#11 Birthdays: Do You Go "All Out"?

Nabeeha Khan
About this episode

It's my birthday and I can plan if I want to! Sisters Nabeeha and Wardah Khan discuss those oh-so-special occasions: birthdays! But how do you exactly define a "party"? Should you even be celebrating such occasions? Why is a child's 1st birthday so special to acknowledge? How do you manage so many birthdays? 

Join ours hosts as they deliver reflections and advice on how they've done birthdays for their kids over the years. Listen in for tips on the "experience of the guest," as well as ways to manage party supplies, gifts, and jealous siblings. Finally, hear them talk on the balance between "Pinterest-perfect" birthdays and just a quiet night of cake at home.
