The birthday cluster month.
Do you have one of those?
We have six...yup SIX...close family birthdays within this luna cycle every year.
So we've been merry making, gift making (but Mama is still a little behind on some of that makin' and there is family still awaiting some special gifts from her hands...sorry!) and devilishly baking.
The birthday tablecloth has been pulled out and the bunting hung. The completed gifts have been lovingly wrapped and the homemade cards joyfully coloured and written in readiness for the post.
Phew. That's some celebrating.
Throw in some spotty/measly virus and teeth problems and our feet are truly off the ground and we are being swept along by our party wings alone.....
Maybe February, after this months blue moon, will see this Mama caught up and ready to sink herself (and her feet) into some homely steady comforting rhythm of the new months ahead....

Happy birthday month Leanne!
Put on your wings and FLY from party to party!!
Enjoy! January birthdays are hard to prepare for - its too close to christmas. I very nearly missed my mums B'day yesterday. Not good.
I love the bunting.
Hello =)
Look at that cake! YUM!
Hey we had that spotty thing too!! Someone gave it to my little one as a late birthday present! Hope it didn't linger too long at your place. xxMelissa
Happy January Birthdays to all of you :) Our family celebrates our huge cluster of birthdays in December, about 6 too like you. Fun, but tiring when they are grouped together like that!
Happy Birthdays to everyone. Ours is November, but we only have 4 birthdays. 6 makes for a ton of celebrating.
Looks like a good time. Birthday bunting is my favorite thing to hang. Love the way you made the "Happy Birthday" chocolate letters to top the cake, very clever.
I love your birthday traditions.
September is my birthday cluster and you have reminded me of 2 things with this post. 1. I am a mad bunting person so why dont I have a Birthday Bunting yet??? and 2. I think its time for me to take down the Christmas Bunting .
Hope you have a happy happy month!
Happy birthdays everyone! Our month is July, all four of us (me, hubby, 2 kids) plus my brother and mother in law too!
Hope you enjoy your 'flighty' month and land happily into February :)
happy birthday to all who are celebrating birthdays :)
hope spots leave and happiness abounds.

Happy Birthdays all around! That cake looks divine- love the chocolate (?) writing idea, the adorable kid-made cards and the bunting looks beautiful too!
July is the big birthday month for my family, but everyone lives far away.
Happy birthday to your 6 January birthdays! I love family traditions and your bunting, tablecloth, cards and cake all look perfect.
That's an amazing looking cake! I wonder what kind it is. Happy Birthdays!

Sending birthday wishes to your family! We are also approaching Birthday Season. The first two are coming this weekend, and I am scurrying to get ready!
