  • Last year we started this tradition of giving a gift each day of the week leading up to our kid’s birthday. It spreads out the celebration and gives them an opportunity to pause and appreciate each gift rather than opening them all at once. They look forward to this with great anticipation - and so do I!

    Spurgeon is so mature for his age! So much patience with his younger siblings, and so well spoken. I love seeing parents who prioritize raising their children, and do things like the week long birthday to let them know they are treasured.

    I love how he was grateful each day even if his gift wasn't a "toy". You are a great mama Jessa. With all the bad stuff going on with your (Duggar) family you still stay so positive and kind. Especially to your kids. I'm twice your age but I could learn a lot from you. Thanks for sharing.

    Happy 6th Birthday Spurgeon! You can tell Ivy was thinking about having a bite of that ice cream but then made the right decision to obey mamma and put it back, you are right mom, Ivy demonstrated beautiful self control in doing the right thing. God's blessings to you and your family!

      I gave my son his Swiss Army knife when he was 6, It is still brand new, in the box in his nightstand. He is 13 now, he said he doesn't want to mess it up, oh well, I tried.

    I just love how your stretch your children's birthdays for a whole week, with a meaningful gift on each day. I did this for my roommate one year. She had grown up in foster care & hadn't always had the best birthdays. I gave her a gift each day with the main gift being on her actual birthday. She said it made her feel special. I know your children feel so special when you do this for them. It also seems that they get to really enjoy each gift as they receive them.💕

    Jesse is so different from my mom who also had 4 kids. She never worked, My father always worked yet my mom always made it like she was the busiest person ever. She’d NEVER celebrate our birthdays for a week because Everything was a bother to her haha jessa encourages the kids to do things. My mom was always afraid of us getting hurt. Also, Jessa’s patience is beautiful to watch. I love this family ❤️🥰
