An Oldie but a Goodie

My mom turned 50 this past weekend. She is truly a woman who is "50 and Fabulous!".

It was a low key affair - she asked for no big party, just a family dinner at the cabin. Done. And Done. But we still spoiled her. She does so much for us, that it was the least we could do. My mom is a pretty neat lady. I happen to like her an awful lot.

We thought we would set her up with a basket of things that she might be needing as she enters this next half of her life. Things such as a giant calculator for when her vision starts to fade, a pill sorter to keep all of her medications straight, a classic Starbucks mug for a classy lady (gift card included), A giant book of crosswords, A Gap gift certificate so that she keeps up with her style and a boa because every fabulous lady needs a boa!


She makes me laugh.

She is a popcorn lover.

She loves her coffee. A coffee themed cake was a no-brainer.

Mom loves her family and enjoys spending time together. We played games that made us laugh so hard we had tears rolling down our cheeks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

The rest of the weekend continued to be low key. The weather was finally desirable, so we took advantage of all of the outside goodness that we could.

My brother is incapable of making a normal face.

We enjoyed time around the fire and soaked up a breathtaking sky.

It was a perfect long weekend!
