    The Green Party: 8 Ideas for an Eco-friendly Birthday Bash

    Last weekend my daughter and I got to attend a pretty inspired first birthday party. My friend Dana put on a lovely, eco-friendly, budget-friendly and fun party for her little Tallulah, and the theme? Cardboard boxes! I had never heard of this before, but apparently it's all the rage in first birthday parties (I think it could be fun for even older kids though too!), because what kid isn't endlessly entertained by cardboard boxes? Crawling in and out of them, making forts with them…the possibilities are endless. Tallulah's birthday was just so adorable and inspiring, I had to share it! Here are 8 tips for throwing your own eco-friendly birthday party using cardboard boxes. - By Lauren Hartmann

      Birthday Cake
      This cardboard box cake that Dana made was definitely a labor of love. If you've ever tried making brown frosting before (and not just chocolate brown), then you know how easily it can go wrong. Somehow she achieved just the perfect shade of cardboard box brown for Tallulah's cake and it still looked pretty. I was thoroughly impressed!
