Today is my 29th birthday! Originally we had plans to wake up in Florida this morning since it is also my mom’s 60th birthday weekend. But, as you know, we ran into a little kink. Pretty bummed because this is the 4th trip to Florida we’ve had to unexpectedly cancel (and two surprise parties – my baby shower, and mom’s surprise birthday dinner) this year and my parents still haven’t met Thomas. Plus I wanted to see my seester before she pops very, very soon. Obviously, working on Thomas’ eyesight is a million times more important though!
Anyway, on to a hodge podge of birthday stuff and too many exclamation points…
Tonight we’re heading to dinner. Matt made reservations for us at a new restaurant that I’ve been wanting to try – Dogwood Southern Table & Bar.
Last week at Supper Club we celebrated September birthdays!
I also had more birthday gifts arrive from my family yesterday and I am embarrassingly excited about the wipes dispenser gift from my sister that I’d been talking about for far too long. I also got stocked up on my favorite fall candle – Flannel! Matt got me a pretty necklace with Caroline and Thomas’ initials. LOVE! He also wanted to get these Tory Burch riding boots for my birthday but when we went to try them on they came up too high and looked awkward on me. Lame. So I’m still on the hunt for a nice, plain, brown leather flat boot for the fall. Open to suggestions!
So today begins the one year countdown to my 30th!
*Dear Matt, time to start planning and saving for my surprise 30th Mexico trip!
But really, all I want is a HEALTHY and happy year. Truly.
Happy Birthday Christina! Enjoy it! This year has gone so fast. I remember your birthday last year holding your tiny little Caroline! I hope you have a great day and an even better year! And I hope you get to see your family soon!

Happy Birthday!!! I'm sorry that it's not exactly how you planned or hoped but, I hope it's still a great weekend of celebrations!!
Happy Birthday! Oh and guess what? Walmart now has BBW copy cat candles for $4.93 and flannel is one of them!! They aren't in the regular candle section, but with the glade air fresheners and their candles. Normally over with paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc. it's a tiny little section just stuck there with about 10 different scents. I got 1 so far and it smelled just as amazing burning! 🙂
Happy Birthday! If you're looking for the perfect tan/brown boot, try the Frye Melissa Button…they are worth every penny and the Cognac color is so classic…..goes with anything! I'm 5'2" and I love mine.
Happy Birthday! Wishing you health and happiness for your 29th and beyond!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Christina! Wishing you all the best in your 29th year!

happy birthday mama!!liz jo @ sundays with sophie
Christina, I've been eyeing these boots and thought maybe you'd want to take a look too since the other ones didn't work out: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-boots/solid-start-boot-in-brownMuch more affordable, same dark brown, similar shape/style, and they even tell you the shaft height. The shop also has a great return policy. Anyway, check them out! Maybe you can get another little treat with the saved money:)
Happy 29th birthday! I am the same age with similar kiddos age (2 and 5 months!) So fun to find someone else in the same boat–so many of my friends aren't even married yet. Have a wonderful birthday! And you are too funny with the wipes dispenser but as a fellow mama I swear by ours! I want another one (one for upstairs, one for downstairs) because it is the best! I am getting the TB boots for myself in a month (an early birthday present I bought during the Nordies sale). They are tall. Have a wonderful weekend! Sorry you all didn't get to go to Florida but thinking about you, your family and Thomas! So glad that he did well with his first surgery!Annie- All Things Big and Small
Happy 29th birthday! Here's to a happy and healthy year filled with wonderful new memories and lots of baby snuggles.
Happy, happy birthday! I love Dogwood! You need to get the warm pimiento cheese appetizer. Also, during the week from 5-6:30 they have $5 burgers and fries in the bar and the burgers are incredible. They aren't on the regular menu though. I swear by Frye boots for flat riding boots. I am obsessed with mine and tried on both them and a couple Tory Burch options last year for my birthday when I was choosing a new pair of boots. I have many friends who own various pairs of Frye boots as well and they say they last forever. Mine still look brand new and of course Nordstrom's customer service is fabulous if you wanted to take a pair and try them for a day or so at home.
Happy Belated Birthday, Christina! OMG…I was like "I had no idea she is that close to age to me!" but that's so awesome to know! I hope it was an excellent day!
