Birthday Week

Image
Last week M and I celebrated our birthdays. The last few years we have managed to find away to getaway.. even if for only a night. Three years ago we went to a BnB in New Jersey  then we went to Vegas  and last year we spent a night in New York . This year there is no getaway but no worries because we have a whole week of celebrating to do. M started a little early with a major accomplishment.. on January 31st a whole week before he turned the big 4 oh he was at the New York Stock Exchange for the ringing of the opening bell. And he met Katrina Adams the CEO of USTA (tennis association) :D So proud of him! On Saturday, in the afternoon we headed to the city (New York) and walked around a bit.. thankfully it wasn't too cold. We went to Wagamama for an early dinner. It was our first time there and we will so definitely be going there again.. the food was so good. We wanted to try the matcha taro swirl soft serve at Besfren but their ice cream machine was brok

The Mother in Law by Sally Hepworth

I usually do mini book reviews at the end of the year.. but often I find myself wishing I could write more.. delve a little deeper into the book. So this year I am planning.. hoping on doing slightly more detailed book reviews. My first read of the year was The Mother in Law by Sally Hepworth. I won it via GoodReads. Synopsis - Someone once told me that you have two families in your life - the one you are born into and the one you choose. Yes, you may get to choose your partner, but you don't choose your mother-in-law. The cackling mercenaries of fate determine it all. From the moment Lucy met Diana, she was kept at arm's length. Diana is exquisitely polite, but Lucy knows, even after marrying Oliver, that they'll never have the closeness she'd been hoping for. But who could fault Diana? She was a pillar of the community, an advocate for social justice, the matriarch of a loving family. Lucy had wanted so much to please her new mother-in-law. That was ten yea

H's Lego Birthday Party

I have been trying to convince D to want a Lego party for ages.. he was never interested. So when H said he wanted a Lego party I was thrilled! And thankfully Lego parties are all over the internet which made it so easy to plan this party. First we started with the invitations. I used this printable . D has had birthday parties both at home and outdoor venues but him being a summer baby we have always been able to throw the parties in the backyard.

We set the basement up into two sections.. the playing area and the eating sitting area.  All of the tableware, balloons and banner I bought from the Dollar Tree. The tables and chairs we rented from a lo
