Birthday dinner for my beau: Creamy garlic herb mushroom spaghetti with herb chicken

Happy birthday Andrew!

Last night, I was dancing at my friends wedding and this morning, I’m serving pizza lunches to students at Shane’s school. Just sayin.
I do have to say that I really enjoyed seeing Shane during the lunch time and watching him interact with his classmates. When I sat next to him, he said; “Mom….Stop…Go….” At least I got a hug though.

Andrew and I are off to my friend’s wedding in Whitehouse Station, NJ.

It was like a Symrise reunion!

I missed these girls so much!!

Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

Oh how I miss hanging out with these two.

Thank you for letting us a part of your special day. What a beautiful day!

2. He loves to play fortnite and can do floss dance like no other.

Shane, it’s a privilege and gift to be your mom and I am so proud of you everyday. Happiest birthday to my son! I love you so much~~

My mom made us birthday breakfast : Seaweed soup with rice and some vegetable dishes

Tonight we celebrated his birthday with a bonfire, smores, and cakes in the backyard porch.

He wanted ramen for late night snack. His favorite food on earth that he’s not allowed to have…except for  special occasions such as tonight…;P

Chloe joined her school cross country team and today was her first meet. She ran 1.7 miles with 6th, 7th & 8th graders and came in 17th place out of approx. 45 runners. I think she came in 2nd amongst  6th graders. That is pretty good!

Today was Shane’s school curriculum night and we found this hung in his classroom.  He’s a funny dude. Lol.

Birthday breakfast:Salad with smoked salmon, avocado and poached eggs

I made her apple cider donut “cake”

Photobombed by Chloe… carrying her slime…

Finished the day with a movie night just the two of us. We enjoyed watching Simple Favor. Happy birthday Mom! Words can’t express how thankful I am that you’re my mom. Love you!

When I got the invite for a girls only house warming party at Julie’s, I couldn’t wait to see the house! She and her husband worked on custom building this house, I knew it was going to be good. Really good. What a gorgeous house.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon of delicious food and laughter! My cheeks were sore from laughing so much. Thank you Julie! 

We even took a “prom” picture.

A middle schooler and a 4th grader in the house!

Can’t forget a healthy breakfast.

We got up so early that she even had some reading time to calm her nerves.
