"Scrooge" Theme Party Ideas

My son's 5th birthday is coming up and the theme he chose this year is "Scrooge", as in Ebenezer. He has a fascination with Christmas movies. While I don't go all out in terms of carrying out the theme or spending tons of money, I try to work the theme into the party and could use some help with ideas. Most of my ideas are money related. I thought about making a cake shaped like a sack of money, but am open to other easy ideas. I am going to buy coin-shaped candies for the goodie bags. I plan to serve carrot "coins" and sliced turkey...

Holy Smokes Batman! a $200K Cell Phone Bill!!!

I just saw this on-line and thought to myself - HOLY SMOKES BATMAN!!! A higher than usual phone bill can leave anyone stunned. And when Celina Aarons got a jaw-dropper for more than $200,000, it was no mistake. The Florida woman has a plan that usually costs her $175 a month. She includes two of her brothers on it, who are deaf and mute, and use smart phones extensively for texting and communicating more easily. "He's a sweetheart, and he goes to college and I would do anything for him," she told WSVN television of her brother Shamir...

Upcoming Baby Shower

I will be hosting a baby shower in a few months and haven't given or been to one in a long while. I would greatly appreciate some suggestions or ideas from ones that you've attended lately. Do the quirky games still get played? Any helpful ideas, game ideas, scheduling tips, etc., etc., would be wonderful! Thanks Moms!

The Sports Question

When my son was very young he was somewhat uncoordinated. He tried t-ball and soccer, but did not enjoy himself. By about second grade he started to become more interested in sports and his abilities greatly improved. A year ago, in fourth grade, he wanted to play fall baseball. He loved it, and he was one of the best hitters, pitchers, and fielders on the team. He played again in the spring. He still had fun, but had an almost all season batting slump, and was no longer a starting pitcher. He had reached a plateau, while other kids...

Little Girl Who Loves Thomas the Tank Engine NOT Baby Dolls or Princesses

I need a little "Mommy Wisdom". Our daughter is two and a half and loves to read, play with stuffed animals, and adores Thomas the Tank Engine. She was introduced to Thomas by chance. She noticed a book at the library lying on the table and we read it. She has been hooked ever since. She has a small train set and adores playing with it, reading the Thomas books, and seeing the occasional Thomas video. All was great until she was invited to a neighbor's 3rd birthday party. It was Princess Extravaganza party which was lovely. Of...
