Thirteen is a "milestone" year. You will be lucky if your child will "let" you throw a party. Let your child select the party theme and the party's location.

Remember, this party is for your child, so let your teen make the plans, and give them some space during the party.

This is also a good time to host coed parties with children from school, including both your child's female and male friends.

Sweet sixteen is yet another milestone. It is important to supervise the gathering, but make sure you stay in the background and let your child have fun with their friends.

When you think of Thanksgiving, a big juicy turkey usually comes to mind, Valentines Day makes you think about chocolates and Christmas conjures up images of cookies. Putting together some type of food gift is a great idea for a present, whether it's for a birthday or for a Christmas present.

If you know the person well, then put together a food gift basket of all their favorite goodies, or if you do not know them that well you can always include a few items that most everyone enjoys.

There are all sorts of' lucky charms including horseshoes, rabbit's feet, and naturally, the four-leaf clover.  Everybody knows a four-leaf clover brings good luck doesn't it?

there's no real reason why the four-leaf clover should be considered 'lucky' aside from the fact that four-leaf clovers were limited at one time.  They are no longer scarce.  There are fields of four-leaf clover today. Still, the notion persists.

Some say the four-leaf clover has its roots in religion.  They assert that the four-leaf clover was what Eve grabbed when God outcast her and Adam from the Garden of Eden to remind her of nirvana.

For St. Patrick's Day March 17th, Don't forget to wear green, of get pinched all day long. Ask the guests to wear green.

Sing Irish tunes and serve root beer and soda. Serve up Irish fare like Irish Stew and mashed potatoes.

You can use green food coloring for added appeal. Give guests a map to find "the pot of gold".

Give guests gold coins and decorate the party place with rainbows and shamrocks.

Good Irish Luck to You!
