milk and cookies

"Having boy/girl twins, I wanted to create a party that had touches of masculine and feminine to represent them both but wasn't too strong in either way. This can be very tricky!" says mom and interior, floral, and event designer Kimberly Francom. Kimberly started with a gender-neutral cookies-and-milk theme and added in both girlie and boy-friendly elements. "I used small doses of ruffles, lace, fresh florals, and coral, balanced with burlap, neutral tones, and distressed crates," she says. The result is a vintage, rustic party full of DIY details that would appeal to any cookie-loving child (e.g. all children)! Keep clicking for all the details.

A first birthday not only marks a lil one's transition from infant to toddler, but for many tots, it is when they are introduced to cow's milk and more table food. To celebrate my son's one-year milestone, we built a party theme around his first taste of ice-cold milk and his first bite of sugar. Using Amy Atlas's dessert tables as inspiration, we created a milk and cookies bar to the delight of both our older and younger invitees. Check out all of the lil details.
