Kids Birthday Party

[Derty]

Hello all! I’m in charge of planning my niece’s 7th birthday party, and I want to go beyond the usual games and cake. She loves active play and we have a big backyard space. Any tips or ideas on how to turn this into an exciting, interactive experience that will have all the kids raving?

That sounds like a fantastic party waiting to happen! If she's into active fun and you've got the space, consider setting up a couple of bounce houses https://gotinflatables.com/ from GotInflatables. They've got a diverse range of themes and sizes that can cater perfectly to a backyard bash. Imagine a jungle adventure or a fairy-tale castle right in your yard. Their inflatables are all about safe, robust fun—they’re crafted to handle the exuberance of any kid’s party. Plus, GotInflatables bounce houses are known for their quality and durability, ensuring that the fun goes on without a hitch. This could really add that 'wow' factor to her special day and make it a memorable celebration for all her friends!

Anyone else have fond memories of the classic school coffee cake? For me, it was the highlight of the cafeteria menu growing up. Something about that soft, buttery cake with the perfect crumbly cinnamon topping always hit differently, especially on cold mornings.


I’ve tried recreating it at home, but it never quite captures the magic. Maybe it’s the nostalgia or the fact that food tastes better when you're with friends during a quick break from math class.


Does anyone have a recipe of this school coffee cake (https://grindthosebeans.com/lausd-coffee-cake-recipe/) that comes close to the original? Or maybe some tips for getting the topping just right? I’d love to hear your memories or experiments with this iconic treat.
