There are a lot of generalizations made of mothers that make a big fuss over their child’s first birthday. Why put so much effort and preparation into a day that they won’t ever be able to remember? The invitations, decorating, cooking, cleanup! It’s no easy task, but here is why some people absolutely can’t get enough.

Key Takeaways:

• Moms who love to go all out throwing elaborate parties for their baby’s first birthday don’t always get the kindest feedback from other parents.
• My children are at the very top of the list of people I adore, and I love to treat them to a few hours of wonder and sweet treats as a way of showing them just how special they are to our family.
• First birthdays aren’t just about the food or celebrating a healthy baby, they are also kind of celebrating the parents too.
