“…. and don’t forget to wash your face and brush your teeth before bed!”
Mother’s famous words, right? Well, this weekend marks the celebration of lil miss’s birthday in the family. And with that came a small gathering of the girls. Now, as I prepare for a house full of estrogen to sleep over, I’m thinking LORD WHEN DOES THIS END? But I quickly remember how this will pass and soon they will be off to college and I’ll be left alone with The Mister and no more chaotic weekends with a house full of kids going in circles thru the staircases.
Anyhooo…. back to this little soiree’, she says to me the eve before the girls arrive, “mom, will you get out a bunch of wash cloths because they’re always needing some to wash their face before bed.” And immediately, the lightbulb came on! PERFECT party favor. After all, when I asked her before what we should do for party favors, she said MOOOOOOOM, we’re TOO OLD for THAAAAAAT. Ah HA! Not this time….
So I came up with something that was what the girls needed, things they used, and was perfect for them to take home as a little “gift” from Miss M.
I put together little beauty party favors, little grooming bouquets. They got their washcloth that they needed that evening, a new toothbrush, their own toothpaste, and a hair tie to keep it all together.
Getting washcloths of any color, from any place, toothbrushes and toothpaste from Dollar Tree {angels singing from above! I LOVE that place!} and hair ties from anywhere, too.
If you wanna do this for the boys, tie it up with some twine. Will take a bit more time, but it still works.
I feel a bit like Martha Stewart right now…. #iwearmanyhats {wink!}
