Normally, I have gotten away from birthday posts, but I read this blog post and some of the comments yesterday. (Don't click on through unless you have lots of time.) Boy, has it go me thinking! It makes me want to be a more honest blogger. Not that I've been a dishonest blogger, not at all. But it makes me want to be more real here. More well rounded. But more on that later...I've got some celebrating to do!
Happy Friday to you!

Wishing your precious daughter a very happy birthday.... and very happy BIRTHday to her parents!
You're not kidding about that post being a rabbit hole! I'm in the midst of it now, and it has already made me start thinking more about my blog too! Including how I need to comment more. So, here I am. Happy birthday to your daughter!
Ha! I read that post too... thought provoking in the best way!
Happy Birthday to your sweetie! Have a wonder-filled day with her!
I like that post - just don't have the time to read all of the wonderful comments! Thanks for pointing it out :)
Have a wonderful day!!
Happy birthday to the 5 year old! What a great day to celebrate! Have fun today.
Thanks for sharing that post about being honest in our blogs. I agreed with many of her points, which made me want to come up with a list of my own unpopular opinions, just for fun!
Have a WONDERFUL birthday!! Filled with fun and lots of memories. They grow all too fast.
Happy Birthday to your little Big girl!!!
Happy birthday to your little princess! My little princess turned 5 Tuesday, so I know that melancholy feeling. It goes by so fast! Enjoy every second! Hope she has a great day!
Happy Birthday to your little angel! Hope you guys have a fun filled day -- and that it's warmer there than it is here -- brrrr!
Five is such a big birthday! My sweet girl is five and sometimes it's hard not to be sad about the time passing but I'm usually able to think about all of the wonderful adventures she has ahead of her at THIS age and enjoy watching her grow.
Relish every moment of today with her. So wonderful that your husband gets to be a big part of the day!
Hi! I read that post yesterday and it made me think also. But, I am such a newbie, I'm not sure if my blog has even had a chance to be real or unreal. However, I have always found you to be fun and real...I enjoy reading what you've been up too...and your family!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you all have a fabulous day.
Oh - Happy Birthday!!! Five is Fabulous! Have fun
Happy Birthday to your sweet little one. I know you will enjoy the day!
So sweet! I had a hard time when my little one turned 6 'cause I couldn't count her age on just one hand anymore ...
Happy birthday to you daughter :)Have lots of fun :) they grow up so fast, my daughter is nearly 17 and I just don't know where the years went!
I agree, being 5 is a very special, magical time of life. Definitely one of my favorite birthdays ever!
Happy Birthday to your special baby! I hope you ALL have a wonderful day!! (Too bad it's not a little warmer!)
Happy Birthday, little girl! :)
I just hate it when they grow up, but there's just no stopping it.
Happy Birthday to your daughter!!
Little ones know how to CELEBRATE!!!
I read that blog last week when it was posted though I agreed with some of the points overall the negativity really bummed me out. There was so much whining in the comments, if you don't line a line fabric, don't buy it. I was happy that I didn't read any "I hate" people who just copy what I do, that's why I read blogs for the ideas I am unable to come up with on my own.
Yay for her birthday. Hope the card I sent arrives today.
happy birthday crazy mom's baby girl!!! hope you have a spectacular day!! jenn
How lovely to hear her singing with excitement. The photograph is a keeper, what a cutie. We love you Crazy Mom, you can tell us anything - insight is good
Happy birthday to that beautiful girl! Funny, the more blogs that I read (and write) the "rounder" I get. Be careful what you wish for! ;)
Happy Birthday to your now 5 year old daughter! Time really flies!
Have a wonderful celebration.

A very Happy Birthday to your little girl! Have a wonderful evening!!
My baby turned 5yo in December. She still lets me tote her around under my arm (with her long skinny legs sticking out and a HUGE smile across her face), but I won't be able to do that for long. It sure flew by.

Happy day to you both! I read that post too. AJ, you are genuine and that comes through in your posts and your projects. Loud & clear!
Happy birthday baby girl! It's also my sons 21st bday. I love my big (man) boy, but sure do miss the *little* days.
Enjoy every minute of her being five years old! Happy Birthday Crazy Daughter!
Hope it was a fun day. Did you plant a tree as it was Arbor Day too?
Feliz cumpleaños para la princesa!!!!!!!!
A BIG Happy Birthday to your 5 year old princess.
Have a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday to your daughter, hope you all had a great day enjoying your time together. I started reading the blog you referenced, and you're right, life's too short to not be YOU. My blog is my daily quilt diary and my accountability to ME. If I get followers, great, but that's not why I'm blogging.
Happy Birthday Sweet A! Hoe you had a wonderful day!
5 is one of the bestest years! Happy birthday, girlie!
AmandaJean, I am honored that you shared my post with your readers. I enjoy following your blog and so value the online sewing community. I hope that in the end the discussion that somehow began will be beneficial to that community.
Sincerely,
Rachel
what a sweet photo! looking at those eyelashes makes me think of little girl butterfly kisses :) have a great day!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful little girl!
She is precious!
I feel exactly the same as you about her growing up.
I had 2 boys and then a girl, and my baby girl is getting married this summer! It all goes so fast!
p.s. I got the Art Quilt Collection yesterday. It is fantastic!

Little Miss is 5 already?? wow! where did the time go??? Have a great time celebrating - I miss you friend!
Happy birthday to your "baby" girl! When I saw her photo pop up, I thought, "this can't be Amanda Jean's daughter... she's not this big yet." She's grown quickly, and I understand the melancholy that sets in before a birthday. But I hope the celebrations were fun. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. And blog what you want to blog - I think everyone finds honesty refreshing. I may be inspired by your link myself...
A very happy birthday to your "baby" girl!
Wow. It doesn't seem possible that your baby is 5! Where does the time go????
Love hearing how excited and happy she is to be 5. Belated happy birthday to your sweet girl. Hope you had a great time celebrating!
I was going to comment on this earlier but your link to the "honesty" blog post sucked me in and I never returned to say Happy Birthday to a special 5-year-old!
Happy birthday little one!! What a great day!
OOh I love that starry night quilt! Today I'm doing some research work and looking at Flickr...not necessarily in that order ;) I am also going to make a chicken and leek pie, yum!
