Throwing a Birthday Party for a 13 Year Old Girl!?!?

Hello All! My boss just called and he wants me to put together a birthday party for his daughter who is turning 13. He is a single dad, and is at a loss to what she wants.

I read books, did horsebackriding etc. This girl is going to be picked up in a limo with 10 of her friends and taken to a water park. Afterwards, they are coming to the house, that I have to decorate-but not childishly!! I have daughters, but not...

Carnival Party Ideas Needed

My 9 y/o is turning 10 in 2 weeks. She wants a carnival party. My sister did one a few years ago and still has some of the things that I need like a bean bag game, balloon game and some wooden stand-ups. I plan on having a few other games and doing popcorn, cotton candy and prizes with the tickets they get from the games. If you've done this, what were the "hit" games of the party? My mom can make the cake, so I'm looking for ideas for a cake too. I was thinking of an "admit one" ticket cake, but not sure. Please don't send me to links. I...

JFF - Have All Your Daughters Watched the Disney Princess Movies?

I ask because it came to my attention this week, that my 10 year daughter has never watched any of the Disney Princess Movies. I thought, how could this be? Simple birth order is the reason. My first daughter (now 24) was mesmerzied and we owned every Disney VHS and bought all the Costco princess sets, etc. Then 10 years later I have a son, followed by a daughter 3 years after him. My son was absorbed with Thomas the Tank, Bob the Builder, Blues Clues, plus technology had changed and we didn't own the princess movies on DVDs. So she...

14 Year Old Thinks Rules Too Strict - NO MORE RESPONSES PLEASE. THANKS for ALL!

My 14 year old daughter seems to think a few of my rules are too strict. So, she asked me if I’d get the opinion of other mothers – particularly those I don’t know personally – and who have daughters her age. The rules she disagree with are as followed: My daughter can only attend two outings per month. Note: This includes things like going to the movies, hanging out at the mall, birthday parties, etc. This also includes spending the night away from home. My daughter thinks she should be allowed to do more each month and...

Cute Things to Do at a "Care Bear" Party?

My daughter is turning 4 and really wants a Care Bear birthday party. I usually throw big themed parties but they aren't usually a character thing. We've done a pirtate party and did a big treasure hunt, hired clowns this past June for my 10 year old, etc. but I'm at a loss for a care bear party. She has about 15 stuffed care bears that I can use somehow and beyond that, I'm looking at cake and ice cream, lol. Help me come up with some creative/cute ideas? Her party will be on the 23rd of this month.
