A few Favorite Birthday Gifts.
I just celebrated my birthday at the beginning of the month. It was such an amazing day. It started off with a morning of gifts and love from my husband and boys, followed by a drive up the canyon to a hot springs swimming pool, which was definitely the highlight of my day. It's a pretty good size outdoor pool with the warmest, purest water ever! The pool has a metal roof and on this morning it started pouring down rain, so here I was, surround by loved ones, (we had the place to ourselves) and swimming my little Pisces heart out in the warmest water ever while listening to the sound of rain on a metal roof. I tell ya, I had such a moment of pure bliss! I was in heaven!
Afterwards, we went out to lunch at the Cheesecake factory (my favorite), did a little shopping at Pottery Barn (also my favorite), and that evening I had some lovely girlfriend over for drinks.
It clearly turned into a special day.
But besides, that became weeks ago, and now regular I'm waving bye to another day of my thirties.
(I turned 39 through the manner)
I'm not here to just talk about my Birthday, I'm also here to talk about my Birthday Presents! 😆 I received some really fun and thoughtful gifts so I wanted to show them to ya today.
So let's start with my presents from my sweet husband, Jake. He did Awesome by the way. I loved this clever idea he came up with; he gave me five gifts, each with a letter on it spelling out my name.
But then the gifts inside all started with each letter of my name. Isn't that such a sweet idea?
E = jewelry
M = mat
I = ice cube molds that appear to be diamonds
L = Lucky Brand shirts
Y = yoga mat
Okay, but the sweetness doesn't stop there. Check out this lamp that my son, Liam MADE for me!
My husband took the boys to World Market to do a little birthday shopping for me. Liam saw a driftwood lamp that he knew I would just Love, however, the price tag on it was a bit high. Well then Liam noticed some lamp bases for sale, and he decided that with "mom's stockpile of driftwood" he could make one himself. And he did! Nothing could make this mommy blogger any prouder than having her son DIY a birthday present for her, Using Driftwood none the less! Big heart moment here!
My son, Jaxon also melted my heart with his gift. He gave me an ice cream cone kitchen timer that is super adorable. He also gave me a box of Tam Tam cookies, but those were long gone before I could snap a picture of them :)
Okay, get ready for this! My friends are always so jealous of my Mother-in-law and for the cute gifts she always picks out for me. I mean, what mother-in-law buys you cute clothes that you actually wear? Mine Does! But this time she gave me some cute clothes that I picked out myself on one of our shopping trips, but she did surprised me with this adorable rug from HomeGoods!
I love it! check out the tassels on the edges. Super-Super Cute!
But that is no longer all, due to the fact she likes to spoil me, she also gave me this white timber crate with rope handles, also from Home Goods.
I determined the perfect spot for it in our entryway, which should be no wonder, I've transfer the look up again. I play around lots in this little area.
My parents sent me a in reality candy card with a few cash in it. And so I spent that money on a brand new pillow from Pottery Barn :) It's absolutely a sham, however shams/throw pillows, they are all the same to me, specifically in terms of the daybed in our office in which I pile them on high. :)
I also brought my new rug into our sunroom and layered it over the rug that I already had in here. I concept the combination of styles were amusing collectively.
There's really an entire lot of styles happening on this room and I've were given to say, I'm sincerely liking it!
So then, like I mentioned, my girlfriends came over that evening bringing awesome gifts with them; like this cute anchor wind chime for my wind chime collection. You all know how much I love anchors and wind chimes so this gift was just 'So Me'.
Yes way Ros?! This wine glass is so pretty, it's now my new 'special event' wine glass, because each person wishes a special event wine glass :)
I additionally acquired a few amusing fine pens in conjunction with a quite water colored pocket book.
The fine pens have little messages on them to make you smile while you operate them.
Adorable, right?
I also think these are 'So Me'!My friends know me well.
Now, I've been caring this 'S' decal round our domestic trying to determine what to put it on, but I can not determine because it may look lovely on so many different things... So I'll hold you published on anywhere it ends up.
And ultimately, I can always count on my Best Friend to ship me the best rings ever! These jewelry are made from a pink copper turquoise. I did not even know that turquoise may be any other coloration than turquoise, but reputedly it is able to, who knew?
It's always exciting for me to put away my new gifts and to find the perfect spot for everything. My new mat got placed by our front door, and everyone who has stopped by since has commented on how cute it is.
The mat goes flawlessly with our blue the front door.
And as for my unique new driftwood lamp, properly, I located the best coloration for it at Walmart and it now sits on my desk, making me smile each time I look at it.
Am I spoiled or What!?
This does not include all of the cards, gift cards, phone calls, e-mails, and social greetings that I also received. I am extremely blessed to have such amazing friends and family in my life.
