Any suggestions would be great on some kind og ball themed 2nd year b-day party. Thanks!

Looking for Simple Cookie Cake Recipe-hurry

I am looking for a super simple and delicious cookie cake recipe (sugar or choc chip) that can be made either in a 13 x 9 or on a bar style cookie sheet/pan. Also, if anyone has a whipped style frosting recipe that is like the stores use that would be helpful as well. I need it for my son's party this weekend. Thanks a bunch!

Need Help with Baby Shower Decoration Ideas

I am hosting a baby shower at my church for a first time mom to be. The room is very large and I would like to take just a section of the room and use it for the shower. I would like ideas on how to create the feeling of a smaller room. There are no partitions and I would like inexpensive ideas. I have 6 ft tables available and round tables. Since my childen are much older now, I would also like ideas from new moms on types of little, fun gifts to give that I could incorporate into the decorations.

Goody Bags or Not??

I'm planning on having a party for my daughter who will be turning 3 at Pump It Up and need some advice about goody bags. Is it really necessary to give goody bags away to guests?? Honestly, I don't see a point to those goody bags, but was wanting some input from other moms. The kids will get to bounce for 80 minutes and then they go into the party room for cake and juice....I'm having the party at 3:00 so really don't need to provide other kinds of food since I don't want to ruin their appetite for dinner. Can kids and parents just go...

Baby Shower Games?

So...I'm hosting a baby shower this weekend...never done one before...but it's for a really good friend...so I'm willing to take the challenge. My planning it is somewhat short notice (something came up with the girl that was originally going to host it)...so I haven't had months to ponder and mull things over...more like days. I've talked to several different people who have said that most baby shower games are lame...just do something real simple and let everyone mingle. As I've looked at the guest list...majority of the ladies on there...

Birthday Party Place

I am interested in finding a place to host a birthday party for my daughter turning 6 and son turning 5. Their birthdays are three days apart so we usually throw a combined birthday, so need something fun for girls and boys. I want to find something different than Chuck E Cheese or Pump it Up. We live in North Dallas so close to us is good too. Also relatively inexpensive (less than $10 per child) since there will be around 25 kids attending. Yes we want it all- close, different, inexpensive, for both girls and boys. Any ideas on places?...

Gestational Diabetes and Baby Shower Menu

Hi there - I'm throwing a shower for a girl friend of mine who we just found out has gestational diabetes. The shower is this upcoming Saturday, June 5th and I am in desperate need of help planning the menu. She just found out she will be on insulin and I have not a clue of what she can and can't have. We were planning on doing brunch style finger foods, etc - so I'm asking for suggestions or referrals. This is her second girl so it's a very laid back shower - but I still would like for it to be perfect.

Turtle Themed Baby Shower

My SIL and I are throwing our cousin a baby shower. She has chosen turtles as her nursery theme and wants the shower to have the same theme. I did a little research on-line and found two invitations out of our price range. I also tried to find wording, but because turtle doesn't have anything besides purple that rhymes with it, I didn't have much luck. Any suggestions on how to tie turtles into a baby shower??
