I did cookies by design (everybody loves cookies and they are so pretty... I had a lot of adults at her party so I wanted something that anyone would like.

We had her party at the lagoon(a man made beach with slides) and the theme was a luau. So for party favors I did sand buckets, shovels, arm floaties, rubber ducky animals, and little towels that I found for .87 cents. Everything could be used at the party so everyone loved them.

I`m about to start making party favors here shortly as well.. I`m putting 1-2 mini rubber duckies, party poppers, dum dum suckers, and some Monkey Munch (it`s a check mix party mix)

balloons are good, what about small stuffed animals that match the theme if you have one.

depending on the age you can just not do goody bags. you could (depending how many kids and their ages) just get them coloring books at the dollar store and a pack of crayons. thats pretty much what i do just bc there will be plenty of sweets at the party and im not big on candy and neither are most of the mom`s nowadays. you could do the coloring books and crayons for the smaller children, stationary or something for older ones. gel pens are usually a big hit for girls between 6-12. boys are a bit harder. maybe a puzzle book or hot wheel car or something. if you really want to give candy you could just tape a lolly pop on the book or something like that or a single candy bar. i lean towards kit-kats or even fruit snacks, roll ups, animal crackers, or even chips. =)) theres so many things you could do. its basically just a little thankyou for coming to the birthday party. you dont have to go crazy if you dont want to.

Oh LOL! I really haven`t done this before so I just thought that that is what we are expected to do. Like etiquette, courtesy? I was thinking along the lines of cute stationary like colorful pencils, erasers, stickers etc.

I disagree. My kids LOVE getting goodie bags and arn`t snooty about the gifts inside. My son is nine and has always loved the little rubber snakes, lizards, dinos etc. (you can get them at the $1 stores) stickers, play-doh, yo-yo`s little candies like snickers, milkyways, sixlets and suckers. If there will be girls there don`t forget the rings and bracelets. Have fun!! :o)

to be honest...no one really cares. (or at least mine did not) I had full size candy bars, mardi gra beads and cheesy sunglasses.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
