I had the most wonderful birthday. I spent it with my family and then I came home, turned on my computer and saw this from my Mishi. It warmed my heart, made me smile and brought tears to my eyes. She is a blessing and a gift to me.

I’m thrilled to join the photograph sharing meme hosted by my darling friend, Lotus.  Go check her out at Sarcastic Mom and every Sunday check out all the amazing people who link up their inspiring, funny, beautiful and breathtaking photos in the Weekly Winners Meme.

    Looks like a nice birthday! I have never seen a real sea horse before – how cool!

    I don’t think I’ve posted a recipe (on my cooking blog) in weeks. That’s because I haven’t been cooking-yikes! Better get on that.

    I love that he thought about the heart!! You deserve a Mr.Wonderful like that :)

    You, my dear, are well loved. By your sisterhood, by your family, by everyone you touch!

  7. I am endlessly jealous that you found a seahorse. We don’t exactly find seahorses on the MS Gulf Coast. Crabs? Shrimp? We have. Fairytale creatures like seahorses? Not so much.

    Happy belated birthday, babe. Mimosas make everything nice, don’t they?

    • Rachel says:

      In all the years that we’ve been going to the beach we’ve never found one either. I’m choosing to see it as a sign of the amazing year that is to come ;-)
      Thank you for the birthday wishes, my sweet friend. xoxo

    I’m so glad you had such a lovely birthday. The family is amazing. And the seahorse! WOW! That’s so cool.

    XOXOXOXOX

      luff you. The sea horse kind of gave it that magical quality ;-) and the kids were priceless, and then there’s Nathan… he is more than I could have ever asked for ;)

  9. So glad to see that you had a great birthday. That is some hubs you’ve got there – Mimosas on the beach in a sandy heart! *dayam*

  10. From the heart in the sand to the seahorse, your day looked more than amazing.

    • Rachel says:

      thanks! My husband and I were in shock! We couldn’t get over the fact that she found an ACTUAL seahorse!!! Lent a really neat magical air to the day ;-)

  12. Erin G says:

    That seahorse is kind of amazing. How cool! You should frame it in a shadow box for her room.

    Mmmmm mimosas on the beach. I think you’re torturing me on purpose because you know I’m knocked up. [sigh]

  18. So glad you had such a beautiful birthday, Rachel! And I cannot believe you guys found a seahorse! Wow!! My son would positively wet himself in excitement if we found one. So cool.

    • Rachel says:

      Thanks, Amy! It was a fantastic birthday and I still can’t believe that we found a sea horse! My kids were over the moon and my daughter was upset that I wouldn’t let her keep it ;-)

  19. Krystyn says:

    What a great birthday celebration! They spoiled you, didn’t they? Champagne, beach, kiddos, and a seahorse. Awesome.

    Wow, I just had to comment about the sea horse! That is so cool. It seems all we ever do is take pictures of our kids holding the various bugs and creatures they find, but we’ve never discovered one of those cute little things. Happy birthday!

    • Rachel says:

      Thanks!!! Yeah, it’s bit nicer to have a pic of that than of the sea lice or the sea weed ;-) We may never find one again so, it’s cool to have that picture for the kids. Thanks for stopping in!
