Disclosure :: our friends at Painting and Pinot sponsored this post.  Easy Birthday Parties with Painting and Pinot Let's start with a personal story. When I had my first daughter, I couldn’t wait to Pinterest the heck out of her 1st birthday party. After days of preparing homemade decorations, buying ridiculous little plastic cups for the “baby bar,” and cleaning my house like I was about to perform surgery, I sat back and thought “NEVER AGAIN.” I doubt I could do away with birthday parties all together, but I sure as heck was NOT doing this on my own any more.

And 39 Louisiana children lost their lives to abuse and neglect last year. I can’t get the image of those 39 empty desks out of my mind. Can you imagine our outrage and action if we were losing 39 children a year to an illness or to a ride at an amusement park? The good news is that child abuse and neglect is 100%...
