I often get asked if I have recommendations for an OC bounce house rental company to which I answer, “Why YES I do!”
Orange County Jumpers has been a longtime friend and sponsor of Tiny Oranges for years, and is actually the only OC bounce house rental company I have ever used because I have been so happy with their jumpers and service!
This post is full of Dr. Seuss 1st birthday party ideas from a mom who recently hosted a Seussical birthday party for her son’s 1st birthday. The ideas are sooo cute I am excited to share. Here is what she wrote…
Recently I went on the hunt for gymnastics party favors ideas for our gymnastics themed birthday party for my oldest daughter. We ended up doing the easiest DIY hair ties for girls, which was an inexpensive project I wanted to share.
Kids party favors are somewhat of a pet peeve of mine because they often seem like such a waste on kids! I do, however, love a party favor that can be put to use. What little girl couldn’t use more hair ties for her ponies and buns?
I remembered seeing this post by Tera Rae Stephens on how to make your own hair ties and I thought, ding, ding, ding, we have a winner for our gymnastics party.
The gymnastics party had a patriotic theme, so we knew we wanted to go with red, white and blue for the hair ties. After three trips to three different Joann’s with no luck, I happened to pop into Jenny’s Fabrics in Fountain Valley where we found our elastic mecca. Every color you could imagine, including a SPARKLY gold for a gold medal hair tie.
Emma and I were so excited…
As mamas, we can kiss scraped knees, bandage minor cuts, give extra cuddles and run for the iced boo boo pack for owies. But, helping your kids cope with doctor anxiety? That can be a toughie.
When a trip to your favorite pediatrician is in order (sometimes I swear I need a “frequent visit” card punch) it can cause stress for everyone involved. Does anybody else’s kids freak out when you mention a doctor’s visit? Well, mine do.
Recently, I was sitting in my daughter’s gymnastics class lounge chatting with the other moms, and this very topic came up. Turns out, each one of our girls had different fears about the doctor and all of us shared what worked.
It was all such great advice…girlfriend to girlfriend, mom to mom…that I thought I’d compile it and share with all of you! So, in no particular order, here’s our two cents. I very much hope you find these tips handy in helping your kids cope with doctor anxiety.
