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

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
