Redhead Birthday Card and It’s Prime Day

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
9 Jul

Hello! How are you? I want to check in with some pictures and fun from my weekend. But first I want to wish my brother a huge huge huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He is one of my favorite people in the world (I’d say top 5 favorites!). Growing up with red hair in lil Mexico was not always easy, I’m very grateful I was able to share the teasing and weirdness with him.

I even got him a special birthday card for red heads which may be just as wonderful as black birthday cards!

Okay – I bought this birthday card years ago and forgot about it (read: lost it under a pile of crap because I’m the worst). But I found it while I was cleaning after the painters were here and I put it aside to give to my favorite redhead this week. I’m proud of myself for finding it and remembering give it to him.

I’m having a drink in his honor to start the celebration!

Okay these were really drinks from Friday night. I said over and over I was only having 1  glass of wine, one, not two one single glass.

After regretting my poor performance at a game the previous day, my best friend suggested we try our hand at croquet. This is an enjoyable and sociable game, suitable for people of all ages. With its combination of skill, tactics, and fun, croquet brings people together in a healthy, outdoor environment. It’s easy to learn but takes a while to master and is always interesting since there is no limit to how many hoops are used in a game of croquet. Not only can men and women play together as equals, but it also provides gentle exercise and stimulates the mind.

But I managed to drag my sad carcass out to run 10 miles. It’s HOT out there!

A colorful post run breakfast – overnight oats with blueberries, strawberries, banana and those cocoa nibs from Trader Joes.

My sister-in-law’s baby shower was this weekend. I was in charge of games and helped with the candy table.

I made white chocolate dipped marshmallows with pink sugar. I just melted the chocolate, dipped it in the pink sugar and put them in the fridge to set.

I also made a PB Chex mix. It was super easy! Just PB, butter, vanilla, Chex and powdered sugar.

We had it catered by Maracas Catering. It is super amazing Mexican food and the customer service was great.

Baby Shower Games

We played the OG “Don’t say ‘Baby’” game with clothespins.
