Tons of birthday-themed content this week .. in my house, Christmas & birthdays are celebrated BIG (which also makes sense I guess because Christmas is Jesus’ birthday!). Here are some of my big FAVORITES from my birthday week!
My week kicked off with a package from my brother in law & in his wife – they sent me some slip-on style Adidas UltraBoosts and ZOMG, the comfiest shoes ever!? I have regular UltraBoosts and love them already but had never tried these slip-on ones. LOVE.
Another favorite this week is realizing that I can trim down my beloved press-on nails to make them a more “mom-friendly” length. My friend S was telling me she does that all the time when she wears press ons and I just had to try for myself to see if it were really that easy. For some reason I’d always assumed the nails would crack or break if I tried to clip them but yo…. I literally just clipped them like I would do my own nails. THESE PRESS ONS ARE SO COOL, I swear you’re never going to see me without a set on now.
FaceTiming with this cutie and seeing the AirPod sticking out of her tiny little ear was another favorite for me this week!
As was waking up on my birthday morning and coming out to the kitchen to this beautiful sight! The gifts were wrapped when I came out but I didn’t take a picture of it … here’s a picture of everything UNwrapped. Can you guess who got me what!? 😂
I also wore these tiny star earrings that my friend S (yes, same friend who told me how to trim press on nails) bought me and AHHHH OBSESSED. New favorite earrings for sure!! I love me a good dainty earring 🙂
Friends who know me well and love on me big were a major favorite… my sister from another mister A sent me this VEGAN brie snacking board on my bday! She texted me saying that something was getting delivered and when I saw it was a cheese platter I was a little confused at first because she should know I am trying to stay away from dairy. But then she told me it’s ALL VEGAN and I freaked the flip out. This box was SO good, J & I tore into it.
Getting ALL THE FLOWERS was a favorite this week, too! My husband got me the gorgeous arrangement on the left, which I really love because I can use it as a centerpiece and don’t have to stick it in a vase. The middle bouquet is from my in laws (so sweet) and the right is from my big sis church friend that I always talk about (the one who is reading through The Peacemaker with me).
BWAHAHAHH getting this adorable video of my two favorite faux-nieces totally made my night and is my next favorite. They sang me Happy Birthday but like … a tricked out version? I don’t know, you know how when we were little kids there were alternate lyrics and stuff to the Happy Bday song that we would sing? It was like that but a 2021 version that I’d never heard before. Eemo loves you, M1 & M2!
Getting to eat dinner at my FAVORITE Italian restaurant was so much fun this week. The pasta was so freakin good (as always) and I enjoyed not one but TWO of these white sangria. I was definitely prancing out of the restaurant hahahaah.
Watching these two DEEP in discussion about life things was so much fun for me as a mom. D LOOOOOVES talking about life with his dad and I love it!
Realizing that A can totally write her name by herself was an unexpected favorite for this week!
My favorite people with me on (one of) my favorite day(s).
Coming home from my birthday dinner and having cake with my kids/husband was my last favorite this week! J bought all the kids these extremely loud … horns? I don’t know what they’re called .. those little tassle blow-things. Anyway, he bought those for all the kids and they were RUNNING all over the house and yelling HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY. They also sang to me three separate times, once in English, once in Korean, and once in Spanish. HAHAHHHAHAHA. This year’s birthday has been my favorite birthday in recent memory. So much love and joy!
