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...
I’m a mom of twin girls, so I know that planning two birthday parties in one can be a little overwhelming. And, if you have boy/girl twins, birthday party planning becomes that much more complicated. So I’ve rounded up my best ideas on how to plan a birthday party for...
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...
One of the reasons I offer online party planning services (like The Party Course and The Party Plan Club) 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 missing...
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...
Here's the thing about 14-year-olds: they know what they want. And this year, my twin girls wanted a bowling birthday party / sleepover and they wanted their primary party color to be ginger. Allllright-y then. Bowling Party Invitation Fortunately for me, I found Jula...
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...
Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Tracy Allen of Sweet Peach Paperie back to the blog, sharing her twin daughters' darling mermaids 5th birthday party! (You can see Tracy's Sea Turtle Twins Birthday Party here.) What did I love about this twins birthday party? It was a...
My twins are now ten, which is just crazy to think about. I'm ready to shrink them back to three! But they are pretty darn excited about being double-digits and I guess I don't have much choice in the matter. We've always done joint birthday parties for the girls....
Saturday morning is prime blog prep time for the working mom. Time to pack up the kiddos and run to Hobby Lobby or the antique store or the grocery store to purchase whatever supplies I need for the blogging week. Time to create the recipe or craft and photograph it...
One of the best parts of running a children's party planning biz is that I can do so much of this work with my children. They brainstorm and vet party ideas. They put on first coats of paint. They look over my shoulder and say, "Pin that, mommy!" But there are times...
This weekend, I've thought so often of Sandy Hook Elementary -- those families who are facing their second Christmas without 20 precious children. I've dwelt on what may be the best way to remember those stricken families. It finally came to me that maybe my best is...
There's the Christmas card photo, and then there's what it took to get the Christmas card photo. A quick shoot, one afternoon post-school ... probably not the best idea. Mommy: Girls! Miss Lissette will be here at 3:30 to take your photos. You need to run upstairs and...
Today, I'm excited to welcome Tracy of Sweet Peach Paperie to the blog. Tracy designed all the printables and styled this Pink and Green Sea Turtle Birthday Party for her 4-year-old twin girls. Of course, a party for twin girls is close to my heart. Tracy's kiddos...
Does the question, "Mommy, can I have a sleepover?" strike fear into your heart? When you think about planning a slumber party, is "mimosa for mommy" the only thing you can think of? I'm here to help! In June, I hosted a sleepover for my twins and four of their...
As a mom of twins, I have it fairly easy when it comes to birthdays. Two birds with one stone and all that. I get to be a little more extravagant than I might be for a party of one. And of course, it's all made easier because I have two of the same sex. The challenge...
If you've been following along, you know I'm working through Kay Wills Wyma's book Cleaning House: A Mom's 12-Month Experiment to Rid Her Home of Youth Entitlement. (Read why here and read our first update here.) We have skipped ahead to Task 2: getting kids to...
