It’s a new year with new resolutions. Two of my main resolutions are to celebrate more (living a life full of gratitude regardless of my circumstances) and to blog more often too. That said, I thought a great way to start the year would be with a ‘Back to School’ party. As happy as I am to be back in the school routine, and having more time to myself, these weren’t our main reasons for\u00a0celebrating. We\u00a0were\u00a0thankful for our summer holiday and that\u00a0we have the privilege of good education here in New Zealand.\u00a0We invited a bunch of friends and their kids over for a BBQ style dinner (I say ‘BBQ style’ cause we don’t actually own\u00a0a BBQ)\u00a0To my surprise nearly all of them came. Around 15 Adults and 20 children in total – never have we had that many children in our house at once. But we were prepared. We set up a few stations with various types of toys, had a movie playing and a craft table were the kids made tags for their school bags.<\/p>\n

Then just to make it a little extra special I set up a drinks and dessert station. We simply used things that we already had\u00a0in our house, and guests\u00a0contributed salads and drinks\u00a0so this was a very low cost party.<\/p>\n
