Your aware of your budget. And that your daughter is not looking at what you spend but how you spend time with her. You are the all in all in her eyes. Your on the right track and she will appreciate all you do. Your well aware of this if you just think of the value of your coupon book to the kids.lynette355https://www.blogger.com/profile/07162581667028276870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-14502980760942994822008-09-25T13:56:00.000-05:002008-09-25T13:56:00.000-05:00Your b-day plan sounds GREAT and not cheap at all....Your b-day plan sounds GREAT and not cheap at all. She will love the girly things! My kids love making their own cake when their b-day's come around.....much more than picking out a store bought cake. She'll remember the time you spend with her much more than what you bought her. :) :)Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216249110517210487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-3480806988902052872008-09-25T09:25:00.000-05:002008-09-25T09:25:00.000-05:00Those sound like fabulous gifts!

I certainly don't want my kids to grow up materialistic and thinking that how much I spend on them = how much I love them.

I'm only a few days into it... and I probably won't go exactly 30 straight days in a row. Just make sure I get in 30 days during the fall season. It has been so much fun so far!!Tabitha Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019907765384844007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-40094894039762119272008-09-25T08:05:00.000-05:002008-09-25T08:05:00.000-05:00It's not about how big the gift is.

We get noses turned up at us for that, so I think people just like to give their mind no matter how big or how small you go for a birthday. That being said, we didn't really buy our daughter a gift. We just planned a really big party. We have so many family members and friends that she received more gifts than she could handle and everyone had fun. That's just us though, it's an excuse every year to throw a party and have everyone over :) Do what feels right to you!! <BR/><BR/>PS, I like your blog style, so cute.Tabitha Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019907765384844007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-9883697362782189342008-09-25T07:21:00.000-05:002008-09-25T07:21:00.000-05:00In all honesty, she's going to love it, and it doe...In all honesty, she's going to love it, and it doesn't matter to her what it costs. Sometimes just having a friend sleep over is the best kind of party. Just think of all the times a kid has gotten an expensive toy, and sat and played in the box.Wephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778012535731461256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-83327805809442849212008-09-25T06:37:00.000-05:002008-09-25T06:37:00.000-05:00My sister gave Mel a birthday party once, but that...My sister gave Mel a birthday party once, but that was it. That was his only party. I've never done it. I buy him gifts or take him someplace. I'm not really a party person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038955626257319722noreply@blogger.com
