As a parent of a January babe, I understand how challenging it can be to host a fun, innovative and original birthday party year after year, without opening up your home to guests.

To help you fellow Mama’s out there I’ve compiled a list of great birthday party venues for your child’s next winter birthday. If you know of any other great spots be sure to tell us below.
