The end to the birthday bash

Ah… Last year when my daughter was in 2nd grade the huge group birthday parties started to taper off, thank God! I know for a fact that the birthday we spent the most $ on was a “creative” one where we booked a place (no name mentioned) and the kids painted a t-shirt. That also happens to be the birthday that my daughter remembers least.

So – last year we splurged and took her to Lion King on Broadway. Oohhh – great tip – check out mousesavers.com for discount Disney everything including shows.

This year we are playing down even more by going out to her restaurant of choice after school gets out one day with her two closest friends.

As parents, we know the lunacy of birthday parties and what $ people spend. Let me add here that the best birthday party we had was when we brought in some animals from a nearby nature center to the house. That really was fun – kids loved it and it was definitely affordable.

That’s it for now. I see that I still have many visitors and I feel awful that I’m not as regular with this blog as I should be.

Just want to remind everyone that I also do websites (thus my soniamcsweeney.com site) as well as raw food and body image coaching (rawreconnect.com)

Thank you for stopping by!!
