Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden

The Dancing Wings Butterfly garden  is part of The National Museum of Play...its always a favorite summer spot for us

There is a $4 fee in addition to the Museum cost-under 2 its FREE- but its so worth it!

Enter a lush rain-forest environment and walk among approximately 1,000 brilliantly-colored, free-flying tropical and native butterflies that flutter about. A paved path leads guests through tropical foliage, a turtle pond, and a cascading waterfall. A few other four legged critters are there too.

there was some sweet nectar on the shower puff -this guy was on here for a good five minutes.

And if your REALLY Lucky!!!--

Labor Day- What it Means

It's Labor Day  again, the holiday that signifies the end of a long hot summer, and a chance for one last trip to the beach. For most , it will be the big grill-out on Saturday, with friends and neighbors, lots of hamburgers, ribs, fried chicken and beer.

Labor Day weekend is also the chance to pick up a few last minute bargains before the stores put away their summer stock in favor of fall clothing and holiday items; for many children, it means that school has started again. So just what is it we're supposed to be celebrating?

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength and well being of our country.

For MY FAMILY is a mix celebration because its my DH and I wedding anniversary and its my sons 7th birthday!!

#CreativityforKids party

I was thrilled and so was my daughter to find out I was picked to host a   Creativity  for  Kids through MomSelect !!
 Let me first start out by sending a HUGE 

~~~~THANK-YOU~~~~

for the WONDERFUL party kit!!! 

Before the party I went and check out  Creativity for Kids on-line...I'd seen a few of the items from the line in stores but I wanted to learn a little more--I was very impresses while reading their mission statement-
Our mission is to provide children with experiences that
 stimulate and encourage their natural creativity.

Looking over ALL the great products they have I can see why on their boxes they put for ages 4- 94 
~LOL~
I saw this spa set
 that might be on someones Christmas list this year.

Back to the party--The kit was jammed packed!Kept the girls busy for hours! Most of the girls in the neighborhood love art & crafting  actives and the few who really don't think of themselves as artiest thought each project was very fun.   Every girl went home with the great COLORING & ARTIVITY Book!!

The party set up

Busy gals creating masterpieces

They got very creative with the rings--even used some of the stickers from the bags and added those with gems!

The girls even made an extra pop cap necklaces for me and my Son made one too.

Many of the girls were really excited to got home and have their  Mom's help 

 them sign up for the Creativity Club. 

Keep an eye open for my 12 days of Christmas Gifts coming in October- this will be a Creativity for Kids basket that any creative child  will love!!!

Gutzy Gear Party

THANKS to MomSelect I was able to host another awesome  party. My neighborhood now has nick-named my place -Pam's Party House!!! =)


With school starting  right around the corner~A Gutzy Gear party~ was a super way to get the kids excited about heading back.











Gutzy Gear has MANY MANY patches but
thereare a few topics that don't have a patch-As the party started I had
the kids drawing with side walk chalk.
Creating their own patch ideals.

  

On the web site there is a place to CREATE you OWN GUTZIES-Here's a few we did

Then we headed in for a little BINGO and Gutzy Dominoes

She won the most games so she got to pick her patch first.

then a few healthy snacks

Showing off all the goodies!!!

Over all I think the party was a huge hit, some of the kids were already talking about swapping out some Gutzies with each other half way through the school year. I think that was what I enjoyed the most about the product. As a Mom I like the face that we don't have to buy EVERY Gutzie out there-the kids can trade and its like a brand new book bag. The only suggestion some of the kids(girls ) had was adding some jewels BLING it out always makes it better. 

  5 out of 5 stars for Gutzy Gear!!!

~WW~ Photo Shop Fun

I'm thinking of printing these out and hanging them like a Warhol .
