Hi Mommas.  My baby will be turning one in March and I’m thinking how I want to celebrate.Hi Mommas. My baby will be turning one in March and I’m thinking how I want to celebrate. If you think about it, little kids bdays are more for adults. I don’t want it to be about the adults. I want it to be about my boy. I don’t wanna host a party because I don’t wanna prep or clean up, it’s just too much. I want something easy where my little guy can also run around and enjoy himself. Any ideas on a low budget activity? I thought of renting a couple lanes to bowl only for immediate family, but Santiago (my son) will probably get bored fast. Then I thought playground cafe but way overpriced and I’m limited to certain food. Any other suggestions?

We just rented a park district room, access to outside park (lions park in MP) & some indoor games for kids. Pizza, fruit, snacks & just hanging out. It was easy and fit us all, cost effective. depending how many people you have it’ll still be a decent amount of planning
