Episode Synopsis

The quince episode is here! From ballgowns to bibs, this week we're talking about the emotional rollercoaster of planning your baby’s 1st birthday—and reflecting on how our own milestones, like quinceañeras, shape the way we celebrate now. Whether you're the mom who wants to DIY every detail or you're wondering if pizza and paper plates will do the trick, this episode is for you. We’re sharing our own 1st birthday emotions, what surprised us about the planning process, how we approached the budget (and where we’d do things differently), and whether or not we think a second birthday party is even necessary. Plus, we get into the guest list—because yes, even baby parties come with politics—and wrap up with the honest advice we’d give any mom planning her little one’s big day. So grab a drink (milk or mimosa, we don’t judge) and join us for a heart-filled, hilarious look at what it really means to celebrate that first trip around the sun.Time stamps::30-7:31: Did you have a quinceanera?! 7:32-13:05: 1st birthday emotions 13:05-30:09: Planning the 1st bday30:10-34:01: Birthday budget 34:01-36:57: 2nd birthday party?  36:58-46:37: Guest list thoughts 46:38-48:52: Advice we’d give
