Birthday Theme Ideas

My sister and I throw one big birthday party for our kids. My sons birthday is only 1 week away from her daughters. So for the family and friends we just do one party. Last year we did a Farm theme and took them to Fiesta Farm. Did all decor and cakes etc. to go with it. I loved it. This year I cant think of a theme that both my son and her daughter will like or that is unisex. She thinks we should just do a seperate theme for each kids. But I really want a theme. I love them and to go all out for them. Should I let them have there own?...

Need a Healthy Cake Recipe

Hi ladies! My daughter is about to turn one and I am looking for a healthy cake recipe to make for her first birthday. I am not anti-sugar, but I do try to limit her sugar intake. I guess you could say I am middle of the road. Anyway, I am looking for a somewhat healthy (but good!) cake recipe that doesn't require me to buy a ton of total obscure ingredients that I will never use again. Thank you!

Including All Kids at a Party

My daughter wants a princess party for her 4th birthday. I have a few ideas but am trying to come up with great ways to include the boys (we have a few close relatives with young boys). I have a few ideas like decorating crowns/tiaras and decorating fancy cups for both boys and girls. What I am really stuck about is the party favors. I try to do items that are themed towards the party's theme (like last year she had Little Einsteins so they received a microphone, musical instruments, and art supplies) and can find lots of things for...

Best Baby Shower Gift You Received

I am invited to a baby shower for a woman who's first child goes to school and after-school care with my own children. Her first son is six and she is pregnant again with another boy. I've been to their house a couple of times and they seem to be the type that could go out and buy anything they wanted or needed at anytime - where as we're living paycheck to paycheck and still trying to make ends meet. So my question is, what can I buy her or make for her that wouldn't look too cheap and would be something that she would want to brag...
