A Birthday Well-Spent :)


Sooo Wednesday was my birthday! The big 2-3... And it was a good day indeed. :) Boyfriend bought me my birthday donut -- a family tradition since I turned two. He then completed breakfast/brunch with homemade low-cal stuffed French toast (I'm a lucky lady)! We painted pottery for a while at a local art studio (my favorite). We chose a set of coasters, which was interesting... We each painted two, and we have COMPLETELY different styles & tastes... I'll keep you posted on those. ;) Then we grabbed dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, picked up my birthday present to myself (an iPad!!!), and went to the Red Wings game. We finished the night with some fancy cupcakes, cuddles, and New Girl. Ahh, the perfect day! 

I'm big on birthdays. They're the one day a year that celebrates you and your presence in the world... I have been known to be a little over zealous about my loved ones' birthdays... SORRY I'M NOT SORRY!

What would be your perfect birthday day? :)

    Now look...I think you need to get your hiney to Nashville and lets go paint pottery together! You can have the Hockey though...it's my least favorite sport...we've got the Predators here and I get dragged to the games a few times a year! ;)

      Thank you Laura! The little raspberry yummys are actually stuffed French toast cups, yumm! French toast baked in muffin tins, filled with ricotta and berries, and drizzled with agave nectar! The BEST breakfast in bed. :)
