Recently, Manic Mommies, which is a great site run by two Moms, Kristin and Erin, have begun a podcast that is quite down-to-earth and funny. If you have time in your schedule, I would definitely give it a listen.
In particular, this past week, they discussed Birthday Party Ideas. It is a topic on their minds as they have a bunch of kids’ parties coming up. I picked up on a few of their thoughts and wanted to share them with you:
- Music makes a party!
- As an alternative to giving presents to the birthday child, pick a favorite charity. In particular, they spotlighted “Smiling Kids” a charity in MA that gives gifts to kids who would not normally receive presents for their birthday. I love this idea.
- How to run a party so it doesn’t run you.
- The idea of a “Minimalist” party.
- A great goody gift item is a CD of the birthday kids’ favorite tunes.
This is all excellent stuff, and their podcast is really worth a listen to! Check it out at: http://www.manicmommies.com/
