From lobster races and campfires to balloon arches and party favors, today we’re diving into the real story behind modern kids’ parties. In this episode of Just 4 Moms, Charlotte leads a heartfelt (and hilarious) chat with Caitlin, Kallie, and Megan about childhood summer memories, mom fails, and the growing pressure to throw Pinterest-perfect celebrations.
We reflect on our own family traditions, why some of us are scaling back, and how social media has shaped our views on birthdays and milestones. Plus, we’re joined by party planning queen Beth Kingston (HSN Craft Expert) who shares her genius tips for throwing personal, fun gatherings that don’t break the bank.
Whether taco bars and DIY decorations or birthday philosophies and sibling drama—we cover it all. Whether you’re a minimalist or a Pinterest mom (or a mix of both), this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.
