How to R A FE P
You’ve planned the games, chosen
a cake and shopped for party favors. Then it comes—an RSVP from a classmate with an allergy. According to FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), 1 in 13 kids have a food allergy. What’s the best way to accommodate guests with food allergies and still plan the perfect party? Parents want party hosts to know they don’t expect the whole event to revolve around accommodating their child. Here are their tips for creating a fun, safe party for all without it becoming a burden.
The Most Supportive Thing Hosts Can Do Moms of kids with food allergies agree the best way to make them feel at ease is to inquire about dietary restrictions when sending out the invitation.
8 • SanDiegofamily.com • Party Guide 2018
Jenn Williamson of San Carlos, whose 11-year-old daughter has a peanut allergy says, “It lifts a weight and lets me know that the host is more approachable. I feel comfortable talking with those parents knowing they’re aware of food allergies and are openminded about discussing it.” Tiffany Hinton, mom to three girls with severe food allergies and blogger of Gluten Free Mom Certified, says, “When someone asks if there are any food restrictions, it allows me to be an advocate for my children, share information to dispel myths and help keep them safe.”
Before the Party Kids with food allergies are individuals and each family is unique. Be open to communication. Know that parents are grateful for any effort made to include their kids. After sending invitations, expect contact from parents of a child with allergies. A phone call or conversation in person best facilitates clear communication. They may ask what foods you’ll be serving, how the cake will be decorated and if there will be

Party Day
games that include food items (such as a piñata). This lets them know ahead of time what may need to be modified. My 6-year-old daughter has celiac disease and eats only gluten-free foods. With pizza and cake as standard party fare, parties pose a challenge. I usually provide a snack bag with foods that are safe replacements for her. I can even decorate a fancy cupcake to fit the party theme. It helps my daughter feel included and she gets excited for the party when decorating with me. Since one crumb can make her sick for weeks, I prefer to do the baking to make parties fun and safe for her. Susan Lemus, a La Mesa resident whose children have a dairy allergy, recounts a time when a conversation with a party host helped tremendously. The original plan was to take the girls for ice cream sundaes after a movie and provide a special cookie for Lemus’ daughter. “I don’t want to make it hard on the parents. I really want my kids to feel just like everyone else.” After speaking to Susan, the host better
When a food-allergic guest arrives, review how you’ll handle food safety. Even kids who are old enough to be dropped off need this reassurance. Make sure you understand the child’s needs or ask the parent for clarification. If it puts you more at ease, ask parents to stick around. Ask for a contact phone number in case of an emergency. If an Epi-pen is necessary, parents will train the host or stay at the party. Williamson reviews the steps with hosts before dropping her daughter off at a party. And since her daughter is older, she feels comfortable knowing her tight-knit group of friends looks out for her.
How to Keep Party Food Safe Instead of big bowls of chips and pretzels that invite cross-contamination (a problem for kids with nut and gluten allergies), use individually wrapped bags. One of the kindest things a friend did was set up a table at her daughter’s party that included only gluten-free foods. My daughter could safely eat anything at the party and I didn’t worry about cross-contamination. Allow party guests to use the kitchen to prepare food they brought. Include non-food items as prizes and party favors. Allergy-free bakeries are fairly common now. Try 2Good2B Bakery & Café in Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo (https://2good2b.com) or Starry Lane Bakery in Hillcrest (www.starrylanebakery.com). While celebrating with friends is lots of fun, parties can be a real challenge for parents of kids with allergies. Going the extra mile to create a normal party experience for their children is a gift of kindness that is greatly appreciated. v Cherie Gough is a local freelance writer and mom of two.

There’s nothing more enchanting than a celebration with fairies, elves and pixies poking mischief around every corner. Here are some outstanding locals to help bring your fairy celebration—big or small—to life.
Storybook Gardens www.storybookgardensd.com Using upcycled materials and water-wise plants, Storybook Gardens brings the enchantment of fairy gardening to your event.

bubbly personality. Got boys? She tailors parties so that children can add farm and construction vehicles instead of traditional fairy sparkle to their garden, if desired. For parties with 10 kids or fewer, Melissa will host your gathering in her beautiful backyard in Carmel Valley. She’ll
lead your fairies on a nature exploration, hunt for objects to include in their miniature storybook land and have children write an imaginative description of their gardens. Storybook Gardens is affordable and travels to events throughout the county. Melissa is patient and creative, and has a background in education.
Curious Gardens at Myrtle Creek Botanical Gardens www.discovermyrtlecreek.com The recently-renovated Curious Gardens at Myrtle Creek in Fallbrook is a
wonderland come to life. Offering the largest fairy garden workshop in the country, Curious Gardens is a 5,000-square-foot Southern Plantation-style house with indoor/outdoor spaces surrounded by blossoms, butterflies and birds. Upon entering Curious Gardens, the $5 entrance fee is converted to “Curious Cash” which can be used toward the purchase of fairy garden items. Choose from plants, moss, soil, rocks and thousands of figurines. A garden designer is available to help with planting and answer questions. The interactive workshop is a creative way for children and parents to create lasting memories. Reservations encouraged. If holding your own festivities in this delightful natural setting, Curious Gardens will include food, tables and chairs, a fairy garden workshop, and access to Happy Goat Mountain (a rescue goat habitat). The grounds include several charming spaces, including the butterfly garden, green house, bird sanctuary and carriage house. Why should kids have all the fun? The venue is perfect for adult gatherings, too. Reserve space in advance for private parties.
Twigs by Teri www.twigsbyteri.com Little pixies will shine in the fairy garden workshops at Twigs by Teri in Encinitas. Held one Sunday each month, workshops are perfect for ages 4 and up. Gather friends, cousins or your Girl Scout troop and create a delicate, miniature world. Classes include instruction, soil, moss, rock, sand, watering mister and a figurine. Bring your own container or purchase one at the shop. Guests receive a discount for additional items purchased on the day of the class. While visiting, enjoy the desert tortoise, chickens, goats and Koi. Call to pre-register as class size is limited. Twigs by Teri also offers fairy garden workshops for private parties. Face painting and pony rides are available for an additional cost. Hosts are welcome to bring food. v Cherie Gough is a local mom and freelance writer. Party Guide 2018 • SanDiegofamily.com •

10 Slumber Party Dos and Don’ts Party ideas for kids to have fun and stay safe
Does
the thought of 10 kids sleeping over at your house stress you out? Do you picture getting zero sleep because you have to deal with said kids all night? Do you picture food, drinks, toys and junk exploding all over your house? You’re not alone. I figured out ways to make a slumber party a great experience for the kids and for me. Learn from the Slumber Party Sensei’s dos and don’ts and take a cue from these party tips.
Don’t
have a slumber party until all the kids are at least 7 years old, can understand/follow rules, communicate well and be away from home without being too homesick. Make sure you get cell phone numbers of all parents and that they will be available, if needed.
Do
find out about any special needs by talking to parents one-on-one. For instance, if a kid wears a Pull-Up overnight and wants it to be kept secret, do all you can to make that happen. And if this is a kid’s first slumber party, you won’t be surprised if he comes to you wanting to go home close to bedtime.
Do
have everyone bring his own pillow and sleeping bag or you will be washing all your
stuff the whole next day. I never have enough pillows for everyone, so they have to use rolled-up towels.
Do
have a game plan for activities, food, etc. Nerf gun wars, crafts, board games and movies work great depending on if you have boys or girls and what their ages are.
Do
set ground rules: No eating outside the kitchen. No sneaking out. No texting after a certain time. In fact, consider collecting all cell phones in a basket at a certain time. They can stay up and watch pre-approved movies (turn the volume down) as long as they want.
Do
make food and drink easy. Pizza is the perfect slumber party food, and if you’re really daring, you can let them build their own (using a pre-made crust, of course—I’m not completely insane!). Clear juice in pouches or boxes is awesome. You’ll have a lot of little people and you don’t want them hopped up on caffeine or spilling soda all over the place. If you have older girls over, you might let them make and decorate cupcakes, as long as they clean up after themselves.
Do
leave the kids alone. They don’t want you hanging around, and this gives you the chance to have a real conversation with your spouse, make calls, do some scrapbooking or start another crazy project (like cleaning out your closet).
Do
check in from time to time because kids are naughty by nature. This is a good time to pretend like you’re a spy. Buy some binoculars. Just kidding!
Don’t
have a tent sleepover in the backyard unless you plan to sleep with them. We tried this for about five minutes once until someone told me two kids were plotting to sneak over to the park across the street in the middle of the night. Trust me, you do NOT want to be “that parent” who loses the kids or lets them run wild in the neighborhood!
Do
have everyone pick up before they go home. v

BIRTHDAY
CAKE
MILKSHAKES
Making milkshakes for kids is so quick and easy—it’s like whipping up a birthday party in minutes. When it comes to authentic birthday cake flavor, you don’t need store-bought cake mix, since it’s actually the store-bought vanilla frosting that triggers the memories. The frosting is also the perfect “glue” to adhere colorful sprinkles to the glasses. The key to a seriously decadent and successful milkshake of any kind—aside from using the best ice cream you can find—is to keep all of your ingredients and equipment chilled until the last minute. Makes 6 mini milkshakes.
Ingredients Sprinkles ¼ cup store-bought vanilla frosting, plus more for glasses ½ cup cold whole milk 6 scoops (3 cups) best-quality vanilla ice cream Pinch of salt
Directions Chill milkshake glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Put a few handfuls of sprinkles onto a small plate and a few tablespoons of frosting onto a separate small plate. Remove the glasses from the freezer and dip the rim of each glass into the frosting, followed by the sprinkles. Set aside.

In a blender, combine milk, remaining frosting, ice cream and salt and process until the ingredients are incorporated and you have a thick milkshake. Serve in the prepared glasses.

When Birthdays Fall on Holidays Tips to create a special celebration for the birthday child For kids who have birthdays on major
holidays such as Halloween, Easter, Christmas or Thanksgiving, there is often nothing more important to them than celebrating their big day separate from the holiday. Birthdays that fall on holidays are often combined with festivities of that occasion for convenience. To help your child have a unique, memorable birthday — and ensure that friends are available to help celebrate — consider these tips.
Timing Have a birthday party before or after the child’s birth date. Some people embrace the idea of a “half birthday”, celebrating exactly six months after the birthday. Many families travel to be together during holidays. If your child’s birthday falls on a major holiday, have a birthday celebration that doesn’t compete with family holiday plans. But consider including out-of-town guests in a separate birthday party.
Theme Have you ever asked your child how she feels about her birthday falling on a holiday? If not, be sure to do that.
22 • SanDiegofamily.com • Party Guide 2018
If your child loves Valentine’s Day, it’s likely not a problem that her birthday cake is covered with hearts. Or if Halloween is her absolute favorite, don’t shy away from having a costume party in her honor. But if the birthday child wants to celebrate separately, be respectful of her wishes. Provide a birthday cake, decorations and activities that are not associated with the holiday. And never wrap a birthday present in Christmas paper — a common pet peeve for people born in December.
Plan Ahead Send invitations earlier than usual. Family schedules fill quickly — especially with holiday festivities. Send invitations at least 2-3 weeks prior to the planned celebration so there is plenty of time for people to plan. v Lisa Gipson is the managing editor of San Diego Family Magazine.
