Mixing, Measuring, and Manifesting

🎙️ Tidy Tidbits: Mixing, Measuring, and Manifesting

Episode Summary: Baking, birthdays, and just a little glitter usage—welcome to another episode of Tidy Tidbits! This week, I’m talking about my six-week stretch of birthday joy, my attempts (and failures) at getting cast on a baking show, and the four-gift rule that keeps our family’s celebrations simple and meaningful.

From a Barbie cake with a fondant skirt to a caterpillar cake with a sculpted chocolate face (and yes, that unfortunate cake that looked exactly like my swim briefs), baking has become a key part of how I connect with my daughters during birthday season.

And while I may never win a baking title, I’ve fully embraced my role as Birthday Baking Dad. Listen to the audio clip above for the full story!

Key Takeaways:
🎂 Our Family’s Gifting Philosophy – How the four-gift rule (want, need, wear, read) keeps birthday presents intentional and a bit more stress-free.
🎂 Why I Bake – Big parties aren’t our thing, but a show-stopping cake? That’s our family tradition.
🎂 Why Birthdays Matter – More than just cake and presents, birthdays are a time for reflection, connection, and celebrating the season we’re in.
