December is a big month for birthdays around our house. My mom’s is the 7th, both dogs are the 16th, then mine is the 17th. Throw in a trip to NYC and mandatory OT at work and it makes for a busy month even before the holidays are added in.


Growing up mom’s birthday was always the day we put up our Christmas tree. During college one year I convinced my mom to not up the full tree and just put up lights in the shape of a tree. We couldn’t stop laughing at it.
My birthday was the big 3-0 this year. It was low key as I like my birthdays, especially since I am so close to the holidays. Dinner and drinks with the rents and friends, some shopping with the hubby, and thrifting with my sewing girls.
We met for breakfast at a hole in the wall spot in Indy. The server figured out it was my birthday and brought over the staff to sing to me. Gospel style, amazing, then gave me a piece of chocolate cake. Here are some of the finds:



Thanks everyone for all of the birthday well wishes. I had a great day.
