Hello beautiful day..

Today has been such a lovely day. Today my husband celebrated another year of becoming younger, of course! ;) No but really we celebrated his birthday, and boy what a lovely day it turned out to be.
I was so thrilled to see that the gift  I ordered from shutterfly had arrived. I had a customized book made for him. It was a gift from both my daughter and I.  He absolutely loved it!

 
 
We also enjoyed a nice lunch at Bj's brewhouse.  Once we arrived back home we enjoyed some play time with our daughter.  We played with some blocks, and did some butterfly catching. :)
 
 
 
Later on in the day I baked a delicious strawberry cake..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It was yummy, I topped it with a strawberry whipped topping I put together.
Also with some fresh strawberries, and drizzled chocolate. It was a hit! :)
I'm really enjoying my husband's leave time right now, so I haven't been doing a lot of crafting. Just enjoying this time spent with my loves. It's been wonderful.

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #99! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. This week Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful comments on my daughter's behalf. She's doing well and healing wonderfully after having her wisdom teeth removed. We experienced a few rainy days, and I managed to do some weeding in my gardens. How was your week? I wanted to share this picture of one of the squirrels that visits our porch. These snapshots show the squirrel taking a break in the morning, lying on the railing. I guess the squirrel was thinking about where to hide those peanuts next.   Congratulations to our featured bloggers Jennifer at Tea With Jennifer shared a post reflecting on friendship and reminding us of the greatest friendship we can ever have. Visit her blog as she explores friendships, especially one that will never fail you.   Two Chicks and ...

Hi there, I hope everything is going well for you. Today, I want to share with you a simple upcycling holiday craft idea.

You can easily put this project together in less than 15 minutes, and it looks absolutely beautiful once it's displayed. So, if you're ready, let's start creating!
