Birthday

March 6, 2012


Gotta love having a weekend birthday! It was like having 3 birth all-about-me days in a row! Meep!

It all started Friday night. Husby surprised me with a dinner date and this beauty of shortcake heaven.

Saturday was all about being lazy and overindulging. We all slept in (talk about the surprise gift ANY mother lives for), whipped up some blueberry pancakes, and played in PJ’s until noon. Next? DING DONG! A special chocolate covered strawberry delivery! Those tasty morsels were just early appetizers to more food of course. For a late lunch, we tried out this place we’ve been eyeing for a year now. The wait has always been too long… but somehow birthday strings were pulled and we got in! Then it was back home for a family siesta. The evening was spent playing with paint and pottery. We all decided a mixing bowl was fitting since Bubs is my lil’ sous baker.

And Sunday? Take a lucky guess (wait for it)… MORE food and MORE lounging around. A birthday fit for a perpetually hungry and exhausted prego Mama.

    Happy Birthday love! Looks like a great weekend xo

    PS. Your lil man is getting so big and I LOVE his hair! πŸ™‚

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 1:55 pm

      His hair is craziness right now! You should see it when it’s not styled. I need to decide whether to keep growing it out (surfer-ish) or it needs a serious cut. Ha! Thank you so much for the sweet comment. xo

    PLEASE share where you scooped up these adorable red skinny?! Are they maternity?! Love the horn necklace too!

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 1:57 pm

      The red pants look more red on screen but are a pretty bright pinkish red. They’re from Target believe it or not. Not maternity but ride low enough to fit below the belly. You’ll need to buy 3 sizes larger than normal. They’re REALLY skinny, like tight as nylons if you don’t go way bigger. They also come in yellow, green, and blue. The necklace is from F21. Search italian horn and it’ll pop up. xo

    you guys are just the cutest! Happy Birthday! It looks liek you had the best day!

    PS Where did you get your jeans? I have been looking for some cute colored jeans to fit my baby belly!

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 1:57 pm

      Hi Moya, see the comment above. The jeans aren’t maternity but seem to still fit because they ride low. Thank you for the sweet comment. xo

    Happy Birthday! Your family is so flippin cute! Love the pottery making idea. I am going to see if they have that in my area. Much needed date night! πŸ™‚

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 1:59 pm

      Aww, Meg! YOU are the one that’s cute! We actually saw a couple on their first date and it was adorable. What a fun way to talk while doing something that is interactive. xo

    Happy Birthday! It looks like you had a wonderful day/weekend! Those strawberries…. omg, WHERE are they from? They look beyond divine! And the mixing bowl idea looks so cute! Beautiful pictures… thanks for sharing with your readers!! xo

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 2:00 pm

      The strawberries are from Shari’s Berries in the “baby girl” collection. Husby’s cute, huh? Thank you for sharing your sweet thoughts.

  • Marina March 6, 2012 at 3:23 pm

    Happy Bday! Hope you had a wonderful time with your fam. i can’t wait for my lil man to be old enough to do fun stuff like pottery painting.

    Q: where did you get your jeans and flats? you should just start listing where your outfit is from in your posts…LOL. By the way, got the same TOMS for my little man. They look adorbs!

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 2:02 pm

      The jeans are target as well as the flats. However the flats were purchased a few seasons ago πŸ™ I’m always embarrassed to list where my outfits are from in “family style posts” because I’m not sure if people care. Ha! I always list when I actually do a “fashion” post but always let me know if you want to know where something’s from and I’ll reply. xo πŸ™‚

    You look so beautiful as a glowing pregnant lady! Love these pics, happy birthday!

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 2:02 pm

      Thanks, sweet girl.

  • Annie March 7, 2012 at 12:52 am

    Happy Birthday!! You are simply the cutest preggo mama ever! I just found your blog yesterday and lets just say I’ve spent way too much time reading it. I’m officially addicted. πŸ™‚ I’m wondering if you can share some photography tips with me? I do shoot in manual but my pics are not anywhere near as nice as yours. I would love to know more about your editing process too. I would love to learn more so I can hopefully get millions of cute pictures of my little ones before they grow up way too fast!!! Thank you thank you! πŸ˜‰

    • missy March 12, 2012 at 2:03 pm

      I use a Nikon D5000 and edit by lightening and sharpening images when needed. Other than that, I don’t play around much with my pictures. Glad you’re liking the blog! xo

  • Becky March 16, 2012 at 12:22 pm

    Missy,

    I love it when you post where you purchase your clothes. I have a sister-n-law who is expecting her first and she’s about 20 weeks ago. I am surprised your pants and shoes are from Target. I love target! I will have to pass this onto her because I know she’s been looking everywhere for a pair of red pants. πŸ™‚
