In Janni Kusmagk’s family, all members have celebrated their birthdays in recent months – most recently son Merlin. After all the emotional celebrations, the former surfer now feels a “hangover”.
Ever since the Kusmagks started their adventure, every single member of the family has celebrated their birthday. On September 3, 2023, Merlin was the last to celebrate his second cradle party. The proud mom made a touching declaration of love for her little one for the special occasion – but also emphasized how exhausting the past celebrations had been.
Janni Kusmagk addresses moving words to son Merlin
On her Instagram account, the mother of three posted a clip showing the highlights of Merlin’s birthday party, from blowing out the candles on the cake to inspecting the presents. “You are two now. You beautiful person – you only see the best in everything and are satisfied with so little. You have so much respect, carry so much love and bring so much clarity with you that I actually can’t believe that you are only two should be here for years… Your soul brings so much breadth, wisdom, so much light [sic]”, writes Janni Kusmagk.
It continues: “We will never forget the golden light that carried us through this day – so that the magic of life accompanies you forever, little, big Merlin. Nice that you exist. Your mom. [sic]”
She paid attention to sustainability
In her Instagram story, the former surfer gives further insights into her son’s big day – and also reviews the previous celebrations. Because all Kusmagk birthdays had one thing in common: the decoration. “We’ve had the same garland for all of our birthdays this summer and haven’t bought any extra decorations. It’s nice not to have junk after birthdays [sic]”, muses Janni.

The “Happy Birthday” garland has now become a kind of ritual, and it was also used on Grandma’s day of honor and that of a friend.

Merlin’s gifts – two toy vacuum cleaners – are also sustainable. Because the 33-year-old got hold of them on Ebay, which is why “no new plastic had to be released into the world”.
“Feeling hangover” after the birthday marathon
As beautiful as all these special moments were, they would have left their mark, reveals the former “Adam sucht Eva” participant. “Day after the ‘party: hangover. I don’t want to give you the wrong impression after the beautiful post and impressions of the day yesterday [sic]”, writes Janni to a picture of herself in which she closes her eyes exhausted.

She also explains that there were emotional outbursts at the celebrations, especially jealousy, “because two children always have no birthday.” That is completely normal. However, the little ones have to contend with other hurdles: Two kids have “wobbly teeth”, another one has molars – “a lot of emotions in the air”, emphasizes Janni and adds: “We do our best to accompany the feelings. Satisfying all needs anytime is simply impossible. Perceiving them is sometimes enough [sic].”
