Yesterday Glenda from Poppyseed, our party supplier, and I went to Willow Park Primary School in Glenfield to talk to 110 five and six year olds about birthday parties. 

It was so much fun and a great way for us to find out from our biggest critics what's important to them when it comes to birthday parties.  It turns out (surprise, surprise) that chocolate cake, loot bags and presents are the most important things.

Thanks Willow Park for letting us spend the morning with you.  Hope you enjoyed the loot bags!

Big hugs,

Ang and I had lots of fun with Scarlett and her friends  at her 5th birthday party yesterday.

The theme was Crowns and Tiaras and Scarlett and her party guests looked gorgeous in their princess and fairy dresses.

We were able to use our new princess castle scene setter as a backdrop which looked fantastic alongside the table settings.

A bouncy castle, Kyle our balloon twister and an arts & crafts activity decorating Ice Queen and Fire Queen masks kept everyone entertained and busy.

Thank you Scarlett for letting us celebrate your special day with you.  All the best for school!

Big hugs,

It is hard to believe my babies are now 3 and nearly 1, and to celebrate their birthday we did it Peter Pan style.  After weeks in the planning we had the party yesterday and it was a blast, starting with the weather, what a beautiful sunny warm day, it was great to see the kids running around in bare feet

There were children dressed up as Peter Pan, lost boys, indians, pirates and tinkerbelles and with our balloon twister Kyle working his magic I saw balloon creations ranging from tigers, to swords, to butterflies, fairy wings and a special racing car and ladybird for the birthday children.

It was a fantastic to see the joy on my sons face when he arrived at the party which was decorated with balloons and palm trees, and the smile never wore off all day...it really makes all the time and effort we put into the party worth it.

I would like to say a huge thanks to Kyle for your wonderful balloon creations, and also a huge thanks to Jo, you did such a great job and it was really fantastic that I got to actually enjoy the party rather then have to run it, thank you, thank you, thank you.
