If a tree falls and there is no one around to hear it... Does it make a sound?

If my baby has a birthday and no one takes a picture... Did it really happen?

You bet it did. It happened on Saturday. My beautiful baby gal turned one. One year old. Her first ever celebration. We went out with the whole family and had a blast. All of the kids had a great time. No one fussed. No one cried. No one melted down. No one begged for a toy or candy. No one took a picture. No one posted to social media. No one died. Not in our group anyway.

It is possible to go through the day actually looking at your children through your own eyes instead of the camera/camera phone lens. People have done it since the beginning of time. Sure, I felt bad at first but seriously its not a big deal. As a mom, there are going to be millions of things to feel bad about later.

We didn't keeps the phones and cameras locked up or anything. It wasn't a decision we made at the start of the day. We were just having so much fun that we didn't think about it. It's a major step in the right direction.
