Happy Birthday, Mom!

Hi there!  Remember me?  I'm sorry I've been absent for nearly a week.  Yet once again, I've come down with a cold.  I'm having dizzy spells as I sit here behind the screen, but I wanted to share with you all what I've been doing this past week. 

I was busy planning a birthday soiree for my mom.  I'm sure she'll be thankful that I don't disclose her real age, but she's is fabulous at any age, and I love her.  About a hundred of family and close friends came to celebrate with her.  I haven't seen my mom this excited in a long time.  It was a day all  about her and she totally deserved it.  Happy Birthday, Mom!  Here's to many more years of fabulousness.  I love you.

And this is what I wore.  Probably not the most flattering of dresses (makes me look wider, don't you think?), but I loved the print and it definitely help me beat the heat that night.  It's been so stinkin' hot.  I'm over summer, and it's hasn't even officially begun.

Happy Mother's Day Mom.  I love you and appreciate you.  Not only just today, but everyday of the year.  Thanks for everything  you've taught me and all the sacrifices you've made.  I'll be forever grateful to you.  Thank you for being the best mom!

My mom had to work today, so we'll be celebrating with her tonight when she gets home.  This morning we did enjoy a scrumptious Mother's Day champagne brunch at Kaanapali Beach Hotel with Eli's mom and siblings.  Leah and I sure did get our money's worth and filled up on lots of champagne.  I felt a little guilty drinking so much bubbly at 8am in the morning, but hey, it's always noon somewhere, right?  Bottoms up. :) Oh yeah, so classy!

Feeling GOOD :) walking back to the car...

If you get a chance, stop by Carolina's blog, Closet Full of Nothing.  She's sporting something sweet, made by yours truly.  Carolina is a sweetheart and I'm so glad I "met" her last year... and of course hopefully our paths will cross one day and we can actually meet! :)  

Happy Mommy's Day to all your mommies out there!

Love, S
