I lost my best friend yesterday…

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

So this is my tribute to Mickey, my beagle and best friend for the past 13 years.

You always greeted me with a wagging tail when I walked in the door- I’ll miss that very much. Glad to see me, no matter what.

You asked so little yet gave so much. A shot at rooting through the kitchen garbage once in a while made you very happy. Your dog biscuits at 10 every morning were a daily ritual. And you’d tell me when it was 10 and time. A short little bark to say it was time to go outside, and we’d go. Your nose to the ground and tail pointed skyward, you knew every smell. And I knew how much you loved those walks.

You helped teach my children how to be gentle and kind. You never hurt anyone, loved everyone that came through the door. Always asking for a pet or a scratch behind the ear, and whoever gave it to you felt a little calmer and better after they did. I’m going to miss petting those ears and the look of complete contentment you gave.

You’ve been a source of quiet and calm in our busy lives. That look in your eyes that said you trusted and loved us all always made us stop for a second and enjoy that simplicity. Asking almost nothing, yet giving us your heart.

Everyone you met felt a little better after being with you. That’s quite a legacy, my friend.

Thank you, Mickey. I will miss you.

Why a Birthday Party Blog?

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I get way more feedback from parents after their Birthday Party Games Lady party than I can put on my website. I know from talking to my clients that they find this feedback valuable, so I’ve created this blog to share it with my website viewers. It will be organized by the specific party that the feedback refers to or in the ‘Parties’ category where it’s not specific to one particular party. I do hope you find it helpful.

I’ll also be sharing my philosophy about kids’ birthday parties, and sometimes even my philosophy about kids in general. As questions come up from parents that might benefit others, I’ll answer them. Feel free to post questions or comments.

It’s gratifying to help busy parents get through their child’s birthday party smoothly and easily, but the best part is hearing how much fun the kids have. Mine are older now and past these simple pleasures of childhood. I miss it.
