl has brought us so much joy! We are “foster failures” & couldn’t be happier about it. Callie has been the best addition to our family.
Chat GPT made this cute art from our Christmas picture of her. She was living her best life with all the ribbon from the presents.

I love a mudroom! I don’t care what size house I live in from here on out I’ll always have some “mudroom” space…even if it’s a tiny little spot. It’s so great to have a drop zone to keep organized. This space got lots of use during our ice storm with all the wet shoes, etc & these brick floors were great!!

Feels strange getting back to work this week. We’ve been living in PJs and been asking what day it was for about a week now. Snowmageddon 2026 was fun & we still have piles of ice on the ground….BUT nice to go back to a bit of a routine. January felt like 47 days 🤪
