I’ve thrown a couple of good kids’ parties in my time. My friend Krista, on the other hand, has thrown a ton of AMAZING themed kids’ parties, and over the years has generously shared her ideas here on This Mom Loves. (One has become my most-pinned Pinterest post!) Today I’m providing a roundup of links […] Read more…
My friend Krista has done it again! This time she organized a super fun “Amazing Race” themed party for her daughter’s birthday. If you’re not a fan of the show, the details may be a bit confusing…but if your family does enjoy watching, it might be a great party theme to consider! Colour Scheme: Red […] Read more…
My friend Krista is back with a brand-new party idea, perfect for the little scientist in your house – male or female! She did this one for her younger daughter’s 7th birthday. There were a few stations set up outside as the kids arrived, such as quicksand, magnets/electricity, specimens in jars, and magic goo. When […] Read more…
Over the years, I’ve shared several party themes here at This Mom Loves (with LOTS of help from my themed-party-planning friend, Krista!) For some reason it seems like the birthday party season ramps up in spring, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share a roundup of different party ideas. My First […] Read more…
A couple of weeks ago we held Maggie’s fourth birthday party at our neighbourhood Loblaws. It was a PC Cooking School Birthday Party, and the kids had an absolute blast!

Guess what? This party theme post is NOT brought to you by my friend Krista…I actually did it myself! Wait! Don’t leave! I think I did a pretty decent job. The three year old guest of honour loved it, so what else matters, really? Keep reading to see how I pulled off the Butterfly Party, […] Read more…
I’m back again with another party plan from my creative friend Krista. This theme idea could work for whatever the birthday girl’s or boy’s favourite colour happens to be, but the examples here all work with the colour purple. (Not to be confused with the movie, which is not appropriate for young children!) Here are some […] Read more…
Thanks to my friend Krista, I bring you today the latest instalment in her party theme series: The Rock Star Party! Decorations At her daughter’s party, there was a stage with flashing lights, and each guest’s name was on a star on the backdrop. There are lots of decorating options when working with a ‘star’ […] Read more…
Welcome to the next installment of Krista’s Perfect Parties! Today I’m filling you in on the “Jumping Party” she threw for her oldest daughter’s 5th birthday. The activities: A bouncy castle (of course) with a princess theme. Trampoline Hopscotch Jumping beans (which were apparently very hard to find, but so cool to see – they […] Read more…
Guess what? This party is actually mine, and not credited to my party-planning friend Krista! (In case you missed it, she brought us The Polka Dot Party and The Pajama Party, with more themes on the way!) Since Frannie is starting school in September, I decided to have a little get-together for the five girls who […] Read more…
