Birthday Party

Art Barn ATX specializes in the ULTIMATE Kid’s Birthday Parties. Art Barn ATX knows kids want to have fun, be creative, and use their imagination, so that is exactly what their parties are. Their party packages are full of options for boys and girls, young and older. 

And the Best Birthday Party Ever-Series continues!

We love having our kids’ birthday parties at home AND supporting local businesses at the same time. Whether it’s a humongous bounce house and slide in the backyard, a magical magician in the house, a pizza baking party, a fun foam party, or – like last weekend – a Dunk Tank Dunking Booth!

Read more about the fun and learn how your kids can play for 4 days for the price of 4 hours!

And another “Best birthday party ever!” in the books. I’m very good at throwing the best birthday parties ever, if I may say so myself. This time, we had 6 girls over for a party and sleepover. Those 6 plus our 2 daughters, makes 8 girls ages 6-9. (Yes, there is a girl with a black bucket on her head. She likes to do things like that.)

After researching the awesome Live Grow Play Austin Kids Directory (which I created and manage myself – patting myself on the back), I decided to go with a foam party provided by Freedom Fun.

Do you believe in magic? I do. I always have. And - I am fascinated with magicians. My husband smiled at me with a “I-wonder-who-has-more-fun”-smile when I took the girls to their first magic show and got them a magician box for their birthday (and he’s right, I secretly play with it when they’re at school - just kidding).

So, I was very excited to have Austin’s wonderful magician Peter the Adequate come to my daughter’s birthday party. I had seen his show before and I knew the kids would love his show. And they did. Read our review and take advantage of two special discounts just for Live Grow Play Austin readers.

This Mom just won the “Best Mom Ever-Award” for throwing the “Best Birthday Party Ever” for our now 5-year old! 
I must say, it feels good to be the Best Mom Ever, and I’ve been using this award a few times since the birthday party, as a reminder when things weren’t going that great.

Best thing about it? The birthday party was at our house. Read how I pulled it off and how you can enter to win an awesome bounce house for your little one's party.

There's a new place in town. An absolutely awesome place. In fact, it's a parents' and kids' dream.

Check out the Almost Grown Play Cafe and Coffee Bar, a mix of indoor play area and family cafe where you can sit comfortably with a cup of coffee while your little ones go wherever their imagination takes them! Read on.

Did you miss the Ice Cream Festival this weekend? No worries. There are over 96 ice cream and frozen yogurt places – not including fast food restaurants – in and around Austin that’ll help you be your kids’ best friend in this never-ending summer heat. Find one near you....

It's her birthday again? Feels like it was just yesterday that we all ran around in Ninja Turtle costumes battling petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated animals, and alien invaders while attempting to remain hidden from the party-poopers who didn't want to play with us. What are we going to do this year? Geez, and who's going to plan the whole thing?
