My little one is turning 2 next week and so obviously I'm in party planning mode. Most of my kids' parties have been at home so now it's a simple process. But, if you're not a natural party planner the idea of having your child's next birthday party at home might be a frightening and overwhelming thought. Especially if you've been to other parties that make the simple backyard gathering look like a carnival's stopped by to perform their greatest ever act.
