Wondering what to put in your Frozen party bags? Read on. In a matter of days in a village hall in Kent, there will be between 30 and 35 children running around being coralled by a woman bearing a remarkable resemblance to Elsa. For my part I am grateful that it is a joint party since this also means sharing both the costs and the responsibilities of hosting the entire Reception Year of Dimples' school. I got invitations, decor and party … [Read more...]
Christmas Tree Activity Party
It's always fun to mark then end of term and spend time with your friends in the school holidays, so when The Girls asked for a festive event, who was I to say no?

Dora the Explorer Cardboard Craft Party Decor

A few weeks ago The Dimpled Assassin turned two. I don't mind telling you that there were points when I didn't think she was going to make it that long: she's a little kamikaze round the edges. But make it she did and to mark the occasion I threw an all-singing all-dancing Rainbow themed Birthday party I've been meaning to wrote about it for a while.
