I never made it past the marzipan in my childhood ballerina days, so I’ll just pretend to be a sugarplum fairy for the night in this twirly little number.

The search is on for the perfect party dress to wear. Shall I go with sequins this year?

But the guest list now includes eight toddlers and a few older kids. I’m now wishing I had these extra chairs to park around the dining room table to try and contain the mess. Futile, I know.

Growing up in Hawaii, it’s customary to have a huge baby luau to celebrate, and the whole family is flying out for the occasion. Lucky for me, organizing a luau in San Francisco is a breeze, since we have a great Hawaiian restaurant down the road that caters, and you can find all the decorations and party favors you need online. Surf’s up, little monkey!
