And with the blink of an eye, she’s 10

Stella is 10.

Double digits.

I don’t know how I went from limping around with stitches in my va-jayjay a brand-new mother to one hosting a bunch of tree-climbing kids. It just happened with the blink of an eye.

This year, she did not want a themed birthday party. She did not want decorations. She did not want cake (and opted by Pavlova instead). She did not want parent-led games or activities.

But she still wanted a homemade card.

And she still wanted a birthday pinata. This year’s theme: the hummingbird!

Thank goodness some things haven’t changed. This mama is having a hard enough time accepting that her “baby” is a “tween” as it is!
