Birthdays are important.
My parents have always made me feel this way, especially my mom by carefully planning my gifts, the dinner I wanted, my favorite cake flavor.
I am the same with my children, talking about their birthdays for weeks in advance. I want to make sure they know how important the day they came into this world is to me and to others.

My birthday is coming up and I’m TOTALLY celebrating myself with a birthday week because corona is kicking my ass and I deserve some freaking hoopla.
But first I have my mom and my sister to celebrate. I love May. And I love celebrating my people probably even more than I love celebrating myself.
Also that cupcake frosting color is EVERYTHING right now.

When I was growing up birthdays and holidays were a big deal. So when I got married, I taught my husband that they are a big deal and that he would treat them as such. I got a rare one – he caught on quick!
