Each Christmas season, we host a small Christmas cookie decorating party. It’s become an annual tradition that we really look forward to. Over the years we've found ways to make this party a lot easier to pull off, so I’m sharing my best cookie decorating party tips...
One of my favorite images from my daughters' tea party is of all the guests gazing at our food and desserts table. If you're wondering about things to serve at a kids' tea party, you're in the right place — because the tiny sandwiches, the sweets on a tiered tray, the...
Are you as in love with the pink Halloween trend as I am? I think a pink Halloween party would be perfect for an October birthday or pre-trick or treating. What better way to get your kids to eat a little dinner before the big night than by making it sweetly spooky?...
Ya'll, I guess I can kiss the SEO ranking on this post goodbye, because NO ONE is going to be Googling "Dolly Parton + Weather Birthday Party for Twins." But, this is the reality of birthday parties for twins! Honestly, I'm just glad my kids haven't said they are too...
We are all about the Barbie movie, and if your daughter is too, then here are some disco Barbie birthday party ideas to get your party started. I've covered Barbie party decor, food, place settings, activities and party favors. Come on Barbie, let's go party! I have...
Today I'm so excited to welcome Cami Monet Miller to the blog with the ONE of a Kind first birthday party she created for her daughter Mia. This party is sooo gorgeous. Even if you don't have a one-year old, I KNOW you'll find design inspiration that you could apply...
Do your kids ever have trouble choosing a birthday party theme? This year, as my twin daughters’ 17th birthday approached, they could NOT agree on a theme. They finally hit on the idea of a disco birthday party, which was an idea I’d never would have come up with for...
I've wanted to host a pie baking party for my daughters and their friends for a few years now. This party was delayed when Baby A got sick and then again when Covid hit last year. So we were awfully excited to finally get to host our Friendsgiving Pie Party. The idea...
Like so many of you, we’ve now faced the “birthday in a pandemic” dilemma. My twins were turning 16 and all they wanted was a small party with friends. The girls and I planned their party together and came up with this boho picnic sweet 16 birthday party. We had a...
One of the reasons I offer online party planning services (like The Party Course and my themed party plans) instead working as a local event planner, is that I don't want to spend weekends away from my daughters, running birthday parties for other moms' kids but...
I've got a party for you that comes together really quickly, is inexpensive, easy on you, and will be loved by all ages, boys and girls: a donut party. Ours was a Hawaiian-styled donut party for my twin daughters' 15th birthday. The tropical look was inspired by one...
My darling little niece (actually great-niece, but let's not go there because it makes me feel old) has chosen a Barbie birthday party. Her "Kitty" will host the party, but I get to help out with some ideas! And that means, you get a Barbie birthday party mini party...
My kids, who —- I swear — were 4 just yesterday, graduated middle school this week. They each ended their 8th grade year with straight As in advanced and accelerated courses. We couldn't be more proud. Okay, mom brag over. Of course, this milestone had to be...
Here's the thing about 14-year-olds: they know what they want. And when it comes to planning a teen girls bowling birthday party, mine were no exception — my twin girls wanted a bowling birthday party / sleepover and they wanted their primary party color to be ginger....
When my twin girls were about to turn 11, they couldn't agree on a joint party theme ... like, at. all. But, I discovered there was one activity they could agree on. Apparently, it was very fun to swipe my phone and take selfies. I'd be looking for a photo, and all of...
My girls' 12th birthday was in February, but we swiped an idea from a friend whose daughter also has a February birthday. We just moved their birthday to summer. That gave us the chance to pick from outdoor activities. That might only work for tweens or teens — kids...
Sometimes, you want to party small. That's what we did for my niece's 3rd birthday party. (Miss M is technically my great-niece, but that makes me feel super old, so let's just drop the "great," shall we?) Like every other girl her age, Miss M is completely taken with...
Did you have a favorite Halloween costume as a child? Mine was a witch costume, sewn by my mom. One of my twin girls feels the same way, and has dressed up as a witch for Halloween three times. (I have no sewing skills, but I can shop with the best of them.) Those are...
