Great kid parties on the Suncoast!

Loving Pinterest!

It's so much fun to help a customer find a great theme for their upcoming birthday party!  So many wonderful choices here in the Sarasota - Bradenton areas!  Today, one Mom I spoke to is planning a Minion party for her child! Fun!  I helped her find a great bouncehouse - and then hopped over to our Pinterest account to start working up some fun ideas to make the party a complete success!  The bright colors and simple design of Despicable Me lend themselves to a great party!  Do you have an idea?  Call us at Party Jumpes and we'll help you get your party bouncing!  (941) 343-0370.

Springtime Flings!

In Florida, February brings the most glorious weather in the country!  Sitting here on my 80 degree, sunshine filled porch, I'm watching the news cover the blizzard that is quickly approaching my hometown of Boston.  I love where we live!

February also brings a flurry of business to Party Jumpers as people brush off the holiday glitter and get back to the business of birthdays, first communions, and start planning graduation parties!  What fun!  There are so many great sites these days to help with planning....from creative ideas on Pintrest.com and Etsy.com, coordinating on Punchbowl.com, and fun invitations on tinyprints.com or polkadotdesigns.com...there is SO much you can accomplish from the comfort of your couch while catching up on what's going on at Downtown Abbey!

While planning, please remember our local companies here on the Suncoast!  LTM Party Store just relocated to the Publix Plaza on the corner of Honore and Fruitville...the perfect setting to grab all those fun decorations and balloons!  Right around the corner, pick up your cake at A Slice Of Heaven and the rest of your menu for the party at Pizza Srq with a wide catering menu!  Like Party Jumpers, these are all family owned, locally operated small business that really appreciate your business!

You may be celebrating a birthday, a sports victory, or just the fact that it's Sunday....we join you in celebrating our wonderful community and gorgeous weather!

My secret for stress free holidays.....

We love the holidays! The hustle and bustle, family and friends, presents and decorations. I'm the goofball in line next to you at BJ's humming Christmas carols with the eggnog mustache. At our house, the whole family comes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Thanskmas (which is the holiday where everyone who was too busy during the OTHER holidays comes for a big meal and festivities between the two!) Shopping for five kids alone can take a month!

So I totally get that the holiday season can be chaotic and always look for ways to cut down on stress so that we, as parents, can enjoy the holidays with the family. Spending less time in the kitchen for me was a priority, so I look for ways to farm out work there. Who wants to be slaving in the kitchen when I could be playing Just Dance on the Wii??? I've worked to not make everything "perfect" as in the past. I'm just going to leave that up to Martha Stewart...to me perfect would be getting in that epic Nerf battle.

I have another family secret for keeping the holidays stress free. I have a little unfair advantage here. We throw up an inflatable bouncehouse, waterslide, or other great game. At any holiday here at the house, there are a MINIMUM for 8-12 kids ranging in age from 5-15 years old. That's alot of kids in a house that is not huge. And ALOT of energy. Depending of the weather, I throw something up outside to keep them occupied and happy! The key is to divide by ages...the little girls (5-10 years old) will just don't play as rough as the boys...so we have other activities to keeps people happy while waiting for their turn. This Thanksgiving it was tablecloth decoration (with fabric markers) and gingerbread house making! The teenagers needs space too. We make sure that they get time on all the fun inflatables. The hidden beauty is that the adults get a minute to enjoy a quiet conversation (or a fun game of charades) while we watch the kids have the time of their lives.

The holidays are precious times - and I'm so grateful for the memories we have made as a family here in Sarasota. Here's a wish that your holiday season may be filled with wonder, laughs, and love.
