That being said, when it's my birthday I always want to go out. I do enough cooking regularly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-go-out-or-cook-for-birthday-dinners#post-786691 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:50:28 +0000 cranberry 786691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do most of the cooking, so I prefer to go out for special occasions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-to-go-out-or-cook-for-birthday-dinners#post-786557 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:32:40 +0000 yin 786557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like to go out because we don't have time to make fancy meals at home with a toddler.
