In order to organise a Great Children’s Birthday Party you need to plan everything well in advance and this includes making the home made cake! A cake made by you especially for your Son or Daughter will really make them happy, there is just something extra special when you go to the effort of making it for them.

Don’t panic if you are not a world class baker or if you failed at your last cake decorating venture. I am going to share with you how to decorate a birthday cake that will make your kids say WOW!

If you want to take great photographs of your Children’s Birthday Party there are a few rules to follow so you can capture the essence of the day and not end up with a full memory card or roll of film that is out of focus and shot a second behind the action.

Photographing children, especially in a party environment can be especially challenging because children have lots of energy and a short attention span, this combination can be the kiss of death when it comes to taking pictures.

So, how do you capture great pictures of your Children’s Birthday Party?

Firstly, do not be distracted by the other things going on in the room.

As a new parent, having a sick baby is very worrying. But it worries me as much when I hear people questioning themselves about over reacting and not wanting to trouble the doctor. The bottom line is when we start as new parents we have very little experience and you don’t want to make a mistake with your new baby’s health so always make sure you get them checked out properly. Remember, there is no such thing as over reaction when it comes to a sick baby.

If you are new to parenting then here are some pointers that may help you determine when to call the doctor. However, if you are TRULY concerned and you need reassurance, call your Doctor, NHS Direct or someone who is qualified to give you medical advice.
