So wonderfully said! I felt the same way after planning and stressing about Harper’s 1st bday. We kept it pretty casual thankfully, and I intend to keep it that way going forward. After all, it’s not for the gram anymore.. it’s for her :)

Also, I also remember my childhood parties being great. My mom would do the plates, napkins, cups on theme (usually sold in a pack at party city) and I thought that was legit.. haha oh how times have changed!

Yes! The parties of our youth were perfection. I’m petitioning to bring that style of celebration back into vogue. Lol, Axel’s first birthday is coming up in a matter of days and I have yet to purchase a damn thing for his party — and that feels kinda spot on 😅

YES. You’re a great mom for how you show up and how you reflect. Pizza cake and love is all we need and your kids are so very lucky to have you. And can we talk about the beautifully ordinary 90s photos that you have to look back on?!

90’s birthdays forever!! Major shoutout to my mom for digging through the archives of her [admittedly very well orhqnized] photo albums to find these snaps for me. Had ME grinning ear to ear at age 34!
