So, Theo just turned 10 (Lily’s 7, acting 17, but that’s another post), and all he wanted was a Mario Party. Naturally, being the last-minute planner I am, I decided the day before that we absolutely needed an epic mario centerpiece. You…

Balloon Math for Diego’s Rodeo Party – SOS! Hi everyone, Gabriel here from Omaha. Hope you all had a good week! Max is finally sleeping through the night sometimes, which is a small victory, let me tell you. Anyway, I’m deep in party planning mode again for Diego’s 5th birthday. My little guy is obsessed…
My son has been building LEGO sets since he was four. Not the 30-piece ones. The 500-piece Technic ones. He once spent three hours on a motorcycle kit and cried when a wheel fell off — not sad crying, mad crying. The kid takes LEGO seriously. So when he turned eight, he wanted a LEGO…

@lillian.wright: Okay, moms (and dads, and everyone in between!), I need some real talk here. I just survived Sofia’s (my 3-year-old) birthday party. Survived is the key word.
