We’re madly wrapping presents and planning cakes in preparation for my eldest’s 5th birthday.
(She requested a love heart cake. Then a cat-shaped cake. Now we’re back at the love heart request.)
Birthdays always make me sentimental and nostalgic.
Do you have any birthday traditions with your littles?
Back when she was about to turn 2, I posted these kids’ birthday interviews.

Cue all the lamenting about “where does the time go?!”

Every birthday, I print off an interview template and fill it in. I then keep them in a journal dedicated to each child.
(The title is meant to be filled in as “Your child’s name at age they are.” E.G Emily at 5 years old.)
I like to think of it as a birthday time capsule.

Because I’m clearly not dealing with all the emotions of “how is she 5 alreadddyyyy?!” I created a few new designs for some fresher birthday interviews.
