Printable Birthday Banner Cake Topper

6.29.2015

Printable Birthday Banner Cake TopperI don’t love cake. I know, I know, I’m crazy. I can easily pass up a piece of cake, a cupcake, or a slice of pie. I typically will only eat one or two bites of a cupcake before the sugar makes my tummy hurt (poor baby). Unless it’s red velvet or cheesecake, in which case I will eat the whole thing. After which, I will sit in pain for an hour just knowing I had a few bites of deliciousness. I’d much rather have a cheeseburger. At least I won’t feel regret. Unless it wasn’t on par. Then I will feel regret that I didn’t just go to In n Out instead.

Today is a special day in my blogosphere: it is my friend Nad’s (from Hugs x Heart) birthday! Since she lives on the other side of the world, I have to celebrate by showing her a picture of cupcakes, instead of delivering them to her place. I don’t think they’d survive in the mail, otherwise I’d try, trust me.

So in honor of Nad, this printable birthday banner is here! Although I’d like to give Nad the world, I actually didn’t make this myself. You can download your free glitterized birthday banner on TaterTots and Jello‘s website. Click here for the direct link. It was too cute not to share.

And just for you Nad, I helped myself to a giant cheeseburger too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAD!

    I’ve currently quit eating all sugary foods, which pretty much includes most chocolate and most desert items like these cupcakes. Seeing these has made my mouth water! Jesus they look lovely! Especially the frosting on top!

      Wow!!! So what kind of foods have you taken up eating?! We tried to do a no-carb thing for a few weeks, and it was successful, but then I started craving sugar foods, and I don’t normally eat them at all!

When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.
Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so mu Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so much fun. But I think we have enough of these oyster shells at this point. 🤣

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. The Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. They need more boredom. More freedom. More outside time. More chances to build a world out of sticks and dirt instead of asking for the next new thing.

I’m not interested in raising a child who expects constant entertainment or new toys. I want to raise one who knows how to create their own magic.

Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet wish most grown women understood too. I see so many adults actively TRYING to fit in…work, church, neighborhood, sports, etc. 

You shouldn’t have to try. If you’re trying to be someone you’re not, it’s not right. For you, or for them. Your tribe will come along, I promise you. Even if that tribe is one person, it’ll be better than a hundred women who just don’t get you.
Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love t Listen. I’m all about having a good time. I love to travel, I love to go out for dinner, I love having new clothes. But somewhere along the way, we’ve lost the ability to just say “No, I don’t want to spend the money on that.” 

Our budgets don’t always allow for the same experiences that our friend or neighbors may have, and that is perfectly okay. We need to stop overspending and start saving. We need to be financially secure before buying more junk that isn’t fulfilling, or going out for another dinner. 

Do you feel comfortable telling someone you don’t have the budget for something?
Somewhere along the way we forget to find the joy Somewhere along the way we forget to find the joy in all the little things. The little joys in twirling in a flower field. Stopping to smell the flowers. 

If we want our children to enjoy all of the little joys, we need to make sure we are doing it too. What little joy did you enjoy today?
