Today we celebrated our son’s 4th birthday and made a few simple swaps to keep things a little more sustainable—and a little less Pinterest-pressure perfect.
🎉 Instead of single-use, themed plates, we borrowed reusable ones from The Forever Party Box Sponsored by The Chapel Hill Elementary PTA
🎉 Cloth tablecloths and napkins stepped in for plastic and paper.
🎉 We used some of my son’s favorite toy trucks as decorations—and the kids actually played with them, which was a win-win.
🎉 And we skipped goody bags this year. Honestly? Not a single kid noticed.
Did it mean a bit more cleanup? Sure. But it wasn’t overwhelming—and the party was still full of joy, laughter, and play (the important stuff). Sometimes the simplest choices feel the best. 💙 Thanks Chapel Hill Elementary P.T.A. for offering the reusable party box!!
