February 6th Newsletter
Hello everyone! How was your first month into the new year?
So my mom did end up bailing for my bday and my daughter's bday unfortunately - which I figured she would. But we went to a local Italian place for dinner for mine, and we went to a cat cafe for breakfast for my daughter's. Between planning her sleepover party (which was this weekend! 😳 We had a few of daughter's friends over - but only one ended up spending the night & two went home early), all the appointments, the bathroom sink breaking just days before her sleepover, and watching the dumpster fire that is the world & worrying about 🧊 locally, and doing a birthday month book challenge on IG - it's been an emotional rollercoaster over the month, so sorry this is a week late. I had asked my social media if they could mail (or even email) birthday cards for my daughter - since the school drama & family drama (my mom cancelling Xmas & everyone's bdays on my side of the family) has taken it's toll on her - I wanted to show her that some people still wanted her to have a good birthday... To crickets. She didn't get one card unfortunately. 😔 I know I'm a small creator & I don't get much interaction on my posts but I had hoped she'd at least get one. Either way she had been looking forward to her sleepover all month, I just hoped that it had gone better - but she did have fun & that's all that mattered.
What's the Birthday Month Book Challenge?
So on IG you can join the challenge by @blush_bookworms where you have the month of your birthday to complete all the prompts - it's fun all around to see how creative everyone is completing their challenges. This was my second year doing it & I definitely enjoyed it. 😊
