Mia’s 6th Birthday Playdate at ActiveFun Ayala Malls the 30th

March 3, 2019 By Kathleen Leave a Comment

Last year, Mia chose to have a playdate with her classmates to celebrate her 6th birthday. I had to plan quick – we did not have much time to prepare for it since we had just returned from our US vacation at that time.

I contacted ActiveFun in Ayala Malls the 30th since this branch was nearest Mia’s school. I asked for their packages and I was glad their packages included food and play already for the kids – no need to book a caterer separately!

I organized the playdate in just a week (whew!) :

finalized the food, play tickets with ActiveFun
bought giveaways and loot bag items (I had some extra goodies from our US trip)
invited Mia’s classmates and their guardians
printed activity sheets and play date rules for the kids

On the weekend before her play date, Mia helped me in printing out loot bag label stickers, packing the loot bags and making sure all of her classmates had one goody bag filled with treats and trinkets.

On the day itself, we headed to Ayala Malls the 30th and the girls had soooo much fun!

Kiddie Parties: Fast-food chain, restaurant, or play place?

August 16, 2017 By Kathleen Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I last posted. Sorry! Things have been very busy here in our home – went on a trip, planning another one, work and back-to-school.

It’s nearing the fourth quarter of the year again, and for our family it means the kids are going to have their birthdays again. We do not hold big parties every year, my husband and I amicably settled that we would only have big celebrations on specific milestones, like baptism, 1st birthday, 7th, and 18th. Last year, we were blessed enough to hold Mika’s 1st birthday party at Kidzooona Uptown mall and a lot of our guests told us they enjoyed the party. This year, we are just thinking about a small gathering of family for each of the girls’ special day – however, the ate who’s turning 5 this year, is requesting to have a “play date” with her friends and classmates. We did not promise her anything, but I am really thisclose to giving in and start planning (sorry, love). Now, for small gatherings (husband please read: NOT PARTY), I need to weigh what’s our best option. Is it a fast-food chain like McDonald’s, Jollibee, a restaurant like Kenny Rogers or Shakey’s, or a place play like Kidzooona again or Active Fun?

How about you – what do you prefer? I’m gathering and researching currently- I’ll keep you moms posted. Hope you’re having a super week!
