intentional living, little by little

{family} A Robot Birthday Party

My oldest has his birthday this week and requested a robot theme.  We kept things super simple but he loved everything and hugged me repeatedly.  I want to remind myself (and you fellow mammas out there!) that simple is okay.  While those picture-perfect parties on Pinterest are so enticing and awe-inspiring, they also cost money.  Sometimes a lot of money.  And at the end of the day, it’s really not that important.  What mattered to my son was family, a special cake that he helped decorate, and opening a few surprises.  And it was good.       

P.S. One big hit that I have to share: Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em!  We used it as a “centerpiece” but I know it will get a lot of use in this house!
