Fun Birthday Ideas

If you are a mom of several children, chances are you are probably hard up on creative and fun birthday ideas for your kiddos. You must have tried a pool party or a cowboy party at some point, as well as a Tinkerbell party for your little girl on her first birthday and probably have to summon all the creative juices to come up with something original that both kids and adults will enjoy every time someone is about to turn a year older.

Birthday’s Never End…

The bad news is that it never ends, everybody celebrates their birthday each year, after all, and you ought to keep spawning those fresh ideas to make each party a stand out. Not to worry because it does not really have to be you who needs to be in charge most of the time!

For a change, this year, why not ask your children to come up with ideas of their own, then vote for the best one to use in the upcoming birthdays. You might suggest an Eighties theme party, if you must and pray hard that the little ones will appreciate it and vote for it, but nonetheless, if another idea wins, go ahead and use it on your next party. That way you can focus on some other aspects and details of the party like catering and decorations, perhaps, other than worrying about the theme. Maybe you can even contemplate on allowing your girl to come to the party dressed in one of those LEGO camp characters like those from Superheroes themed class that are appropriate for her age.

Your children will DEFINITELY be up to the task and you could use the extra downtime to do something interesting that is not party-related, too, like going to your favorite bookshop or going to the salon for a foot spa treatment!

Cute trunks for your toys

Stuffed Animal 1

My kids have outgrown playing with toys (except for one who still keeps a Barbie doll). I’m glad that I’m done with picking up toys every single day. Not that I hate doing it, it’s just tiresome. If the kids still posses their old toys, I could avail this cute doll trunk I saw online. It’s just perfect to hide the toys. It could also serve as stool or chair for kids in the play area. The trunk has wheels so it’s easy to move from one corner to another. Please click to find us here. There are more designs to choose from.

Why young girls love Barbie

Childhood is never complete without having or seeing a doll. It is one of the childhood friends you rely on when you are going to sleep or when you are playing. Barbie is loved by almost all the girls in the world because she symbolizes timeless beauty. Imagine having Barbie around for centuries now yet girls tend to ask for them until now. Barbie is an iconic character which is made to reflect girls dream appearance and shape. It is also manufactured in different race that also holds elegance like no other dolls. You can still find adults who are still hooked into her and collects every model of her wearing different outfit including that of baby phat coat as a nurse (have you seen one yet?).

Don’t let The Bugs Bite

If you are living with two rowdy little boys (like my nephews), sleep is one of the things you will sorely miss and might just be one of your biggest problems, too! I don’t know what it is about taking a nap and going to bed early that put them off, I am only sure that whenever those times arrives, my nephews will find clever ways to do many a number of things other than sleep. It seems like a nap or sleeping early at night are two activities they’d rather trade for something else, like sleeping is a sure waste of time. It won’t matter whether their grandmother had the air-conditioning on during the hot summer days or even when their granny get them each an electric mattress pad during the colder months, they would almost always drop sleeping in favor of other activities they deem more worthwhile to do. Boys!
