Had to laugh about the lawn-mower in the living room:) Silly idea- do you have a photo? You’ll look back in ten years time and say to friends…”Do you believe this?!” …Are you sure you don’t want to go into the Party business?.. Lots of people would pay to have such great parties – but yes, it is exhausting. Fantastic blog and loved the party photos too.

In reply to Leanne Barnes. I like the idea of bringing the beach to the front door!

Perhaps I’m a mean mum, but our kids are only allowed parties on significant birthdays – starting school, turning 10 (double figures) etc. The next one will prob be 13 (terrible teenagers). Every other year they just have a friend sleep over or we go out for dinner… Our eldest had a beach volleyball party for her 10th birthday. We had (a lot) of sand dumped on the front lawn from the local landscaping yard, put up a volley ball net, got a few little umbrellas for their party cups, some lei’s and they swam in the pool… Easy. When the party was over we raked the sand into the lawn… This works for us and is much less stressful!!

I’m working on a shabby chic farm party if that suits!
Haven’t had any word on a mad hatters tea party, but honestly if you want any assistance I also do invites and have worked on interstate events.

Watch your back Di – I could be arriving at any time. In the meantime if you could find someone in Melbourne that needs a Mad Hatters Tea Party – style it up and post the pictures on your blog for me to steal your ideas (by February) that would work too!! LOL

This is magnificent! I love, love, love that your husband repaired the lawnmower in the living room! This makes me laugh and shudder with familiarity all at once.

Gosh! I love your party themes. (I am a sucker for a theme party) My son has only had one birthday so far, but I am looking forward to future ideas. It can certainly be stressful though when you have a vision in mind. Good luck this tome around!

Hahaha! Wow that is awesome! You are absolutely free to kidnap me!
I would love to help you out with your kids parties, I know the stress it can cause, and if I can help to relieve that, it’d be my honour.

That girl from Melbourne!
