My birthday

Saturday, September 15th, 2012

Breakfast: Berries with honey and cream.

Dinner: Moby Dick kabobs for the grownups and Five guys for the kids.

Dessert: Whole Foods pastries

New cookbooks from H.

A lovely robin egg blue Ikea cart from Granzie and Auntie H. I can’t believe I didn’t take a pic when it was set up!

Ebay-ed this Boden wallet with bday money from Grams.

I replaced my cheap etsy LOVE pillowcases with the real thing. Thanks Darling!

New dress from the JCrew outlet that I picked out from Darling. It reminds me of a Joan (from Mad Men) dress!

New Boden sweater (on sale from Spring) that I picked out from Darling.

A berry pink pencil skirt from JCrew (on sale plus an additional 30%, fabulous!) with my bday money from Grams.

And I had a lovely weekend trip to see my sis and nephews from my parents. I left my phone at home so I don’t have pics…just lovely memories

And N got me 2 lovely shirts and my favorite panties!

Holy cow! No wonder I love my birthday Thank you so so much to my family and friends. It was a nice day spent with Darling and the kids (Christian took the day off). AND I love all my treats!

Mila did this fun craft with a sweet friend and then I made the boys make some too. I guess they are not finished yet but I’ll show you anyway. I still have to write their names and date around the outside. This outline will make it look more like a heart I think. I might even frame them.

Valentine’s Day was my 15th survival anniversary. It was good. Mila and I had lunch at the co-op and we had my favorite Tara Thai takeout for dinner. Oh and I made molten chocolate baby cakes on the spur of the moment. So yummy. Lovely day for a Tuesday. I am quite thankful I made it this far
