After this last weekend, I can proudly say that I have planned and executed a total of 27 successful birthday parties for my six children! I can hardly believe it's true!

Not all of the 27 birthdays we have celebrated have been created equal, mind you. We have had birthday parties with jump houses, face painting, pinatas and even magic tricks. Some called for ice cream cakes. Others for giant cupcakes. I even made an elaborate sheet cake, with a pond full of frogs on lily-pads, for one such party. And one was a low-key get-together at our favorite pizza place.

There is definitely something to be said for planning your pregnancies. Anyone who knows me, knows that each one of my boys were surprises and that’s good, because I like surprises that come in the form of a baby, what I don’t like about surprises is that sometimes the timing of them is way off.
