For me, I don’t need expensive presents…I just want my loved ones to make me feel special with a thoughtful gesture or gift. I love the card your sone gave you.

Aww! Those are so sweet. Some days I feel like I’m not a good enough mom and I go back and read those cards and it picks me right up. Go Julie Angel! Our birthday rule at our house is…birthday person does NO chores and gets to pick their favorite dinner. EVERYONE loves this, especially me!!

Julie,

Wow!! It is hard not to cry. These are so sweet and forever will be remembered. I love just being able to spend time with my husband, Kevin and my K’s. Kyle is 16, Korey is 14 and my daughter Kacy is 12 years old. They always give me a great card with a special message from them. Those will always be treasured and I am so blessed. I tear up just thinking of how blessed I am and appreciate the love. May your children always bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart!!

Those are the sweetest cards in the world. Thanks for sharing! I love how much kids teach us about thoughtfulness, everyday. They know how to make your day and always seem to know just when you need a pick up. Kudos to your husband too!!

What a great post! Sounds like you have such sweet kids and a very supportive husband. Aren’t these cards and homemade treats the best gifts EVER? I have to say, the most special birthday/mother’s day/special occasion gifts are the homemade things that my kids give me. They are the items that my husband or kids put so much thought into. For my last birthday, my fifteen year old son went to Wal-Mart and bought me -with his own money- a basket filled with candles and lotion. One of the lotions was even anti-stress lavender lotion. It was so sweet. I ended up getting an iPod and several other expensive items but the gift from my son was the best! It is one I will always remember. Great post!

What a sweet card from your daughter – too cute!

What makes birthdays special to me? Hearing from friends. Knowing they’re thinking of me. Nice emails, sweet sentiments in cards, thoughtful gifts from my girlfriends. And feeling special all day long – because I have such great friends.

Thanks Julie!

I love my birthday. I don't keep track of how old I am - you are as old as you feel, my philosophy. What I enjoy most about my birthday is getting phone calls from all of my immediate family. They know I count on it on my special day. They joke that I keep track of each person and mark them off "my list". Thanks for making me smile today!

Wow, now I am crying. I can’t wait for my son to be able to make me homemade cards. I think just being with family and getting a “day off” from work, housework, etc makes a bday special. Of course a nice meal or special event doesn’t hurt either but it is just feeling the love from family and knowing I am appreciated that make it wonderful.
