I don't know about you but with three little ones and lots of friends we celebrate a lot of birthdays. It's normal for us to have three or more birthday parties a month. I love birthday cake and all but it's not doing anything for my weight loss. Not to mention that the weekends can get swallowed up in an instant.
The worst is trying to decide what to buy for each child. They are all so different and spending hours at the toy store with an indecisive child is not my idea of fun. Lately I've saved myself some time by buying gift cards to the movies. Everyone loves the movies and I don't have to stress over what to give.
