Dream-Themed Birthday Party

Make a wish come true

What better present birthday present can you give than a dream? In fact, studies show that life milestones, like birthdays, rank high on almost everybody’s Bucket List, so why not make it a big one!? On their birthdays, authors Sara and Scott like to evaluate their life plans and add new dreams to their bucket lists, and we’ll show you how, too. And to boot, a dream-themed party is a great way to reduce sugary foods and plastic toys as the normal party favors.

Pictured above is flying pig birthday cake! Fun fact: The authors live in Cincinnati and that’s where the expression, “When Pigs Fly,” comes from. In the old days, farmers used to ship their to the market on the Ohio River. On foggy days, you couldn’t see the boat or the river, so the pigs looked like they were flying.

Dream It! A playbook to spark your awesomeness! — Reduce sugary foods and plastic toys — “Dream it!” makes the perfect party favor. And the gift of a dream lasts a lifetime.
