Pumpkin Cake O’ Lantern

In the last post, I provided you with a how-to for throwing your first Halloween party for your kids. I thought that I would follow up with a Jack-o-Lantern Cake. And yes, it looks like a real Jack-o-Lantern, because it is baked in two bundt pans. There is a recipe below, or if you are… […]

How To Throw a Halloween Party for Pre-Teens/Young Teens

Now, I don’t even want to think back to the parties that I hosted. All I can hope for is that your teen is a whole lot quieter and neater than I was. No, I haven’t even shared those stories with my kids.

Children Will Not Remember

“Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.”

The Best Birthday Cake

Teens love birthdays just as much as the younger set but I think that instead of a theme cake, they are more interested in sophistication and tons of fudge frosting. Here’s a recipe that I found this morning that looks awfully good to me! Image is everything to a teen!

Drugs and Parties

During the teen years, friends carry a lot more weight than we might like, but sometimes it works out amazingly well. Having his friend hang up on him at the end of the conversation, made much more of an impression on him than any lecture that we could have handed out. And while […]

Castle Birthday Cake

Yes, this just looks as if it would be hard to make, but I’m not telling you to start from scratch… you are using a mix. And the frosting comes from a can too! Decorating the cake will probably be the hardest part, but you have to admit, it looks like a lot of fun. […]

It’s Pirate Time, Mateys!

Do you have a little pirate at home? Someone who just can’t get enough of hidden treasure and the high seas? If so, then you’ve found the place to satisfy his or her swashbuckling ways. You’ll find parties, games, cakes, crafts, and more — all in your child’s favorite theme.
