Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday was a week ago, and I've been meaning to post a picture of the BEST BIRTHDAY TREATS EVER.


MMMMM. Mini Rainbow Frogs... on CUPCAKES... two of my most favorite things ever! Seriously, do my Emily friends know me, or what?? Thank you, Emilys!

I like birthdays for one main reason - you get to pig out for a week straight. You have friends and family that want to take you to lunch or dinner or make you treats to celebrate, so you spread them out over a week... or two. My birthday was a week ago, and I went to dinner with a friend tonight for my birthday, and I'm going again tomorrow night with another friend who also has a February birthday - so technically tomorrow night we're both celebrating. Yes, I have to work twice as hard at the gym, but... those cupcakes with mini frogs... SO WORTH IT.

For those of you who hate having your birthday recognized, or being fussed over for the day (or week), at least celebrate privately that you're alive. There is so much beauty in the world, in spite of all the garbage around us. If all else fails, look up; see the clouds, or the sun, or the moon and stars. Or a really cool sunset.


This helps me gain a little perspective, and to be grateful that I'm alive and able to be amazed every day. :)

Yum! I'm glad your birthday was so much fun! I think we should wait until it's just a little bit warmer for our photoshoot, but it's happening sista!
