My new birthday tradition 🎈 This year, I wanted to do something a little different for my birthday, so my family and I decided to create “birthday in a box” kits for those who can’t afford to celebrate their special day. It’s been such a heartwarming experience, and I’m excited to share why we chose this path. I really believe that birthdays are a big deal—everyone deserves to feel special and loved, no matter their circumstances. By putting these kits together, I wanted to teach my kids about the importance of giving back and the joy that comes from helping others. It’s been a beautiful way to spend my birthday, knowing we’re making a difference together. Each kit includes everything needed to create your own birthday cake! We even found a fun twist: using Sprite instead of oil and eggs! The bubbles in the soda help the cake rise, making it light and fluffy. They can bake it right in the tin we provide, which makes it super easy and fun! We also included a whisk, candles, balloons, and plates to make sure they have a complete celebration experience. I can’t wait to deliver these kits to local food pantries and spread some birthday love to those who need it most. It truly warms my heart to know that we’re bringing a little joy to someone’s day. Spending my birthday this way has been so rewarding, and I encourage everyone to find a way to give back. Let’s spread love and kindness together! birthdayinabox momsbirthday birthdaysetup birthdaygirl rawmotherhood motherhood momsofinstagram sahm sahmlife birthdayideas sahmomlife postpartum lifeafterloss birthdayideas diymom diybirthday diybirthdaydecor momssupportingmoms littlemoments firstborn momof4 momof4kids ltk thoseinneed givingback foodpantry birthdaycakeideas
