When it comes time for planning your child’s birthday, which type of party do you prefer, an at-home party or a destination party? Which do the kids prefer? I want your opinions!

Below, you’ll find two polls: The first is for parents who currently have young children, the second is for people without children, parents of older/grown children, or the kids themselves. I want all of your opinions.

Note: If you like to alternate, what type of party you do year-to-year, feel free to make any explanations in the ‘why’ sections.

If this piece gets picked up for print, I’ll let you know when and where you can find it. Thanks so much for your help!


    At-home vs. Destination Parties: The parent perspective
    (If you currently have young children, then this is the poll for you)!


    At-home vs. Destination Parties: For kids and kids at heart
    (If you have older children, you were/are a kid, then this is the poll for you)!

 
It's safe to say that we have official progress happening! I am thrilled to share with you that my first article for Simply Family Magazine is in the January edition of the magazine. You can access it online at www.simplyfamilymagazine.com or if you're in the area, you can snag a copy (for free, no less) at the local libraries and at various locations around town. My article can be found on page 31. 

I don't have anything slated for the February edition, but you can (hopefully) look for my work again in March and April. 

With my Examiner.com column cruising along and kicking off the New Year with my first article to be on actual paper, I'd say we're off to a good start.
