It’s my birthday. For some reason, that made me want to do a little something birthday-related – but just for you. If you have a birthday kiddo in the house, they are going to love this beautiful cupcake coloring page. We also have a great list of ways to celebrate an entire birthday week on a budget plus at the end of this post we have ten ways to make birthdays more special!

We like to start birthdays off with fun birthday-themed coloring pages for the little ones and celebrate them all day long with fun activities. In fact, my daughter is turning 12 tomorrow (yes, her birthday is the day after mine!) and she has already sent out invites to her siblings for an early morning dance party and birthday breakfast. It should be fun!

The link for your free cupcake coloring page is at the bottom of this post.

10 Ways to Make Birthdays Special without Breaking the Bank

With six kids at home, I don’t budget for huge birthday parties involving loads of friends, loot bags, games, and elaborately dressed Disney characters to meet and greet. I admire my friends who take the time to do that. I just don’t. But I have found a few fun things to help my kids celebrate on their special day. These are some of our birthday traditions.

10 Ways to Make Birthdays Special

  1. Start the day with a favorite breakfast and a coloring page. Whether it’s of your child’s favorite movie character or something as sweet as this cupcake – everybody can color pictures for the birthday child.
  2. Let your child pick the meals. Our kids pick the meals for their birthdays – except the twins who apparently get the raw end of the stick and have to collaborate.
  3. Plan a treasure hunt. Older children can get involved, decorate a “treasure chest,” design a map, and plant clues.
  4. Move the furniture and host a dance party for the family. Use fun Disney music and then dance ’til you can’t dance any more!
  5. Get stickers and kazoos or hats and balloons for each child at home. Cheap fun just for birthdays!
  6. Have your child choose either balloons or a piñata. Keep the piñata filling affordable but fun.
  7. Buy the birthday child one of those $1 character cups in their favorite new movie character. My kids love this so much – when they recently got LEGO® movie cups with their happy meal at McDonalds they could not wait to use their “special cups” to drink as soon as they got home. I’d skip the cup for my teenagers now, except some of them still pick out their own. It’s that important.
  8. Decorate birthday cakes yourself. I took a few cake decorating classes at a local craft store before my oldest was born, and I have always endeavored to make the birthday cakes myself. They don’t look amazing, but they always taste good! The kids won’t remember that they weren’t perfect – they will remember that I made the effort. Plus, they taste way better than deli cakes typically. Once my girls have gotten to a certain, capable age, they get to help decorate the cake. So far the boys haven’t wanted to.
  9. No chores for the birthday child. Whoever is celebrating their birthday gets a break from chores while someone else picks up the slack.
  10. Siblings give gifts. One of the things my kids love is buying gifts for their siblings for each birthday. We have made it a priority to have the kids save money and choose gifts. They get to choose their own budget and we have helped little ones make those purchases when they were too young to make money. Sometimes, two kids go together so they can afford something more fabulous that they know a sibling wants. That’s pretty cool!


How do you make your child’s birthday extra special and different from other days?

    Happy Belated Birthday. I love the $1 cup idea. For birthdays, we usually open one gift in the morning and the rest during the party after the cake. Usually is a small gift like fun jewelry or a special shirt that can be worn that day. Wake up call is a variation on Happy Birthday being sung to them. Love your blog.

Our Latest Shenanigans

Instagram post 2170540124801438298_583360598 So this just happened! As we made the last major turn to get to our #homeschool co-op, my back tire did not make the turn without hitting the curb and what felt like something metal. My tire is completely flat and on its rim. Fortunately a sweet friend from co-op came and got my kids, and roadside assistance is on their way to jack up my van and get the spare on. Fortunately this is not one of the tires we just replaced — AND — this one is under warranty. #momlife #thankful #weareallok #nobodygothurt #momsofinstagram #woah #flat
Instagram post 2169879110326070687_583360598 Circumstances, sin and the brokenness of this world will leave life less than perfect. But when we chase a perfect God, read His perfect Word, and follow His perfect way, we will find His perfect peace. ... Girls—we can have perfect peace without a perfect life!

Instagram post 2169022457087059083_583360598 Couldn’t resist an extra post this morning! This is so true!!! In fact my German car fell back in time two weeks ago. I’m not even going to touch it. Nope. Don’t even go there. #fallback #joyofmom #momlife #momcar
Instagram post 2168440362367304136_583360598 What a beautiful reminder that Gods got this! He has the whole world in his hands. He already knows the whole story! The victory is already won. .
Hang in there mama. God chooses the rulers and authorities. God rules all of creation. God carried the weight of the world on his shoulders so that we don’t have to try. .
Trust in this - the God of the universe who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. . 
He will carry it. The author of our faith.  Not you. Him. .
God’s got this. .

Instagram post 2166966740079591220_583360598 I love it that this boy actually asked me for a hike. It didn’t end up being a long hike. But we got in the woods, we stomped around and explored the river bank. We went uphill and searched out treasures in the woods. It was a good hike. And when we got back in the car even the sixteen year old said, “Mom, I’m glad we came.” #getoutside #playoutside #godcreated #naturespeaks #homeschoolmom #homeschool #momlife #hikersofinstagram #instahike #kidswhohike #hikewithkids
Instagram post 2166239162007849393_583360598 Who needs to just take a deep breath, and rest in the promise that God isn’t finished revealing your story yet? 
This is just a chapter! New seasons are coming, and whatever difficulty you are experiencing in this very moment, this too shall pass. 
So keep your chin up mama! His mercies are made new every morning. Rest in that mercy. 
I’m so thankful for what God has done in my life, but I’m also incredibly grateful he’s not finished with me yet! .

Instagram post 2165617683159458994_583360598 #sponsored It breaks my heart that we have so many hungry children in the United States - the land of plenty. Food insecurity is a real issue in this country and I want to make a difference. This week I learned that compassion is an action verb. Its not the feeling of empathy -- compassion is the act of helping. It's time to take action and fight hunger. That's why I am pleased to partner with @FoodLion to raise hunger awareness through #FoodLionFeeds and the #NoEmptyPlate challenge. You can help!

Instagram post 2164810844435915869_583360598 You are not alone.  You are busy, you are struggling with your kids attitudes, laundry piles, meal creation, dust bunnies, more laundry piles and a thousand other things begging for your attention. You are needed 24/7 and you are tired mentally, emotionally and physically. You are a mom - and you are not alone. Be encouraged mama. You got this! You can do it! .
How can I pray for you today??? .

Instagram post 2164389082514591713_583360598 We are finally getting Fall colors! I was beginning to despair it would not happen this year. I’m so grateful for the sights and sounds of Autumn. We listened to rain all night soothing us in sleep and woke up to this splendor - seems like the leaves changed overnight.  #rainfall
