i guess this is really birthday week

When I got home from work the other night I found all this amazing stuff on the kitchen table complete with a beautiful hand-made birthday card from Kate and Christina. It's a whole bunch of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flours, a bag of dairy, soy and gluten-free chocolate chips and a little piece of paper telling me that the new Babycakes cookbook has been ordered for me. What a birthday it's been!

When I went to SF last month, Stephanie had given me an early b-day present of a powdered sugar shaker and patterned templates for when I bake cakes, like my recent favorite, from Karina's Kitchen.

I have the greatest, most thoughtful, most loving group of friends that a girl could ever hope for. Lots & TONS of Happy Friday love to all of them. (And I'm not even drunk!)

Now I'm off to finally write Stephanie that email I've been trying to send all week...

birthday weekend

I'm going out on a limb and saying this might have been the best birthday weekend I've ever had. I got a starfish and uninterrupted time with my most favorite person in the world as gifts.

more love

Saturday afternoon I got a text message from Christina that said "Check your back steps when you get home" and what I found there were three big bunches of tulips. I put them in our bedroom and this is what I get to look at when I wake in the morning and before I fall asleep at night.

I love my friends. I am truly grateful for them and appreciate that they think of me on my birthday.
Much love and gratitude.
