Here are 6 fun ideas to make the BirthDAY special:
3. Give gifts of play time to each other. Here is Daddy giving Ty a motorcycle ride on his birthday (Ty was in heaven!). Here is Tate giving Ty a blanket ride around the hardwood hallways for a gift (Londyn snuck onto the blanket too)!
4. For my husbands birthday I like to help the kids give him gifts of time. I let them give him giftcards or tickets to Fun Centers, Movie Theaters, Sporting Events, etc so they can go PLAY with Daddy. (This year we got a good one but I can't tell what it is due to the off chance that he may read this before his birthday on the 27th!) It is so much easier than trying to let them pick a regular gift out and more FUN too!
5. Write on the windows! Get some window paint like these and decorate the car! If you have to go somewhere it is fun to have your child's window announcing the birthday! We did this to daddy's car a few years ago and we also filled the inside with crepe paper and balloons.
6. The last gift. Sometimes we save one last gift for the birthday kiddo to open right at bedtime. It is a fun way to end the big day. Her is our big five year old with her "last gift" on her birthday back in October.
Such great birthday ideas and we have a birthday in our family this month so I'll definately be giving some of them a try. I'm so glad I found your blog. I'm hoping it will inspire me to be more of a super mommy to my 5 kids. C:"
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic Ideas! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI loved your ideas! We have four birthdays in nine days so I'm always on the lookout for ideas to make their day extra special! I featured your idea here:

Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Wow these are such fun ideas! My daughter was born December 26, 2010 and I have been trying to think of ways to make her birthday special and stand out from Christmas in the years to come and as she grows up. I will definitely be bookmarking this post...love it!
ReplyDeleteFun ideas. I came across your site linked from Pinterest. I have to say I love the blog title! Congratulations on being a super mommy. Keep up the good work! More people should be proud of their mommy skills instead of living in constant worry and doubt. A little confidence does the body good! :)
ReplyDeleteDid the crepe paper across the doorway on Christmas morning so my two boys wouldn't sneak in on Christmas morning. This way I heard them and they loved it! They wanted me to do it every Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart idea! Gotta remember that:)
Deletesuper cute! Gonna share the crepe paper idea with my readers today!
ReplyDeletehugs! Kim @ Party Frosting!
I found you on Pinterest. This is such a cute blog, and I'm a new follower. I'd love to have you stop by my brand new blog and follow too, if you get a chance. Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteBirthdays are a really big deal around our house, too. I love the doorway "barricade" idea!
ReplyDeleteFun Ideas. We do a lot of those in our home too. The streamers one is a new fun one that I'd love to try but don't know how I won't get caught setting it up. I have light sleepers. Love the pics of your little ones except I just want to yank that darn pacifier out of that little boy's mouth. Way too old to be sucking on that. Letting a kid over 6 months old have a paci is Not the act of a Super Mommy.
ReplyDeleteWho are you to judge!!??
DeleteSeriously? The paci comment? Are you intimately acquainted with these people? Have you earned the right to speak into their lives? I think not. Perhaps you should focus on character qualities in your own home rather than the pacifier usage in someone else's home.
ReplyDeleteI decorate my daughters bathroom mirror with poster paints. It has been such a fun activity to do the night before - I leave it up for as long as she wants.
