It's my birthday today and that has bought about a lot of reflection.
What birthdays mean to me.
What the last 12 months have been like.
As my husband has so correctly told me last year we had my family and friends at my birthday- this year I don't see 90%of those people...
This year it was a bit of a rush leading up to my birthday and this meant less time to focus on it. As a kid birthdays nearly always failed for me. I never got the presents I wanted or if the wrong present was given I was told it would be exchanged-only to never see it again. I very rarely had friends over for parties. Most of the time I didn't get a card or a cake. Or I was told to buy my own. I never felt important or special.
So to me now birthdays are extra special. I always put in effort for my kids to feel special. It's not about the money spent or the amount of presents you buy. It's about spending quality time with them and letting them know today is their special day.
So tonight at the end of my day I checked on my kids asleep in bed and realised how special they are and how lucky I am!
Married to an amazing man and we have created an amazing family.
