Birthdays. It’s no secret I love mine. Like love, love, love as in celebrate it the entire month of April (do you do that, too?). It’s the one day of the year you can have your cake and eat it too (literally). It conjures up memories of childhood parties, cupcakes, pure warm-hearted sugar-fueled nostalgia. Here, a few things I’m sweet on these days.  I’d love to know how you like to celebrate YOUR birthday and what’s on your fantasy wishlist?
