Where’s my lollipop? – Wordless Wednesday
The inspiration for Eli’s Lids inspires me again…

Is your birthday on a holiday?
Side Note: She was due on February 5th and the ONLY day I DIDN’T want her to be born was on Valentine’s day. Ha! Sure enough that little sucker came 9 days late, on V-day!
After she was born I couldn’t help but be sad that she was going to get shistered on her birthday every year by her future husband or she would be one of those folks that has such a high expectation for their birthday that nothing could ever live up.
My idea to off set the future therapy factor is to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the 13th. That way…
a) Cora gets her actual Birth Day to herself
b) Eli isn’t getting a gift on his sister’s actual birthday (because it is totally lame if your sibling gets a gift on your birthday… I mean shouldn’t they learn to be excited when someone else gets something special and not feel entitled to something themselves!)
c) If we do her birthday after the V-day festivities then (my thought is) the birthday is what will be most remembered.
What do you think?
REALLY!
I need to know.
Is your birthday on a holiday? (or near one?)
What did your parents do that totally sucked?
What did they do that was totally awesome?
Birthday Cupcake Dessert
Cora made this funny face the whole time we sang to her…
She got used to the whole thing as soon as she had a cupcake in her hand…
It’s so easy to make birthday’s special for you little ones! She’ll have a party on another day but on her actual brithday we always do something!
(Since Cora’s bday is on Valentines, we have another tradition I’ll share tomorrow… and I’m going to want your opinion if you have a holiday birthday in your family!!)
Do you do a birthday dessert or something else special on your kiddo’s actual Birthday?

I'm honored you clicked on Eli's Lids...I love visitors! Explore the blog to learn what really makes Eli's Lids so awesome... my little family and my inspiration... Eli! I'm a stay at home mama who starting sewing adorable "Lids" for my son in 2006. Before I knew it, friends and family were requesting Lids for their kids and baby shower gifts. I decided to sew my little heart out and start Eli's Lids! I've worked really hard to create a unique practical style for moms just like me. I hope you like them too. Many Blessings from my family to yours! ~Kara-Noel
Hot Hubby is the resident tech guy at Eli’s Lids. He gets all my ideas onto the computer so I can create. He is also the lifter of heavy things, killer of (small) spiders, and indulges my Anthropologie obsession. Though he has been know to slack off regularly because everybody knows he’s sleeping with the boss… often.
Our first born and the original inspiration for Eli’s Lids. Pirate obsessed. Cautious. Loves peach yogurt and veggies. Tells knock knock jokes like nobody’s business. Tall. Striking blue eyes. Doesn’t let anyone pick on his lil’ sister and brother… except him!
Dances to the beat of her own lil’ drummer. Loves getting her nails painted and playing games on Daddy’s iPhone. Adventurous. Perfect hair. Hates mornings. Can give a mean stink eye. Wants to read princess books all day.
My favorite (yeah I said it). Snuggler. Sweet tempered. Knock-out smile. French kisses everyone. Water baby. The reason I want more kiddos!
New Baby
