Recently, a friend asked if I could help her come up with a cute Summer Mix that she could take to her daughter’s preschool class for the end-of-the-year party.  I thought you all might enjoy a few ideas that you could use for a summer party- or to take on that long ride to the beach when the little travelers get hungry.

I like to ask them if they can figure out what each one “represents” related to the beach theme!  Don’t worry, I will give you all the answers below…

A little healthier…

The ideas I used in the mix are the following- choose what you like the best and mix it up!

FISH- Goldfish crackers (variety), Swedish fish gummies

BEACH BALLS- Kix Cereal, Trix Cereal, Sixlets

LIFE PRESERVERS- Yogurt covered pretzel circles, Cheerios, Froot Loops,

SUNSHINE- Banana chips

TOO MUCH SUNSHINE- Raisins

POOL NOODLES- Pretzels, sour gummy worms

TROPICAL FRUIT- Candy mix that includes candy bananas, oranges, watermelons, etc. (found at Target)

Serve it in a sand bucket with a “Dive In” sign!

Or individually in cups, cello baggies, or cupcake liners…

And don’t forget the shovel!

Enjoy– wherever your summer trails take you!!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
