Rubber Band Ring Toss

I dig it. Cheap and easy. AND colorful. I was chatting with a good friend of mine this week and asked her what she thought of a rubber band ring toss game for my next blog post (I had Minnesota State Fair on the brain). “I dig it.

A PoPcOrN Party!

Mmmmmm… there’s something about popcorn that makes you have to have it as soon as you smell it. Not only does it smell delicious, it’s super easy to make and even easier to buy already popped. Oh, and did I mention it’s really cheap? Giant bags of already popped popcorn can be found in the… Read More A PoPcOrN Party!

Playful Puppet Party!

Create your very own animal puppets for your next birthday celebration. I made a blueberry blue dinosaur, cotton candy cat, and a limey lizard. I can’t pick a favorite – they are all fun and unique in their own way. I used supplies that I had laying around the house, which actually can all be… Read More Playful Puppet Party!

MaGiCaL Meltaways

This is a fun idea that triples as a gift for the birthday person, party favors, and treats! We’re going to freeze objects in water using ice cube trays – and now that it’s winter, what better time to FREEZE?

Holiday Babies and Candy Canes!

Holiday baby birthdays can easily be overlooked if you don’t put in the right amount of effort and love. My sister’s birthday is December 24 and we try very hard in my family to make her feel extra-special on her big day and not feel like her birthday is on the back burner to Christmas.… Read More Holiday Babies and Candy Canes!

A Jar Full of Wishes

A wish for someone goes a long way. Recently I received a book of wishes from a dear friend of mine and even though they are sweet things written about myself, it is vainly one of my favorite books. I think I can speak for much of humanity when I say – receiving positive vibes… Read More A Jar Full of Wishes

Funny Happenings… Try Not to LaUgH!

The majority of my posts target little kiddo audiences – filling my brain with thoughts only for little kiddo parties. It’s every 20 or so ideas where I think, “Hey, teens and adults need love too!” And although teens and adults can modify any of my children’s ideas to fit their age (which I highly… Read More Funny Happenings… Try Not to LaUgH!

Funny Flip Books

If your birthday girl/boy loves creating, coloring, story telling, and bursting out into laughter, then flip books have to happen at their party. I was able to create my flip book for FREE which always gets me excited since I am on a budget. Feel FREE (ha!) to use whatever you can find in your… Read More Funny Flip Books

Stop! Drop! AND BOWL!

As fun and affordable as it is to host a party in your own home, it’s also nice to get out and about with the kiddos for an adventure. I’m thinking… a mini bowling party and then off to the fire station! So let’s start at home with some fire fighter themed bowling and puppy… Read More Stop! Drop! AND BOWL!

Potatoes and birthday parties?

The kiddos are going to love this! Did you know that potatoes are just one of the many… Read More Potato People Party!
