063 - Joy-filled Birthdays

I can not even believe it, but today is my daughter's fifth birthday. How in the world do I have a five-year-old? I don't know. Five whole years of sweet little Milly being in our lives. Five whole years of me being a mama. I can not believe it. These five years have come by really fast and really slow all at the same time. Birthdays are so special. They're so special for your kiddos, they're so special for you, mama, but if we're being real, they can be really stressful too. Birthday parties, planning, all the things.  So today I'm going to talk about birthdays in honor of sweet Milly turning five. I'm going to talk about putting some joy back into birthday celebrations and give you a few ideas and lessons that I've learned to make birthdays in your home perfect for your family.
