Happy Saturday! I hope you had a great week! Mine has been a little busier than usual so I’m sharing a few recent events instead of my usual Saturday 6 today. Lots of fun things coming to the blog next week too so I’m excited about that! I turned 48 on Tuesday. 48! I think I was around 30 when I started blogging so wow. Crazy how quickly time really does go by. We are all getting old! ;) Last weekend was beautiful weather here but the rain hit on my birthday and this week has been a wet and cloudy mess! It might have made for some not so good hair, but it didn’t stop us from celebrating. :)
My cute friends took me to lunch and totally spoiled me and honestly seeing all of their beautiful faces felt like such a gift! I love each of them so much. It can be hard to find time for friends when you are an adult right? Life is so busy with kids and work and all of the things that pull us in a million directions, but at the end of the day good friendships enrich our lives so much. Plus friends just make life FUN. I’m incredibly grateful for these girls and for all of you. My beautiful on-line friends. :)
I’m already loving a few new products my friends gave me so excited to share those soon!
My original pizza b-day spot went out of business so we had to re-group and find a new one. There was so much pizza/salad leftover and they sent it all home with me (we have been eating pizza all week.. ha). I was so happy to have my pizza container! I fit a HUGE box of pizza inside. Total space saver.
Ad has been home for spring break all week and that also made my birthday such a treat this year! Heading out to celebrate together.
The absolute best when I can get my whole family together. It made me excited for this summer when my girls will both be home more! And when it’s not raining. ;)
Last weekend we threw a wedding shower for a close friend’s daughter and everything turned out so pretty! Sharing some pics in case you want to use these ideas for a shower or other party or event this year. I found this pretty welcome sign on Etsy that I downloaded and personalized and then I had it made into a poster at a local print place. Her colors are blue and white so it was perfect! We set it by the front door with a picture of the cute couple.
Dessert table!
Isn’t this shell cake adorable!?
These buffet dishes were perfect to hold the food and keep everything warm!
We had a lot of the food catered but a friend of mine made the salad and it was delicious.
We lucked out with beautiful weather so we set the tables up outside in my friend’s backyard.
We used my favorite for all of the flowers.. they make it so easy to put together pretty arrangements!
We also added these cute advice & wishes cards people could fill in on the table. My marriage advice was to always put each other first and to ignore the advice that says “never go to bed mad.” When it’s late and your feeling annoyed or frustrated with each other my advice is to go to bed and talk about it in the morning. It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep will do for perspective. ;)
ALL the drinks!
We had this table set up with party favors for people when they left.
I got the thank you for coming sign on Etsy too and ordered a gold frame for it.
Cutest favors.. both last names start with M!

The bride to be with her mom and the party planning crew! So happy for her. I have watched her grow up and can’t help getting emotional at events like these! We were all just pushing our kids in strollers yesterday. Such a beautiful day. We are throwing another wedding shower in a few weeks at my house so no rest for the planning crew. ;)
Enjoy your weekend and I’ll be back soon with all things spring!
