Around here - Birthday Traditions

Today is my Birthday and to celebrate I take a photo of myself with my kids every year with four cupcakes and as I am the birthday girl, I get to eat two of them...yeh me!!  This is the 15th photo in this series starting with 2006.

It's been a really rough month for our family with personal things going on that I don't even feel like celebrating to be honest.  I took these photos on Sunday as the kids aren't with me this week which is also making me sad.  Six years of week about and I still hate the fact that they aren't with me 365 days of the year.  That's life and everyone including my close friends have lots of stuff going on in 2020.  I still love that the kids know this photo is my "must have" birthday tradition.  I can't even imagine what we will all look like in another 10 or 20 years time.





Here's the other photos starting from 2006.

  6. Such a beautiful photo of you all - such a good-looking, vibrant family! Wishing you a very happy birthday and hoping that there are moments of celebration and feeling loved, despite the absence of your children on this special day for you. I've been reading your blog for years, and admire hugely how you have brought up your son and daughter and the wonderful people you are and have become. Sending warmest good wishes! xxx

    1. Thanks Alexa your comments and advice is always greatly appreciated. Last night I looked up an old blog post when the kids and I first made pasta. We made the pasta in 2012 however I posted the photos in April 2013 and you had posted a lovely comment so I was only thinking of you last night. Thanks for the Birthday wishes.
