We make a pretty big deal about birthdays around here. My children's cousins travel four hours each way to be at the party and to help us celebrate. I think spending time with their cousins is the part of their birthday celebration that my son and daughter look forward to the most! Since I want it to be a special day, I pay attention to every detail right down to the greeting card. Luckily, Walmart has a huge selection of Hallmark kids cards perfect for every party. At my son's recent sixth birthday party, we had a great time with one of the poster cards for kids and even turned it into a great keepsake to remember the fun.

DIY Spiderman Party

I've been meaning to post about my son's Spiderman birthday party for the last six months, but it turns out to be good timing anyway because there are some cute ideas for Halloween too. The spider web cupcakes and spider web decoration were really easy to do and would be a big hit at any Halloween bash. If you're looking for DIY Spiderman party ideas we have those too - favors, pinatas, and even a free printable.

Make Your Own Stuffed Animal House and Carrier

How to Fake a Barbie Birthday Cake

Right before my daughter turned three, she was eyeing up a Barbie cake at our bakery with a pretty steep price tag.  The obvious solution was to bake one myself but I had no confidence in my ability to bake a cake that size that wouldn't turn out burnt on the outside and soupy in the middle. Instead, I made it out of Rice Krispie treats and supplied enough cupcakes so nobody would know I faked it.

Diego Rescue Pack Favor Bags

Making the favor bags for my son's Diego birthday party was really easy and I love how they turned out.

DIY Jungle Vines

I made these jungle vines for my son's Diego jungle birthday party, but I'm also planning on using them for a Jack & the Beanstalk project and they would be great for any party with a jungle theme.

Diego Jungle Birthday Party!

I've got a little Diego fan here and he wanted a Diego party for his fourth birthday.
