BABY DIARIES | 11 Months PLUS Local Resources for Planning a Birthday Party

I can hardly believe it, but Easton is 11 months old now, which means that I’m in the middle of planning his FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY. How fun! In my planning I’ve been gathering some great local resources for putting together kids’ parties, so I thought I’d share…

Smart & Final

Smart and Final is a quick and less expensive stop for all types of food service items. Here you can find decorative plastic plates, serving dishes, utensils and cups. They also have a good selection of tablecloths and napkins!

So keep these places in mind the next time you’re planning your kid’s birthday party…
