Since we are still partying around here, I thought I should share another party I was involved in recently. In the middle of the chaos that is December, my neighbor contacted me for help with her daughter’s 9th b-day party. She’s good at event planning, but wanted some insanity thrown into the mix. (Yes, she […]

Welcome to the Robot Design Academy and the birthday party of my six-year-old son! Here’s a question for you? Which takes longer, throwing the party or blogging about it? Ok throwing it does, but blogging about it is a close second. To keep this post from being any longer than it is already going to […]
Robot Birthday Treats
September 8, 2010 by 22 Comments
I think I mentioned that my son turned 6 this weekend. We decided to postpone his robot birthday party for a couple of weeks (and were able to take a fast but fun family getaway), but there was still some celebrating to be done! On Friday, I took goodies to his class at school to […]

My oldest son (2nd child) is turning 6 on Sunday! I was going to throw the big robot birthday for him on Monday, but too many of the potential party guests are leaving town for the weekend, so I have postponed the party for a couple of weeks. This is probably very providential, because I […]

This isn’t the first time I’ve had this request from a reader. I’ve done 4 or 5 of these invitations for little aspiring sleuths and […]

I thought I would give you a peek at a few things that have shown up in my mailbox lately to aid in my party planning endeavors. I’m actually thinking I will hold on the the ABC cups for a little while. I’m thinking “A is for Alec” could make a very cute first birthday […]
Getting Old Gifts

Many of you were excited about doing some thing like the “30 sucks” gift I sent to my sister and posted about last week. Blogging friend, Susan from Poca Cosas, left me a comment and it reminded me that I had seen lots of growing old gifts on her blog. I guess she and most […]
30 sucks! A Literal gift
August 12, 2010 by 4 Comments
I know I’m not the first person around blogland to do something like this, but when I found out that my sister was feeling a little down on her 30th b-day, I knew this belated gift would cheer her up! I took a gift tin I had lying around and covered the outside with fun […]
