I’ve always ‘had a thing’ for the children’s author Maurice Sendak. I remember choosing him for an assignment when I was at Teachers Training College. There is something about the ‘wild rumpus’, ‘king of all kings’ and not to forget nudey Mickey in the ‘Night Kitchen’. Maurice Sendak passed away in 2012 leaving us with fabulous books like Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen. He also leaves us with a beautiful quote from one of his last interviews; “I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them. They leave me and I love them more.” Another great quote from Sendak and the Wild Things is, ‘I’ll eat you up I love you so,” and when I saw this awesome party from Christchurch mum Jen I wanted to eat it up I loved it so!

Children love dressing up and ‘scary’ things so Halloween appeals to kids. Halloween is celebrated on the 31st October. Trick-or-treating, costumes, Jack-o-Lantern, bonfires, apple bobbing, haunted houses and halloween parties are becoming more and more popular in New Zealand. If you needed a reason to throw a party in October then Halloween could be your answer! Perhaps your October birthday child would love a Halloween themed party! That’s just what Renata did for her 6 year old Daniel.

Angela made a fabulous job of her little boys first birthday by using one of his favourite books as inspiration. Angela has a real eye for putting together party details.

Check out how Angela has used some Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric to create some party centre pieces.

What fun and enthusiastic parents Danielle and Mikey are? They created a jungle dance party for their gorgeous girl Audrey. A fitting party from my old London friends.

I love how the whole family transform their home into a jungle disco complete with UV lighting and fluroscent paper.
