What’s going on!
Celebrating a child's first birthday is a cherished milestone. I wanted to create a tradition that I can continue on for the rest of her life, something that she can enjoy & remember forever. I will be baking Olive’s birthday cake every single year! I thought it could be a fun way to celebrate each birthday moving forward!
The night before Olive turned 1, we made the cake together! Of course, she can’t speak yet so mama chose the flavor :) but next year, Olive will get to choose the flavor and help me with the cake!
I will cherish these photos forever, it was really special to be able to do this with Olive. You don’t need an extravagant party, lots of money, or to put pressure on yourself. The memories you create like baking a cake together will be the most special memories for you and your baby : )
My mom had a great idea too! She gifted me “a special plate.” It’s a red plate that is only to be used for special occasions when someone needs to be celebrated. This red special plate will be used for all future birthdays, when we have something to celebrate or if someone has had a hard day and needs to know they are loved. Olive got our special plate!
Next weekend we will have a small family gathering for Olive, so I will come back with more birthday photos! But for now i’ll leave you with my delicious smash cake recipe (which by the way I have had for breakfast every single day since I made it).
What I am making this week!
Copycat Chick-Fil-A Market Salad
Better Than Fast Food. This salad contains the same ingredients as the Chick-Fil-A market salad, but just with higher quality ingredients.
Affordable. For the price of 1 Chick-Fil-A salad, you can make a few different meal prep salads.
Customizable. Easily customize your market salad recipe to add more or less of any ingredient to suit your taste.
Love this idea..
Today you are special plate!
Here’s the today you are special plate from Amazon! This is such a wonderful tradition to use this plate when celebrating a special event, i.e. birthday, honor roll, special sports honor, anniversary, wedding, etc. This is a heavy duty plate, high quality & it’s a vibrant cherry red color. It’s sturdy & will be used in our house to celebrate big life moments!
Ok, let’s get to the new recipe!👇🏼
New recipe - No Sugar Smash Cake
I wanted to make a birthday cake that had wholesome ingredients like ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, and fresh fruit. It is free of refined sugar and it’s almost like a cross between a banana bread & a moist cake!
This is great for anyone that feels like they are not the best baker. It uses real ingredients you probably have sitting in your pantry like oatmeal. There’s no special gadget needed. You can simply use a mixing bowl and a whisk if that’s all you have!
I hope your Childs first birthday is special and memorable! Big hugs xx
