Birthday Parties in Austin, Texas



Unlike childhood birthday parties of yesteryear, which revolved around a birthday cake and a small gathering of mostly family and a friend or two, today’s parties require a bit more. Generally, all of your child’s acquaintances from school are invited to the party, which should at the very least have a theme if not an exotic locale.  What is a parent to do when faced with the monolithic task of planning the party of the century for their toddler, without the time or even energy to begin thinking about doing so?  Fear not, Austin offers plenty of kiddie-party options.

If your kid is under the age of 10, Kiddie Acres makes a fun spot for birthday celebrating.  Located on Howard Lane in Northern Austin, Kiddie Acres is a small amusement park with only age appropriate rides, all seemingly vintage and well maintained and colorful.  The park includes a mini ferris wheel, boats, planes, cars, a carousel, a train, as well as a real pony ride.  They sell packages of tickets that you can dispense to your guests and provide large picnic tables where you can set up the cake and lemonade.

If your party occurs in the heat of the summer, you could consider some of the excellent indoor options.  Pump It Up, located in central Austin, boasts a wide variety of inflatables.  Kids are ushered from room to room to try out all of the offerings before returning to a party room you can serve the requisite pizza and cake.

It wasn’t until the 1950′s that the disposable diaper came into being as we know it today. Today there are several diaper brands available that have taken great strides since the diapers beginning. Technological advances in materials used have taken the disposable diaper to a whole new level. In this article, I’ll give an overview of the best brands of diapers available.

Pampers is one of the best diaper brands that is the most widely known. It was introduced by Procter & Gamble back in 1961 and paved the way for a whole new category of baby products.
