I’v had quite a few requests to share more life updates….I also had someone bring to my attention that I never finished the IVF series. I hope to get that up soon.
Do any of your kids have birthdays close together? I would love your thoughts on what you do…do you do combined parties?
I originally thought that having the girls birthdays so close would be ok…but now I am not so sure.
This year we did a combined party. Since Jada is so small, I thought it would be ok…and it was. One thing I didn’t consider is gifts. This year was ok…but next year I will need to plan a little better for getting gifts for both girls. I actually kept the gifts for Jada, who is one, pretty simple. I’m talking, she needed a couple new clothes items that I was planning on getting anyway…I just counted those as her gifts…she’s one.
Alexa had her first friends party. We kept it simple with a piñata that I filled with a piñata toy/candy mix. The kids loved it. We also served cupcakes and appetizers. I think everyone had a good time. I got her some clothes, a boogie board, and some high heels… She always walks around in mine so I thought she would like some her size..and she does! I also had to get her this.
I have loved taking their birthday pictures. It’s so fun to see how they grow and change each year. All of these were taken at a local park. It’s always chaos trying to coax them to look at me….and smile at the same time. Overall they did great.
I have been frantically trying to get the laundry room finished…if you follow me on Instagram I shared a sneak peek of the accent wall on my Instagram Story….it’s only there for a few more hours so you better go check it out!

I have nephews whose birthdays are only eight days apart. They are teens now and have always been fine with having a combined party. However, as children get older they have their own ideas about what kind of party they want, so a combined party may mean setting up two tables with two different themes and cakes- one year one child wanted a pirate party and the other one wanted a Spiderman party, so two tables solved the problem.
Your girls are absolutely beautiful, Good luck with whatever you decide!
Your brain is like a muscle and requires challenges and novelty in order to more fully develop.
For example, if you are curious about physics you might want to start with a popular article or documentary and then move on to more specialized books by famous physicists.
