I had the most wonderful birthday. I spent it with my family and then I came home, turned on my computer and saw this from my Mishi. It warmed my heart, made me smile and brought tears to my eyes. She is a blessing and a gift to me.

I’m thrilled to join the photograph sharing meme hosted by my darling friend, Lotus.  Go check her out at Sarcastic Mom and every Sunday check out all the amazing people who link up their inspiring, funny, beautiful and breathtaking photos in the Weekly Winners Meme.

  2. I don’t think I’ve posted a recipe (on my cooking blog) in weeks. That’s because I haven’t been cooking-yikes! Better get on that.

    I love that he thought about the heart!! You deserve a Mr.Wonderful like that 🙂

  7. I am endlessly jealous that you found a seahorse. We don’t exactly find seahorses on the MS Gulf Coast. Crabs? Shrimp? We have. Fairytale creatures like seahorses? Not so much.

    Happy belated birthday, babe. Mimosas make everything nice, don’t they?

    1. In all the years that we’ve been going to the beach we’ve never found one either. I’m choosing to see it as a sign of the amazing year that is to come 😉
      Thank you for the birthday wishes, my sweet friend. xoxo

  18. So glad you had such a beautiful birthday, Rachel! And I cannot believe you guys found a seahorse! Wow!! My son would positively wet himself in excitement if we found one. So cool.

    1. Thanks, Amy! It was a fantastic birthday and I still can’t believe that we found a sea horse! My kids were over the moon and my daughter was upset that I wouldn’t let her keep it 😉

  25. Wow, I just had to comment about the sea horse! That is so cool. It seems all we ever do is take pictures of our kids holding the various bugs and creatures they find, but we’ve never discovered one of those cute little things. Happy birthday!

    1. Thanks!!! Yeah, it’s bit nicer to have a pic of that than of the sea lice or the sea weed 😉 We may never find one again so, it’s cool to have that picture for the kids. Thanks for stopping in!
