My Mom's Birthday Celebration

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend. Today was my Mom's birthday, so in honor of her, we went to one of her favorite places to go when we were little, Apple Hill. We spent the day at a gorgeous winery and had a lovely lunch and I know my Mom would have loved it. 




We all had such a great time. She loved lavender and the whole patio was surrounded by lavender and pretty flowers. We even saw a hummingbird right when we got there! It was the perfect way to spend the day.




Then we went over to one of the kids favorite apple orchards at Apple Hill and had apple donuts and apple cider, which was delicious. They have this amazing section for kids and it's like a whole mini village. It's so adorable and the kids love it!


We always like to end her birthday by sending off flowers into the lake for her. The kids love doing it and they actually remembered it from last year, which I thought was really sweet. So this year, they picked pink roses and we put them in the water for my Mom. I hope this will be a tradition that they will look back on with fond memories.



So that's how we spent my Mom's birthday. It was a really lovely day and I'm so very lucky to have spent it with my most favorite people. Hopefully your Monday was awesome too! 

I also have a new video up on my channel, so be sure to head on over and see the super cute things I share in it!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Hi My Loves!!!

Today would have been my Mom's 54th birthday. As you know, or if you don't know, she passed away 12 years ago from breast cancer..... so it's been a long time since I have actually celebrated her birthday with her. But even though she is no longer here in person, we still celebrate it every year. After all, birthday's are the most special day in a person's life :)

So here is a little birthday blog to my Mommy! Happy Birthday Mom! I love you and miss you every day!

This is my Mom all dolled up to go out to a party :)


Her favorite flowers were Lily's and Lavender so if she were still here today, this is what I would be giving her a bouquet of.



We picked up this cake from Sam's Club yesterday and will be having it tonight with a cup of tea (decaf for me, don't you worry)... just what she would love. She wasn't really much of a chocolate cake and ice cream kind of person :) But she would love this!


So that's my special day today..... eating some lemon cake for my Mom's birthday :)

If it's your birthday today... then Happy Birthday to you too!!!!!

Happy Tuesday :)

Sam
