Birthday Magic

11/2/2020

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

It's our annual triple celebration in the Krigsman household... it's my 27th birthday, plus my twin sisters' 11th birthdays!

This pandemic has been rough on my sisters... they've been stuck at home since March and are participating in virtual school, so they don't get to see their friends unless they happen to be on their tablets at the same time to chat. So for their birthdays, we tried to make things as special as possible. We decorated the inside of the house with their favorite color streamers, banners, and more... I'm so thankful that I share my birthday because seeing the girls so excited on their special day makes my own birthday that much better.

Since we couldn't go anywhere today (we've done Disney on our birthdays for the past two years), I also asked some of my friends from work if they would make a quick video for my sisters, wishing them a happy birthday.

​One of my coworkers went ABOVE and BEYOND to make Magic for my sisters... she and her sister (who helped her with the delivery) brought balloons, yard signs, and even bags of gifts for the girls. These were all set up outside of our house and then I was texted so I would know when to have the girls go outside. I knew about the balloons, but I had no idea that they were going to do SO much! My sisters were blown away, and so were the rest of us! The Disney Magic, as my sisters said, truly came to our house.

Now, speaking of Disney Magic, it's Cast Member Monday, so please think about spreading your own magic by helping these furloughed and laid off Cast Members!

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
