Are kids’ birthday parties getting a little… out of hand? Between balloon arches, themed bounce houses, and the pressure to outdo last year, it can feel like more stress than celebration. But what if the most meaningful childhood memories came not from the presents or the perfect cake but from the wishes we make and the love we share?

In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I sit down with children’s author Nikki McPhetridge, whose new book Maya’s Birthday Wish invites families to rediscover the joy of simple, heartfelt celebrations. Nikki shares how creativity, traditions, and connection can turn milestone moments into lifelong memories—without draining your wallet or sanity.

We talk about:

• Why simple rituals like candles, songs, and shared wishes stick with kids more than big parties
• How parents can encourage creativity and imagination when celebrating birthdays
• Ways to let go of the “Pinterest pressure” and enjoy the moment
• Nikki’s hope for parents to pause and savor the fleeting magic of childhood

This is a refreshing reminder for any parent who’s ever wondered if they’re doing “enough” for their kids’ special days. Spoiler: you already are.
