Our daughter’s birthday happened right when COVID-19 starting affecting our lives. For a number of days, my husband and I wavered over whether to throw the party or not. When we understood that a stay-at-home order was going to be placed soon it was an easy decision to cancel. We were still able to give our daughter a special day by having her Lion King birthday party just without any of the guests. I think she had a great time!
Many people might tell you not to register for clothing. For one, people are going to give you baby clothing as gifts regardless of what you register for because it is fun to buy cute baby clothes.
Another reason is that you don’t know how big your baby will be when he/she is born. Maybe your kid won’t ever even be in newborn clothes. Also, you don’t know how fast your baby will grow. If you buy too many clothes in advance the seasons might end up being all wrong.
I’m finding that more and more couples are recently electing to not find out the gender of their baby. There are multiple reasons for this. One reason is that it is really nice to have gender-neutral baby gifts and items that can be used with future children. If you announce the gender beforehand you undoubtedly will end up with a ton of pink or blue stuff.
I am loving the popular “four gift rule” for Christmas. Every child receives one item in each of the following categories; something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. If you know me, then you know that my favorite category is “something to read”. Thankfully, my girls (ages 1 and 2.5) love to read too. Here are my recommendations for excellent books to give toddlers as gifts.

I’m a frugal party planner, especially when it comes to birthdays my children won’t even remember. I made these invitations in Canva, printed them off, and with a little cutting and some glue dots I think they turned out pretty good.
Below I’ve written instructions for how to create your own easy and cheap barn invitations.
