Party Ideas



Did anyone else pick up a copy of Good Things for Kids - Summer Edition? It's one of the mini-mags that Martha Stewart puts out from time to time. I'm still looking for something to fill the hole that Martha Stewart Kids left when they shut down, so I was happily suprised to see this magazine. And it's especially timely because it's all about parties, and August is a double-birthday month at my house. My kids are enjoying the magazine as much as I am.

My favorite ideas after my first read:


Paper-wrapped tea sandwiches. A more sophisticated version of these would be darling at a bridal/baby shower as well.


Butterfly straws. Lovely.


Mini-balloon garland. I love this.

I love the garland, I can't wait for an excuse to use that. Are there such things as mini balloons, my cheeks hurt just thinking about blowing up that many water balloons.

Does anyone know why they stopped Kids? It was my all time favorite magazine and the only one I couldn't bear to tear sheets from. Maybe they were before their time? I keep hoping they will come back. I would pay A LOT per issue.

the only thing of mine my husband has ever thrown away was a stack of magazines in an ill-fated housecleaning while I was out of town, a little before our last move, including *sob* most of my MS Kids mags.

These little good things issues have made me happy: a "blue" birthday party next week for a little darling who chose to have a "pink" birthday party when the party issue originally came out.

and, answering, I bought 2 this week: one at Target and one at Giant (a grocery store). In both cases, by the checkouts, not on the magazine aisle

Love it! And we have 2 birthdays this month, so it's great timing for me.
