To say my house was a party year round would be true, but also a huge understatement. Iâm the oldest of five kids, all of us born within six years of each other. Yep, thatâs right â Iâm 34 and the youngest is 28. No multiples either. From a young age, our parents instilled in us the idea that it is important to celebrate â I mean, as the oldest child, I got a birthday cake every month for a year on the 27th.
Birthday parties were no small feat â five different themes, groups of friends, orders to the âcake ladyâ asking (almost exclusively) for Disney princess and batman masterpieces, loot bags to the nines and every detail in between. Easter egg hunts lasted a couple hours but they were no joke â if we were spending the holiday in Florida visiting my grandparents, my parents lugged a suitcase full of enough chocolates for five kids along with them â I mean, they canât not bring the stuff that they get year after year from How Sweet It Is (which, unfortunately, is no longer around).
But Christmas, Christmas is the holiday where my parents, especially my mom, really shone! It was a time for tradition, for decorating the tree together, for making sure we always had turtles on hand, for checking all of the lists (twice), and making sure no stone, whether it be gifts, décor, table settings, flowers, Christmas crackers, or of course, the wine, was left unturned. My mom worked hard to make sure all of us were smiling a little wider and a little more frequently than the rest of the year Santa (aka Mom, aka Cath), legit, never skipped a beat at our house. Christmas was and always will be the most special time of year for me. My extended family consists of over 25 people. The room was loud, full of love, lots of laughs, no empty chardonnay glasses, and always with some Frank Sinatra playing the background.
All of that to say that Iâm Amanda Julia and I truly believe that a childhood spent celebrating ALL OF THE THINGS, always with the perfect ingredients to ensure a stellar party, has led me to where I am today â officially launching my very own event planning business, amanda julia events.
