Birthday Surprise
For my kid’s birthday’s, I try to have some sort of surprise ready for when the wake up or get home from school. I’ve been know to streamer and baloon up a room or two, and even TP’d my son’s room for his 15th birthday. Here’s a great idea. Set up streamers in a central hallway, or even in the child’s doorway. Fun!

Window Markers Are Not For Just Celebrations!
Always great ideas at Chica and Jo: Here’s another one:
You see cars driving around all the time with “Go Team!” and “Just Married!” written on the back windows with window markers, right? It’s always cute and fun, but can window writing ever be practical, too? Well, I was helping Chica deliver a wedding cake the other day and she had to drive very slowly so it wouldn’t get ruined. She felt guilty slowing down traffic, and wished she had an easy way to notify the drivers behind her that she had fragile cargo on board so they would understand. That’s when things clicked and we realized you could use those white window markers
You could tell other drivers that you did have fragile cargo on board, like a cake or a fish tank or a box of champagne glasses. Or you could alert them that your turn signal is broken or if you need someone to call 911. This can be a huge lifesaver! I now keep one of these markers
