When you’re a child, there is nothing more exciting than your birthday (except maybe Christmas). After the last couple of years, your children might have had to miss out on having much of a birthday celebration, especially if they couldn’t have a party, go out somewhere special, or even see their friends. If you want to make this year’s birthday extra special and be the world’s best parent, try some of these ideas.
This week the kids have been off school for half term, I’ve launched my new podcast and it was my birthday yesterday. Suffice to say it’s been a busy week. But no matter how busy things get, if it’s my birthday I want to have a mini celebration with my nearest and dearest. Organizing a party, albeit a small one, would have been a struggle with three kids and very little time, which is why I was so happy to work with Rocking Sugar for my 38th birthday celebrations.
A good friend of mine sent me a message on February 14 to wish my littlest happy birthday. She also wished me a happy birthday because alternatively it meant that I had completed my first year as mum of three. So I wrote down some thoughts on what it’s like.
JAMES IS ONE!
This week it was Georgie’s birthday. He is now 5 years old.
I get a bit emotional at his birthdays, when he blows out the candles and I realise how bloody quickly time goes by. I hugged him tight on the morning of his birthday and whispered the words ‘my baby’ to which he replied: ‘No mama. I am now 5 years old so I am not a baby anymore.’ I made it abundantly clear that no matter how old he is he will always be MY baby. If you follow me on Instagram you can catch me singing happy birthday to Georgie as he was waking up with a smile on his face.
