Happy Birthday

Today is my partner, daughter and best friend's birthday!  

I am so proud of Bethany and all she has accomplished.  

We're off to a wonderful lunch and having a family celebration this weekend!

That's our girl! 

Have a wonderful birthday honey!

Making an Entrance

I get obsessed with a vignette or 'look' I see online; see above. Man, do I want this entry in my next home! I already have the rug so this could be an easy job.

A mirror looks great sitting against the wall on the chest (note - this beauty was not much more than the silver version at Ikea!).  Adding an ornate chair would emulate the look of the beautiful vintage door in the inspiration pic. Books, baskets and vases all round of the old-world lived-in look. 

BTW - I forgot to mention that Saturday was my lovely mother's birthday. I wanted to put up a nice tribute honoring her mominess but we had an action-packed weekend and time got away. To you Mom - for the millions of breaths you've breathed into my life, from the very start until now! I wish you the happiest of years ahead.  I wouldn't want to do any of this without you.

Happy Birthday!

As a friend, you have shown me your unselfish love and unconditional friendship. You are always there for me. I love you with all my heart and wish you many blessings, love and happiness this year.  Happy Birthday, Bethany!

Love Forever,

Mom

Happy Birthday Nancy!

May this year bring you tons of happiness.  May you not have to worry or fret.  May you have furry and friendly encounters.  May you go to faraway places.  May you laugh until you pee your pants (duh).  May you continue to brighten the days of everyone else around you.  We love you, Mom!

Thanks for the invaluable lessons you've taught me.  Never to make decisions when I'm mad.  To persevere when life throws all kinds of *stuff* at you.  To be the kind of friend you would like to have.  To treat others how you would like to be treated. To err on the side of saying nothing rather than something that isn't nice.  To make new friends and keep the old.  And that this, too, shall pass.

You are the prettiest person I've ever known, inside and out. I love you!
