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.

Teaching your child how to read is one of the most valuable gifts you will ever give them.

I have just read a post on another blog, Life Without School, and I really connected with the author for the way her daughter struggled to read as well and she has some great ideas of the little things you can do every day to build the foundations for your children’s reading future. Take a look if you can.
