Twenty-two second-graders breathing down my neck every weekday has made me a bit of a logistics hawk. When my youngest, Maya, turned four on March 12, 2024, I figured I could handle her birthday like a pro. I was wrong. I spent three hours in my Houston backyard trying to hot-glue neon pink tulle to…
Baby Shark Party Blower Showdown! What lasted past the first “doo doo doo”? @the_real_alexander: Hey Ginyou Party Fam! Alexander here from sunny San Diego. Just wrapped up Liam’s 10th birthday – yes, ten! Can you believe it? He’s still obsessed with Baby Shark, and frankly, so are we. This year, we decided to go all…
The wind off Lake Michigan was howling on the morning of March 14, 2025, and I was hunched over a recycled refrigerator box in our tiny Logan Square kitchen.

My son Leo turned nine on June 14, 2025, and the heat in Denver was absolutely punishing that afternoon. We had twenty-one kids running around our backyard, all buzzing with enough sugar to power a small city. I stood there, clutching a lukewarm soda, realizing that my meticulously planned “Hall of Justice” was currently being…
My kitchen table in Logan Square was a disaster zone of glitter, half-eaten crusts from Jewel-Osco pizza, and a guest list that looked more like a census report than a first birthday invite list. I sat there on a Tuesday night in February 2019, staring at my twins, Leo and Maya, who were currently trying…
My living room looked like a glitter bomb hit a tuxedo shop last March. Aria and Leo, my twins, were turning six, and they’d decided—with the stubbornness only a kindergartner possesses—that their party had to be “fancy.” Fancy in Chicago speak apparently means gold everything. I had fifty bucks in my pocket and a guest…
