PARTYKINS :: A Birthday Tradition

By Liz Jacob, Copy Editor 7 Comments

Three years ago, we started a new tradition in our home. On the eve of our children’s birthday we sneak into their room and decorate. Each year is little different, but it usually ends up being filled with balloons and streamers. Sometimes beach balls, a giant blow up dinosaur and once a room with walls covered in tissue paper flowers.

To continue with our new tradition we start off the day with a morning celebration. The table is already set and the birthday king or queen has a decorated chair and placemat loaded with goodies and presents. They can choose any breakfast they want, and this year it happened to be “Hulk” green crepes stuffed with fresh berries, yogurt and a drizzle of honey.

Not a bad start to the day!

Do you have any birthday traditions? We would love to hear them. Stay tuned for another Partykins post featuring Josh’s celebration and some tips on how to plan a birthday party for your little one.

    Such a Lovely Tradition, it reminds of a scene from ‘A Little Princess’ When Sera and Becky wake up surrounded by all those luxuries they dreamed up the night before!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
