Who’s excited that fall is here? Well, sort-of “here”. I mean, eventually it WILL turn cold outside which means we get to rock our blanket scarves while sipping on our yummy coffee in a seasonally themed cup. And for us mommas with winter babies, it’s also the time of year to start searching for the perfect spot to celebrate said milestones. While we all have enjoyed parties at locations with “gym,” “jump” or “pizza” in the name, wouldn’t it be nice to find a unique and memorable place to host your party? Look no further than this list of cool places to host your winter baby’s next birthday!

I had Party Pals On the Go this past weekend for my daughters birthday and the kids LOVED it. Such a unique activity and they all got to take their new stuffed friend home (Bonus: No goodie bags of plastic toys!). It was worth every penny and kept the kids occupied for over an hour. Trish was amazing with the kiddos.
