This mum of seven knows how to throw an amazing party for her kids

Mum of seven Jen Hogan has planned all sorts of parties to celebrate her children’s birthdays. She shares her experience, advice and tips

We’re entering our silly season again, and by silly season I mean birthday season. Through careful lack of planning, four of my seven children have their birthdays within a three-week period, including two on the same day – and they’re not twins, there’s 12 years between them!

Irrespective of the fact that they have enough siblings for a ready-made birthday party already, each child still looks forward to celebrating their respective birthdays with friends and classmates.
