January 31, 2026Birthday party for kiddos? Highly Recommend Josie Mae
For my son's 4th birthday, we celebrated in our home with about 10 children ages 3-8, their parents + family. Everyone had a blast! She made the birthday boy feel special during the entertainment portion, and all the kids left with balloon swords + their own creations which they loved. She's easy to communicate with, awesome personality.
