Just last weekend, I celebrated my birthday🥳🎈🎈
Shout out to all born in April, the best month of the year. Sorry if your parents missed it by a few months or many. (no need for a rebuttal here hehe!)
I really love the wonderful weather and all the beautiful flowers that bless us with their beauty, in this month or time of year. There’s a special joy and newness that spring brings.
I’ll share with you how I spent my birthday.
Breakfast In Bed
I woke up feeling grateful to experience another birthday. I gave/give thanks to the Most High.
Huzzy , served me breakfast in bed and I got some big cuddles from our two boys. Breakfast was delicious and so appreciated. 💗💗
ReggaeJahm Link-Up
Later in the morning, there was a zoom link-up with some members of . It was my first time officially meeting and seeing some of the members. We had a lovely chat and some good laughs. It was so great making the connection with posts and the actual authors. I really enjoyed it.
Lunch at an Italian Restaurant
One thing I really wanted to do for my birthday, was spend a little time with just . A friend kept our kids so we could go on a lunch date and do just that.
We enjoyed some salad, pizza and lasagne.
For dessert, we enjoyed a small cake set with tea. There were two types of cakes. I remember one was fruity. We had them with a small scoop of matcha ice-cream.
After dining on the first floor, we realized they had a yellow school bus on the second floor. Had we known, we would have opted to dine there. It however seemed like all diners were seated on the first floor.
We wondered how they got the school bus in the restaurant. We saw no entrance big enough to accommodate it.
Anyway, we decided to take some photos by and inside the bus. We noticed there were chairs along the side. We figured that on regular days, they had a waiting line.
Mini-Farm Visit
After chilling for a while, we drove to one of our favorite little farms. They specialize in growing strawberries, figs and tomatoes.
We wanted to pick some strawberries but it started raining and it seemed they were only selling desserts.
Their desserts are delicious and are made with products from the farm itself. We chose a sherbet with blended, frozen, fresh and dried strawberries. It was “berry-licious”.
Zumba Workout and Family Party
We headed back home. We were so grateful our friend could have kept the kids. About one hour later, we joined an online Zumba workout. We were tired but enjoyed it.
One of our dear friends, Kazuko, made me a lovely fruit tart. It had strawberries and grapes.
After dinner, we had a little family party. I made a wish and the kids helped me blow the candles out.
Birthday Presents
I thank family and friends for their love and kindness. The gift of love is profound.
Some friends surprised me a few days before my birthday. Here are some of my gifts:
💗Origami slice of cake (made from paper). It’s creatively done and of course, I’m loving that berry.
💗Strawberry Plant Set
💗Tomato Plant Set
I’ll be planting these soon and look forward to the fruits.
💗A Pomegranate-designed Kind Bag
I found it good and interesting that the bag was made from recycled materials. I’d love to actually see the process. I took snaps of the tags that came with it.
💗A mini-umbrella
It’s quite useful.
💗A Basket of Fruits
I had a great birthday. Thanks for reading this far. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a fruitful week. 😃
