Make Birthdays Special
Dear Mama,
Happy Birthday to my two-year-old William Lucas. I’m so blessed to be his mother. I wanted to share a few things I've done that I learned from my mom, @sally.clarkson’s book, The Lifegiving Table, and some things I just came up with. The point is to make birthdays another memorable day of celebration and thanksgiving.
1. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. I got this idea from @sally.clarkson, and I thought this was such a great idea. It’s an excellent way to get excited for the next day. It’s a special breakfast and one that makes birthdays memorable.
2. Wrap each present individually: I got this tip from my mom and saw that Sally Clarkson does the same. It’s a way to make birthday presents look even more abundant.
3. Wrap presents in birthday paper: because my son was born the week of Christmas, it must make their birthday a separate event from Christmas. One mom told me to wrap presents in birthday paper and NEVER to mix my son’s birthday with Christmas.
4. Sprinkle presents throughout the day: I like to give a present for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It makes the day even more exciting.
5. Have the family make their birthday cards: I got this idea from Sally Clarkson, too. Have the family make their own birthday cards. It’s a great way to express their feelings, and they make wonderful keepsakes.
6. Sign a book: another birthday keepsake is buying a book per birthday that everyone signs. I got this fantastic idea from a dear friend.
All of these tips bring beauty and goodness to the home. It makes birthdays special and memorable.
What other tips do you have to make birthdays special?
Warmly,
Mirley
