There has been considerable coverage in the news in recent years about girls reaching puberty at an early age and many parents will be acutely aware of early development in their own daughters. It is not until their daughter starts her periods however that the impact of puberty really begins to hit home. The average age at which girls start their periods is 12 however an increasing number of girls are starting as young as nine and ten which means the latter years of primary school. Understandably parents are being caught out by this and a phone call from school to say that their daughter has started can come as a shock. Most schools will give the lesson on puberty at the end of Year 6 but this is too late for some girls. As a business dedicated to giving girls a positive start to puberty PoGo believes that girls benefit from learning ... 2010-10-8 20:45:49 http://www.charmingangelsparties.co.uk/page6.htm#76975 Xmas is almost upon us yet again and who cant get that little bit excited.

So we have spoken with EdgyKid to give you the low down. Summertime Parties Parties in the summer whether its a birthday barbeque wedding or christening every event gives us the fantastic opportunity to be outdoors enjoying the sunshine. Ok not always true in this country but weve had some pretty good weather this year. Kids absolutely love looking forward to a party and the whole getting ready for the party thing adds to their excitement. They want to look good and feel special and as parents we take great pleasure in seeing that happy look when the present is wrapped and the outfit is chosen. Girls love a pretty dress to make them feel special and in the party mood.

You are far more likely to see a giant stack of Cupcakes an asymetric stack of vibrant coloured cakes a sculpture of a object or a creation from chocolate taking the centrepiece at your wedding or party. The evolution in the cake market has bucked the trend of the recession and I think is largely due to the consumers desire for uniquness. No longer are we content with the small birthday party in the back garden or the family meal we expect entertainment limos chocolate fountains party bags and a show stopping cake to set off any great party. Choice is limitless when it comes to style size and colour of your cake and while we were more constrained with the royal icings and the soft buttercream toppings this can no longer be said with the fashion of using fondants and flavourings. Like modelli... 2010-7-29 21:01:57 http://www.charmingangelsparties.co.uk/page6.htm#71647 Charming Angels talks to Nicola Currie of Barefoot Books as she reflects on kids books. Perhaps its the long hot summer days or perhaps it is the fact that I dont have the heating on full blast and I dont have to wear my kagool all the time but there is something about summer that makes life that little bit easier and I have a bit more energy for getting things done or more time for relaxing. Having embarked on a large clear out yesterday oldest daughter with hardly any stuff finally gets own room whilst youngest and middle daughters with huge amount of stuff get crammed into the same room I have to decide which books to keep and which to pass on. I have spent a bit of time reflecting on which books we love old and new and what makes books timeless but relevant to young readers today. Im sure we all remember our childhood favourites for me Miffy Topsy and Tim Harry the Dirty Dog My Naughty Little Sister Milly Molly Mandy or was it Mary Mungo and Midge no that was cool TV Ri... 2010-7-29 20:27:42 http://www.charmingangelsparties.co.uk/page6.htm#64777 I am delighted to announce that not only have I been nominated for the Mumpreneur Awards I am also featured in the book Working 59 How to run a successful business in your spare time.

Thinking back to what kids parties were like in the 1980s it was predominantly based at home with traditional party games although occasionally parties were held in McDonalds. This new concept that held parties in their restaurant and had a clown come and visited your party. Was Ronald McDonald a Clown I think so The birthday cakes took on a whole different shape with crinoline ladies being in fashion. Strange how each era looks back and revives trends. So how did the crinoline lady cakes of the 1980s come about. Infact what were crinoline ladies Crinoline was the petticoat that ladies had worn since 1837 but had changed through fashion. In fact the 1950s saw a revival of it. So in the 1980s big underskirts were back in fashion with a nod to the 1950s. But like everything else the kids party cake took on a modern twist there was no china doll making up the crinoline lady cake. NO this was replaced with Barbie. Yes I had ... 2010-4-7 00:01:46 http://www.charmingangelsparties.co.uk/page6.htm#62167 We aim to compile a list of venues that would be suitable for the use of parties Please note we have not been to or used all these venues so please vist them in advance.

Great timing when you are just getting the children back to school or nursery and then you have a party to plan.Over recent years the traditional childrens parties that were held in the house and involved games like pass the parcel have almost died out. Favouring a more entertainment based party that offers something different. The kind of entertainment the children are seeking now are activities like soft play bowling arts and crafts pamper parties bouncy castles jewellery making and sports.With entertainment of this sort usually starting at around 163100 can parents really afford to keep up with this trend during a recession Charming Angels carried out their own survey of parents over the last few months and found that its a split decision. During the recession parents say that 46 will spend under 16399 on their kids party with 54 of parents spending over 163100.
