I love your writing and have the same feelings around birthday's. This year my daughter asked for no celebration. We ate good food and had icecream. But no cake, no candles, and even her gift is delayed in the mail. She didn't feel deprived at all! At 12 yrs old she has already embraced simplicity. And you are never oversharing:)
If I had had the option for no parties as a kid, I would have jumped at them. Thanks for honouring her wishes, even if it goes against what you think that they should want!
I gave up on the idea of posting every day. I think it's too much. Better to just write when the words need to flow!
