After my first child's first birthday in April of 2021, my husband and I found ourselves in a room full of gifts. Although we were moved by the outpouring of love for our girl, we were also conflicted, ideologically and philosophically.
Our enthusiasm for this new chapter was felt in our interactions and our promise to never let as much time pass before we convened again. Party guests showed their excitement in other ways, too: their gifts.
I realized that I had now been tasked with organizing and finding a place for all her new gifts. The feeling of overwhelm started.
