10 Year Old Girl's B-day Ideas

Hello, I have a 9 year old daughter turning 10 in May and we are looking for some B-Day party ideas. This birthday seems to be a little more special for her and she is already wanting to plan it. She is looking for something different than skating, putt-putt or bowling. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We are in the Mid Cities area.

Party Ideas for 11 Year Old Girl

My daughter will be 11 soon and wants to have a party with just a few girl friends. I would like to avoid a sleep-over, but will do it if it works out that way. We are both trying to find ideas for this age group. Nothing to cutesy, but nothing to teenager-ish. She only gets to have a party every other year, so while we can spend alittle more, we are still on a budget! Would love to hear ideas from all of you!

Baby Shower for a Minor

I have a request to do a baby shower for a 14 year old. I'm not to quick on this idea I don't want to come off as the mother that I am, but what does a 14 year old need with a baby shower. This is a happy occasion as well as I don't want to glorify the situation, so I'm not sure how I should feel about giving a baby shower for a 14 year old. I'm a mother of a 13 year old and that hits close to home to me, at this point i'm confused as to business values and my motherly advice values to the client (the mother of the 14 yr old) which is a...

Birthday Party Goodie Bags

Is it just me or have these birthday party goodie bags taken the spotlight off the birthday kid and caused our children to expect to GET something all the time-even when it's not their birthday?? When I was a child I had to learn how to GIVE to others and not expect something everywhere I went. A birthday is the one time of the year that is the child's own special day. And when I was a kid I got excited about the cake and going to the party itself-not what I was going to receive at another's birthday party! The other gift-giving holidays...

Throwing a Birthday Party for a 13 Year Old Girl!?!?

Hello All! My boss just called and he wants me to put together a birthday party for his daughter who is turning 13. He is a single dad, and is at a loss to what she wants. So since i'm a girl, I guess I should know right? WRONG! I wasn't your "typical" 13 year old, that we have nowadays. I read books, did horsebackriding etc. This girl is going to be picked up in a limo with 10 of her friends and taken to a water park. Afterwards, they are coming to the house, that I have to decorate-but not childishly!! I have daughters, but not...

Thank You Notes

My sister sent my kids lovely and expensive presents that were pretty close to what they actually wanted. They and I are grateful. The repsents arrived Dec 19th. I opened them to see which child each box belonged to and placed them under the tree. (The more to torture the kdis with of course! LOL!) I sent her a text message that day telling her they arrived and thanking her. Kids opened the presents Dec 25th. The rest of the week was the usual holiday crazy. We visited family, we had extended family come sty for three days...
