party ideas
Frozen banana ice cream lollipops
For N’s non-birthday party i decided to do lunchboxes for the children. So quick and easy to do, and the kids only had to pick the drink flavour and the sandwich filling they wanted. The rest was set and they…
Fun with friends at a non-birthday party
With N’s birthday being in January and having amongst about 10 other friends’ birthdays, it’s nigh on impossible to a) find a date that works and b) to not have to spend a fortune on a venue versus being able…
A fun guide to throwing a brilliant DIY ‘Minions’ themed party
Bright yellow, with either one or two eyes, Minions were catapulted into the spotlight by the ‘Despicable Me’ film franchise, back in 2010. While N hasn’t watched many films (or at least films all the way through), he has managed…
5 Quibbles with organising a child’s birthday party
In N’s 4 years, we’ve been to quite a few birthday parties. Not as many as some people (a friend’s daughter had 17 to go to in January alone!), but plenty enough, and a variety of types of party. So…
Pirate party theme – party bag idea

Brightening and lighting a boys room with Blaze On lights
N doesn’t really have a decorated bedroom, but I’ve always quite liked the idea of fairy lights for N’s room. So when we were offered the chance to choose a set of Blaze On lights I jumped at the chance. Blaze On…
Preschooler sweet nothings and a pretty christening
It’s always good when your child starts saying nice things about you. It’s not often N says much about people. Thankfully we’ve not had him pointing out people in the street and asking about babies etc, given he’s recently got…
Party idea: Pizza making at Pizza Express
I’d not come across this before (can’t believe how I missed out hearing about it!), but we went pizza making at Pizza Express for our team’s work Christmas lunch. If you’re looking for something a bit different for a party…
Rainbow cake and stripy jelly
Ok so N’s first birthday was a week or so ago, but our NCT group of mums & babies decided to do one of our regular celebration get togethers in honour of all the first birthdays. We were hosting it…
