My Birthday Wish List

I might say this every year, but I really feel like I blinked and this year flew by us! I can’t believe it is already time for my birthday again. Around this time last year, I remember Kevin and I deciding to start trying for baby #2 and  getting ready for summer. Its crazy how much changes in a year. This year has been filled with a lot of change, but a lot of joy as well. Kevin’s sister got married. We found out we were pregnant with Baby Kevin. I had a long road through pregnancy, but Brother eventually made his entrance. Brooke has been loving being a sister. I am becoming an Aunt again. & I became a full time blogger and SAHM. Plus… more changes coming soon that I can’t announce quite yet! What a year! I feel extremely blessed and I can’t wait for this coming year. You can shop a few of the items on my birthday list below. I honestly still haven’t decided on my Mother’s Day gift either. I’m bad, I am being so picky right now, I just can’t make up mind, so I have lots of shopping to do!

  • The CUTEST teacher gift idea you can make in minutes 💙🌼

COMMENT “shop” for the links. 📚

This “Thank You for Helping Me Grow” gift is sweet, simple, and so thoughtful.

Just grab a tumbler, fill it with their favorite goodies (think beauty items, hand sanitizer, and of course… chocolate 🍫), then finish it off with a bow + tag for that extra special touch.

Don’t forget to save this for end-of-year gifting + share with a mama who needs ideas!🤍

  • Costco run → FULL Dino Mom win 🛒🦖✨#ad

These are freezer staples. They’re quick, kid-approved, and so easy to turn into something fun—whether it’s a snack board, after-school bite, or little movie night moment 💛

Made with no antibiotics ever, 100% all natural, plus 9g protein and Omega-3s… so I feel just as good serving them as my kids do eating them 🙌🏻

Trust me—next Costco trip, just grab them.

  • Mother’s Day plans 💐 = DONE ✔️✨

If you’re looking for a way to truly spoil mom this year, this is your sign 💐 We spent the day at @TBahama and it was everything—from the prettiest gift finds to the most delicious lunch all in one place.

We found the cutest pieces (this bag + hat combo… obsessed 💗), cozy staples you’ll wear on repeat, plus jewelry, accessories, and even Maui Jim sunnies 👏🏻

Then we topped it off with lunch and let me just say… their Mother’s Day weekend menu is going to be unreal! Oat Banana Pancakes, Lobster & Crab Crepes, AND a “Call Your Mother” cocktail—yes please 🥂

Honestly, you could do the entire day right here and make mom feel so special (and grab a gift card while you’re at it 😉)

Save this idea for Mother’s Day💕
