bday

I spent $5.75 (plus tax on the 5) so under $6 I bought all of Little Miss's B-day presents here they are 1)A full size bottle of Forever Sunshine from bath and body works ( free with coupon) 2) A webkins and a webkins clip ($5 at a good clearance sale more than 50% off) also a retired one so...

The first year we had all the family over and that was great and turned out nice. Last year we did the full deal at Chuckie Cheeses. Ugh, that cost a fortune and we paid for all the family kids tokens and plus....the pizza sucks. But it was a lot of fun. This year I don't want to spend so much...

My daughter will be turning 6 in just about a month. I want her to have the best birthday party this year, the past year has been pretty tough on her, she lost her grandfather to pancreatic cancer (my father), and is about to lose her other grandfather, my ex wife's father to brain cancer...

Need an cake recipe that does not have baking power or soda in it. Any one have any ideas?

I can't decide what I want to do for my DS's birthday. It is coming up in January and I'm obviously thinking ahead about the budget for it so I need to get it figured out soon. :) I can't decide if I want to do Chuck E Cheese, a Jumping Party, or at a park or my house. I'd really rather not...

My mom gave me a wonderful birthday present yesterday for my birthday. And it was a great day all around. :hearts::bdaypty: She always wants hints (be told what to buy) for my birthday. This year she picked one out by herself. A Vacuum! What a great surprise. A few months ago my mom was...

Ok all, I've said in various posts, I love music. I have a HUGE music collection and if I listened to it straight, I could listen to it for a month without hearing the same thing twice! That is a lot of music. Also, I've purchased a lot of music recently and I have enough to last me a very long...

I was wondering how much money you guys spend on birthday gifts for your teen/pre-teen children? Particularly milestones such as turning 13. (or 10, 16, 18) And the same for the holidays- what do you spend on your kids? What about nephews and nieces, aunts and uncles, siblings, parents, etc...

To all those reading this, Today is a wonderful day, it is my sister Sara's Birthday! Just want to say that I love you sis,and wish you the best...

Now that I have some tips for the cake (thanks guys!) I'm working on a menu for DD's party. There will be 2 other kids there and 11 adults. I want to have a frugal menu, but don't want it to look that I'm trying to be cheap. This is what I'm thinking: grilled hotdogs ( condiment tray -...

My friends are having a birthday party for their son's 3rd birthday tomorrow. They made it a facebook event, and on it said, "Don't worry about presents, Zach's family will spoil him enough" I take that to mean, don't bring gifts. I know that they are going to be financially tight over the...

ok, I'm very limited on $$. Actually, I have none. Luckily, I have shopped way in advance and put things away for his gifts. I thought about decorating brown lunch bags as the goody bags since they just get thrown away anyway. I bought a big bucket of bazooka gum as one of the fillers and was...

..............................Paige will turn 4 on Feb. 10th (can you all believe it) Anyway, for her b-day next year we were planning on getting her one of those wooden playground sets. However, Joe wants to try to get it up and going in late fall and let it be her Christmas present this...

I am getting ready for DD's party... just put the loot bags in a bag... gathered the clothes she will change in to (in the car), put new batteries in the camera... only thing left is to bring it all to the party site and then get DD from school. I invited 21 kids :thud: to the party. It's right...

I have always tried to stay within a budget for both Christmas and birthday gifts for everyone. Now that my kids are getting older the price of the "toys" they want has gone up significantly. I was just wondering what you all spend/budget towards gifts? My kids are financially savy and don't...

OK, so dd will be turning one in June. I am starting to plan now because we have so much going on May-Aug. This is how I feel but I want to know what you would think. I am not having goody bags for other kids, there will not be hardly any at all maybe 3 between the ages 2-8. Is that rude. I am...

I'm super excited! Just went to Wal-mart (even though I detest the place) to get a pair of cheap shoes for ds. FOUND a bunch of toys on clearance and bought so much that I now have is birthday (in May) and Christmas shopping done! I bought 17 items which totaled about 50 something dollars...
