A March Birthday

 

Happy first day of spring! I'm sitting at my desk by our bedroom window and the sky is so pretty as the sun is setting at 7:40pm. It looks and feels like a spring evening.

We celebrated our darling girl's 13th birthday yesterday. I can barely believe my baby is 13!!! We went to brunch at her favorite brunch cafe, did a little shopping, and came back home for cake and pizza for dinner. It was a really fun day celebrating her. One of her gifts was a new telescope and she seems to really be enjoying it. She has the day off from school tomorrow and we have an appointment for her yearly eye exam. I think it may be time for a  new prescription. And we are visiting my parents in the afternoon so they can have a belated birthday celebration with here. It should be a nice day.

I hope you had a great weekend! Have a great first week of spring!

What I've Been Up To Lately

 

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. It seems like January and February are somewhat slow months, but once March arrives life seems to just get busier, and I'm okay with that. Our sweet daughter will celebrate her 13th birthday this month and I can barely even believe it! She asked for us to go to brunch at her favorite French brunch cafe and for pedicures in the afternoon and maybe a little shopping. I've made the reservation and pedicure appointments so we are all set. It should be a really fun day celebrating our girl! I'll also have a homemade cake waiting and ready for us when we return home. She's going back and forth with getting her ears pierced, so maybe that will happen too. I want to buy her a nice pair of birthstone earrings -  I think that would be extra special.

Okay, so I recently bought a new plant, a nice bunch of spring flowers at the grocery store last week, and made a batch of ridiculously delicious frozen mango margaritas yesterday that we had alongside fish tacos. It was a good Saturday just pottering around the house. What did you do this weekend? I hope it was a good one!

 Have a great week, everyone. I'm off on a field trip with my daughter for the day this week and we finally have someone coming out to replace our fridge/freezer lights on Thursday. Yay!

I've also been watching way too much news and constantly praying for the people of Ukraine and for our world.
