One successful weekend. Sunshine, good company and a fun time had by all. Pocket is officially five.For a few weeks I practiced recipes to ensure I had the right mixture for the deep baking tin I had bought to make a Barbie doll cake. Finally mastering it to perfection thank goodness. Friday night came, and with the innies all sitting round for a few beverages, I headed into the kitchen and stood with a blank expression. You see, I'd spend copious amounts of time worrying about the baking of the cake, but had no clue how I was going to execute the decorating of it.So, I got a man in. The Bloke, thankfully home now from his week away fire training (I'm now officially married to a vo

Ok, so this weekend will be Pocket's 5th birthday. Yikes. I can't believe it. Five already. They say kids grow too fast and I'm certainly feeling that way this last few weeks as I'm growing to accept the idea that my baby is starting school.The most fun part about birthdays for me is creating the cakes. This year Pocket is having a 'Barbie' party. By 'Barbie' party it's basically Barbie invites, Barbie cups (with plain pink plates because I am too cheap to buy 'theme' everything), and the piece de resistance - Barbie cake. Every little girl should have one once in her lifetime - right? I mean I did, well, it wasn't Barbie herself, b

Yesterday was by daughters 12th birthday. 12th!!!!! Time goes so fast. Has it really been nealy 13 years since we though the world would end with y2k!? It really doesn't seem that long ago, yet so much has happened in that time. She is growing into a gorgeous young lady (time to hunt out the shotgun me thinks! :P) and is really starting to grow up. Tonight we are having a sleepover. Thankfully only 2 friends are staying as the other two she invited were unable to make it. On this over (we don't usually call them sleepovers, as they don't usually sleep :P) we are having pizza and movies. I've just taken the choc mud cupcakes out of the oven, and its very nearly t

Pocket is starting school in term one when school goes back. These last three weeks she's been having school visits, and as you can imagine, most of the children who will be starting on day one with her have birthdays around about the same time.I'm feeling a bit miffed though, that today, someone whose birthday falls on Christmas Eve (bum date, I know), has decided to move the child's party forward - to POCKETS PARTY DATE! Grrrrrrrr. How dare they! And what's worse, they gave out the invites today! TODAY for goodness sake. Pocket has been asking and hounding about when we will give out the invites, and I told her we'd do it next week because at least it will be Decem

I'm supposed to be donning my bikini this morning. It's a friends birthday (yes, I have one and one only) and she was planning on going to the Lost Spring for the morning. As cruddy old Murphy would have it though - she's sick. Poor thing. Of all days to get sick! And her two year old is home sick too so what a great birthday she's going to have - not!I've already organised the morning off, and for our afternoon office lady to come in to cover for me, so I rang The Bloke and told him I'd have the day off anyway. So, I really need something to show for it, so I've decided to do some boring things like the grocery shopping and perhaps do the windows and throw

Well 7 weeks ago I blogged about my nervousness about my daughters party, well she had it yesterday and you were right no reason to be worried....We had 17 turn up along with an additional 6 sibs, We had it at my husbands work place (gm of a pub/restaurant) we had a pizza party and lots of games in their outside area, the weather was awesome (too good got a little sun burnt lol) the kids seemed to be happy and time flew past, We set up a table for the adults with some pizza and a few bottles of wine and soft drinks and 9 stayed and played too, which was awesome, it was great for me and my husband to meet so many mums and dads when they were dropping off and picking up (finally knowing names)

Well, my daughter is turning 7 in October and for some reason I'm really nervous...We have been here in NZ for almost a year, and she has settled in so well Im so proud of her, she has made a few friends which is awesome, but she wants a party for her birthday so we are having a pizza party at a local restaurant and she can invite up to 20 of her friends, this is where the problem lies im really nervous that not many will want to come, she still is the new girl and a lot of the mums and dads and children know each other really well and over the last few weeks there has been lots of parties and she hasn't been invited, and i understand why, shes new, there are a limited amount of ch

Okay, so as my Kidspot friends well know (and thanks for the lovely birthday wishes by the way! xxx);it was my birthday yesterday...Now I am not big on celebrating my own birthday with a big party, presents and what not... for goodness sake, once you reach my age it seems a bit silly! However, I do like the way we celebrate birthdays in the MumBum Family;The birthday girl/boy gets to chose breakfast for everyone, lunch of their choice, dinner of their choice and then I usually make a sickly, deathly chocolate (sometimes banana chocolate) cake... for the kids, we usually plan an outing of some kind or if we're at home, they get to pick the movies and activities of the day. For the adults

| 21st Presents

My oldest is turning 21 in about a months time and i'm stuck on what to get him for a 21st birthday present.What is given now days? Mr20 is the eldest of his friends and the oldest grandchild on both sides so I haven't been to a 21st in years. When I was turning 21 a ring was given but I can't see him wearing one. My brother also hired a hall and had a D.J and us girls had babies and just had a party at home. Mr 20 is also having a Bbq at home with friends and family and he's also got his pregnant fiancee to think about.Now I was thinking along the lines of a nice pendant or braclet (man style of course).So, what were you given by your parents for a 21

Well I'm nearly ready! The cake is made, the bunting has been hung up. I have made paper pinwheels and paper pompoms, wrapped the presents and found a card. The house is tidy and the cleaning up to date - all that's left to do is to ice the cake.... hopefully that will be done before midnight :P (and maybe I'll put a bottle of wine in the fridge to chill)
