Jane got this photo of me before my birthday party started…
What is it about the warm weather that has me craving a beer? Maybe because I can’t drink one!?
But I am craving a Coor’s Light like you CANNOT imagine!
A nice, frosty, iced-cold Coor’s Light. With a big, greasy slice of pepperoni pizza.
OK. […]

My birthday was a great day. I relaxed. Spent time with my boys. Worked (which I love). And to ring in my 30th birthday night (in preparation for May 30th - SEX IN THE CITY MOVIE!) I rented the whole last season of Sex and the City to get myself (shall […]

When each of my grandchildren celebrates a birthday, I buy a special pair of pajamas (anything from dinosaurs to race cars and rockets, princesses to snow bunnies and flowers) and have them embroidered with the birthday date and year. I make absolutely sure that the pajamas are given on the actual birth-day, so the […]

Tomorrow I will be 30 years old.
30 years old.
I’ve never been one of those people who “dreads” certain ages. I have always embraced each birthday with a sense of excitement, contentment and gusto!
30 will be no different.
My 20’s have been good to me. 10 years of growing… learning… dreaming… reaching… loving and moving […]

My Grandma had a Sixteen Candles moment this weekend for her birthday.
She woke up on Saturday morning to no birthday wishes whatsoever.
No calls or emails (yes, she emails!) from her children, grandchildren or siblings.
Nothing. No one to acknowledge the 83 years she has spent on this earth.
What’s worse, there was no Jake Ryan to pine […]

Yesterday we celebrated Benjamin’s 1st birthday.
When I arrived at Audrey’s house, family and friends were talking and laughing, gathering together around the food counter or in the living room or down in the basement.
Kids were running around the house in packs, planning kickball teams and donning their newly-made paper crowns.
There was excitement everywhere. And then […]

Matt and I decided on our oldest son William’s 1st birthday that we wanted to start a yearly birthday tradition.
Something fun. Something easy. And something William would get a “kick out of” as he grew older.
We decided to take a photo of him every year on his birthday in the same XL shirt […]

Today is Benjamin’s birthday party.
But last night we got to celebrate our Benjamin with just our family…
And it was so nice being with my boys.

We pretty much had to bribe William and Alexander with chocolate cupcakes and chocolate milk if they would JUST look at the camera and smile! (Alexander bought into it more than […]

Happy Birthday Benjamin!
At 7:01am last April 4th, our lives changed forever because you entered our world!
For 38 1/2 weeks (you were 8 days early!) I referred to you as “to-be.” All of my journal entries throughout my pregnancy call you that… even when we knew you were a Benjamin Barry David.
My “to-be.” My […]

Happy Birthday to Pinks & Blues!
We turn 1 TODAY!
This is Audrey… I cannot believe that a year has gone by for us. A whole year. 12 months. 365 days. It’s mind-boggling! Not only has this last year been so much fun working on our Pinks & Blues site… but I have gotten to work every […]
