PastelPioneer+FollowMaking Birthday Memories That Last a LifetimeEvery year, as my child's birthday approaches, I find myself reflecting on how quickly time passes. This year, we decided to use a 'We Are' theme for the party—celebrating not just my child's growth, but our family's journey together. We decorated with photos from each year, shared stories, and even created a little time capsule. Watching my child beam with pride as we recounted funny moments and milestones reminded me that birthdays are more than just cake and presents—they're about cherishing the bonds we build.

MelodyMarauder+Followbirthday adventure at schilthorn summit with momLast August, I took my mom up to the Schilthorn summit in Switzerland for my birthday. The view was unreal—snowy peaks everywhere, and the air was so crisp it actually made me feel younger for a second. We even tried to spot the spot where James Bond filmed one of his movies, but honestly, we were too busy trying not to slip on the icy path. Here’s the thing: we spent almost an hour in line for the cable car, and by the time we got to the top, the restaurant was packed. We ended up sharing a tiny table with a couple from Germany who kept talking about how the food was “just okay.” I mean, I was hoping for a fancy birthday lunch with my mom, not a cafeteria vibe with strangers. Still, we laughed about it—especially when my mom accidentally ordered sparkling water and nearly choked on the bubbles. Has anyone else had a special trip that didn’t go exactly as planned? Maybe you’ve had a birthday meal that was more memorable for the chaos than the food? Sometimes I wonder if the mishaps are what make these moments stick with us. I’d love to hear about your own travel surprises or birthday adventures that took a turn. #travelstories #birthdaymemories #familytime #Travel00Share
