Coveting Candles





My daughter totally adores parties. An invitation gets her so excited she wants me to sit down and help her write a response stating "I miss you so much". Her main concern on the way to the party is will SHE get to blow out the candles!! 
If you have to constrain your little one from blowing out someone else’s candles at a birthday party, try explaining to your child why they are going and how special the host thinks he/she is to invite them to help celebrate the day the host was born; besides that, it would be unfair if someone else blows out their candles. Another idea is to light candles days before or all week to settle their urge to embarrass you : )

Sticker Shock

Favors are a big deal in my book. It is the host immediate offer of thanks and appreciation to guest for joining in the celebration and for bringing thoughtful gifts. I particularly prefer practical favors; not the bulk knickknacks that I have heard some moms describe as hazardous or clutter pieces. Whether you are on a strict budget or big budget, favors can always be thoughtful, practical and age appropriate.
My family attended a special birthday party and this mom gave away scratch and sniff stickers. Wow! I must have been in middle school since I've seen a scratch and sniff sticker. They are perfect and adorable! I am amazed at how much kids like stickers not to mention one that smells like lemons and strawberries. Keep in mind to make your favors thoughtful and fun no matter the budget.
