40th partay!

October 15, 2018

Well, we definitely got fancy and threw a super fun party to celebrate FORTY! Woohoo! I had been planning this party in my head for over a year and it all went off even better than I could have hoped. The weather ended up being perfection that night and it all added up to a fantastic celebration! I started the day getting my hair did and, I must say, it was looking pretty good!

Then we got the house party ready! We’ve gotten so many projects done over the past several weeks and the house was basically as clean as it’s ever going to be with flowers all around. I’ll share house pics tomorrow!

We were ready for fun and the kids were ready for a fun sleepover at our new neighbor’s house – GJ and Daddo!

One of my besties, Lyndsay, even came in from Nashville for the party!

The party was catered by Shindigs and they were outstanding. The food was insane and the drinks were never empty. I also hired a magician to come do tricks all night for small groups. He was unbelievable!

It really was a special night and I felt so loved that so many people took time out of their lives (and got a babysitter!) to come and celebrate me. I don’t take that lightly and am so appreciative for all the great friends and family in my life.

2 more days

October 5, 2018

Well, only 2 more days until I’m over the hill. Yep, I turn the BIG 4-0 on Sunday! I guess there was a time when I thought 40 was old but now I’d say 40 is just right. I have good friends, a full and happy home, and these fun people that love me so much they tolerate my selfie requests…

Sunday Funday

September 24, 2018

As I mentioned Friday, Samantha is playing soccer. Both boys are playing fall baseball. All of their games are on Sunday. At three different locations. Often at overlapping times. Goodness gracious! Last Sunday these three were ready to play…

London wedding

September 13, 2018

On Saturday we got up and walked around enjoying the pretty weather.

We did al little shopping and stopped in Harvey Nichols and then went into Harrod’s. I had been in Harrod’s before but did not remember just how massive it was! We started at the top and worked our way down and around every single floor – that took all day! We ended up having lunch there and had some of the best pizza ever…

On the way home we walked through Hyde Park and saw the Christo installation, “The London Mastaba”. It was cool to see that considering I had been in NY during the installation of “The Gates”.
