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...

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?...

Baby Shower or Not????

I am prgnant for the third time around and I have absolutely nothing for baby. This was an unplanned pregnancy and the last child I had was five years ago, so I got rid of all of my baby stuff. My shower for my first was amazing and I got everything I wanted and more but my second shower was awful (it was thrown by my almost mother in law) and i didn't get anything that I registered for. I have a feeling nobody is going to want to throw me another one but I don't want hand me down stuff...am I being selfish???

9-Year-old Asking About Sex

My daughter has asked me what the word sex means and what sex is. She is 9. I explained to her that some questions are very difficult to answer and that I would like some time to think about it so I answer it the best way I can. She accepted that but I feel I need to give her an answer soon. Any suggestions? How much should a 9-year-old know? It's obvious someone, probably a kid at school, has used the word or talked about it. Otherwise she wouldn't be asking. I do realize she could have also gotten it from TV. We have already talked about...

Baby Shower for Second Baby?

I have a son who will be 5 in November and we are expecting our second child at the beginning of December. We saved everything from our first child and we don't want to find out the sex of our second child. My sister wants to throw us a baby shower for our second child, like, just because it's the second doesn't mean it's not special. There are things we would need, some new onesies, bottles, and a new stroller/car seat combo because I accidentally drove over our old stroller and we had to get rid of it. But I feel it's rude to ask...
