Work together...

Because I have a minimum party requirement for my Noah's Ark Workshop events occasionally I'll find a birthday mom who just doesn't want to spend my minimum. I stumbled on an idea yesterday while looking through some parenting magazines and thought...hey, that could work!

What if two moms got together and did a combo birthday party... celebrating both of their kids' birthdays together at the party. They could each invite less kids (and hence pay for less kids) and still be able to meet the minimum requirement. Easy!

Great books for your birthday party reading or for everyday

My friend and Noah's Ark Workshop crew member Angie shared some GREAT books with me a couple weeks ago and so I ordered them. They came in yesterday and we were laughing and enjoying them all day today! :-) Now understand that my daughters are teenagers and these books are geared toward children but we LOVED them all... read them through several times and have shared them with Dad! :-)

Check them out at the library or get the hardcover version for your home library. They're fabulous!

Click, Clack, Moo-Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin





Giggle, Giggle, Quack and Dooby, Dooby, Moo are follow up stories with the same characters.





My Lucky Day by Keiko Kaska




Wild About Books by Judy Sierra is an adorable poem book about a librarian who sets up a library at the zoo and the animals love it. Check out the "insect haiku"... we're still laughing




We loved Stick by Steve Breen. Such an adorable ending and the illustrations are so sweet!

Spring birthdays!

I posted over at the TwoMomsInABlog site about a fun idea for some spring birthday parties. I love spring and flowers and just enjoying nature for a simple birthday party. Check it out here and let me know what you think!
