I hardly ever do those birthday posts for any of my kids. I do a little shoutout on Instagram and Facebook but that's about it. Does that make me a bad mom/blogger? Does it mean I love my kids any less? No, it doesn't. It just means that instead of going all googly eyed and … Continue reading Ethan at 4 years old
