Parties

Parties are an important part of life for kids and adults alike! The last thing you want to do at your party is talk about health problems or what you're not eating, so we've had fun planning parties that incorporate the right foods, fun activities and lots of creative ideas that move the party on to the fun stuff! Robin's cookbook, "Food With Friends," is filled with fun appetizers, lots of desserts, beautiful tapas, breads and menus for feeding yourself and groups of friends! Take a look!
As you have discovered, being on a special diet has made you more of a "homemade" person, and that is the same with parties and entertaining. When you do it yourself you have more control over the situation to better meet your needs, and this leads to enjoying life in new ways... who knows? You might become known as the best party giver around! Here's to your good health!

Pirate Party

Picture
Have all kinds of fun at our Pirate Party! Find instructions for easy games, our costume ideas, and a plan for a treasure hunt around the house. Our September
/October edition of "I Want To THRIVE" magazine contains the recipes.

Early Morn' Party

Picture
For some people, Early Morn' is the best time of the day! Serve up a delicious and healthy breakfast, take a hike and maybe have an indoor scavenger hunt. This party won't be forgotten any time soon!

Aloha Party

Picture
Plan an "Aloha Party" after you come back from Hawaii or instead of going to Hawaii! Use it as a theme to welcome summer or to celebrate a hot-weather birthday.

Backwards Party

Picture
No matter how old you are or what the occasion, it's fun to mix things up! You'll all have a good time at our Backwards Party! We did it for Leap Day (February 29th), but any day is perfect.

Party Giving Tips...

Have a definite starting and ending time. Make the party shorter rather than longer. We usually plan for a two hour party.
Play background music to help set the tone and fill the silences.
Picture
If it's a kid's party, don't stand around chatting with the parents. The kids are the important people during this time, so engage with them. If they lose interest it will be hard to get their attention back. You want to start off with a bang and keep it going until the end.

Greet each guest at the door and immediately get them started on some activity or project such as decorating a hat, making an item or discussing a topic that fits your theme. This helps overcome the awkward feeling people have when they arrive at a new place.
We always like to plan one activity that produces something for people to take home. It doesn't have to be grand or expensive... maybe a food item or a hat or craft.
Have more than enough games or activities planned so the party doesn't drag. It's best if your guests are wishing they could stay longer rather than wondering when they get to go home!
Many of the ideas for games we've used for our parties come from the retro book, "Betty Crocker's Parties for Children," 2nd edition, 1964, by Lois Freeman. This is a great old-school resource for anyone planning and giving parties! Even though the games are designed for kids, we've had successful parties for people of all ages using material from this book.
