Throwing A Fun And Frugal Birthday Party

We're having a birthday party for our daughter that's coming up and we've got it all planned out. Homemade pasta or pizza will be on the menu with a homemade cake for dessert.

You'd be surprised how little time it takes to whip this up; even if you're not into cooking. There are so many other frugal recipes that you can choose from. The key is to keep it simple and cost effective.

For entertainment we have my husband booked to entertain as a clown; he doesn't even have to dress up - LOL. OK, seriously we are going to have bubbles, balloons, charades and pin the tail on the donkey. Kids love these activities and they're cheap to put together.

You see how you can let your imagine run wild; tweaking the types of activities based on age.

I've knit a blanket as a present for my daughter with her favorite symbol, of course, the peace sign. We're also giving her some "get out of your chores for free" coupons. We think she'll cash those in pretty quick.

There are many

easy homemade gift ideas that you can come up with. And you know what, putting something together from your heart goes a long way!

I've gifted homemade cookies of various designs put together in a nicely decorated box.
