Try a riesling (to go with yellow or fruity cakes) or a dessert zinfandel (to go with chocolate). A sparkling shiraz also might be nice, simply since you will be outside. What Beverages Should I Serve at a Cake Party? Good Questions |

Yes, leepert- hate the pooled water in glasses. I think those tethers are sort of clever, but at $12.99 for only 4, it seems a little pricey. Plus, in the time I'd spend fooling with it to get the glass in place, I could just wash it by hand. Tether Your Glassware For Dishwasher Survival |

When I had my son, only one person brought us food. We were shocked, actually, and very lucky that my mom flew out to help us. While she was there she made comfort foods like king ranch chicken and pasta dishes. Warm, caloric foods were what I craved. Tips for Making a Meal for a New Mom |

I think it depends upon they type of party and whether other parents are dropping off, but a general rule might be if the child is old enough to sleep over at a friend's house, then he is old enough to be dropped off at a party?

I think avoiding the use of unnecessary plastics, especially throw-away ones like baggies, is the best way to go. That said, I'm not going to throw out all of my tupperware containers (which are reuseable) and buy all new food containers. I think it's all about moderation- use what you have now, and when it wears out, make an informed choice when purchasing replacements. Plastic-Free Food Storage Alternatives |

I have done binders like judydanielle. I got some cute, inexpensive ones at Target an slip the art pieces into page protectors. I also got a large bulletin board to hang in my son's room so he can choose pieces to display on his "artboard." Strategies for Storing Kids Artwork Over the Years Good Questions |
