I’m kicking off the holiday weekend early with one of four Four For The Fourth giveaways (aka Operation Clean Out The Giveaway Closet.) Stay tuned for more from Ultreo.com, TinyTagDesigns, and Mudpuppy Friday and Saturday.
We’ve survived the kindergarten party circuit, a social whirlwind that rivals Paris Hilton’s club hopping. I’ve escorted Miss C to a girly girl diva party, a bouncy inflatable jump zone (pray beforehand for no broken bones) party, as well as her own sixth birthday Hannah Montana slash Tinkerbelle slash Princess soiree.
Lisa Khotari is the expert behind Peppers and Pollywogs who has organized hundreds of parties for children of all ages. Her blog features tips for the hottest birthday themes, from High School Musical to Wall-E, the latest Disney/Pixar flick. Khotari helps parents throw the best party for their children with minimal stress. She believes that no matter the budget or amount of time a parent has, an incredible party can always be thrown.
BlondeMomBlog is giving away a signed copy of Khotari’s helpful birthday party resource planner, Dear Peppers and Pollywogs, which addresses such issues as:
- How much should we spend on party presents?
- What happens when my kid invites 50 guests to his party I realize it?
- How do you return the fish your child received as a party favor?

I still have a couple of years before I have to navigate this whole birthday party thing but I can say already that it scares me. These mommies are crazy with these parties!

Okay, so it makes me a little sad that books like this have to exist, but I know it’s a fact of life these days. As long as there are tips for a LOW KEY part I’ll embrace it!

Planning and organizing is the only way to survive multiple kids and then find time to do everything else in between. A planner sounds like a great idea.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my heeler photo. You know, I did not even know about blue heelers until I moved to New Mexico. Now I’ve decided they are wonderful dogs and more people should be aware of the great breed.
I need this book. I’ve only been to one birthday party since the kid was born and now waiting to go to more and throw one myself in the future!

Oh this is so cool. I have kids from 4 to 13 and am always wondering how to navigate this whole thing. It is hard not to compare to other kids’ parties too so this would be great! Thanks!
What an awesome sounding book! Count me in!

This is a great idea for a book – Kicker’s not even 6 months old yet, and I’ve already been told by my in-laws that he must have a big luau for his first birthday, because it’s tradition in Hawaiian culture.
Channahs last blog post..Wonderspot is giving away a trip to BlogHer!
