Oh Pinterest, where were you all those many times I struggled with figuring out my kids’ birthday parties? This is the first year I plan to face birthday parties armed with Pinterest – and I wanted to share with you a collection of the most awesome and delightful inspiring Pinterest ideas I’ve seen.
In the next four weeks in our house we have, in order of birth date: a dog turning 1; a daughter turning 15; and a son turning 8. LOTS of different themes there, right?
Today I’m concentrating on teen girl and 8 year old boy themes, but if any of you have ideas for dog parties (which my kids think is just the best idea EVER) let me know. Emily from The Motherhood just had a dog party recently, so I will definitely be asking her for some ideas.

And how much would they LOVE these:
And these:
Percy Jackson, anyone?
If you start clicking around all the party idea boards, you’ll never stop. Seriously, so brilliant. Here are a few: IHeartNaptime; Abby Fick; Kendra Halterman; MomSpotted; Jennifer Hadfield; Stephanie Dulgarian; Grace Hester; and Vanessa Campbell! I’d love more links, so if you have them, I’ll add them!
Not sure how to settle on any one idea, but having to search around Pinterest to figure it out is SO MUCH FUN!
