Heppy Turned 7! Keeping Birthdays Simple, Special and Low-Waste

Heppy turned 7 this past week. Seven!! It feels so big. And as if to mark the moment, her first wobbly tooth appeared the next day…AH!

I love birthdays—especially the kids’ birthdays. I love talking about them, dreaming together, and making plans. There’s something magical about wondering what the surprise cake might be, letting them choose their birthday menu for the day (lemon and sugar pancakes, tomato soup for lunch and mac and cheese for dinner for Heppy! (a partially burnt mac n cheese but let’s forget about that)) And you bet I’m there at 6am on the birthday morning buzzing with excitement.
