Happy 5th Birthday Dominic!

Lego boyToday is the 5th birthday of our fantastically awesome son, Dominic.  We have a small celebration at home planned with immediate family and a Spongebob Squarepants cake.  This weekend, we’re planning a day at Legoland with his cousin, Mei-Lin, weather permitting.  The contingency plan is a day at the mall with lunch at John’s Incredible Pizza Company followed by “The Lego Movie” (which will be the second time for everyone). As you can tell, Lego is definitely the theme, and Dominic just can’t get enough.  You can follow our adventures on Instagram to see where the weekend takes us.

Happy Birthday Dominic, we love you very much!

I spent my birthday a bit differently than usual.  It started off with a call from my husband, who was out of town with family in Las Vegas.  Then it continued with a birthday potluck and cake from my wonderful team at work, lots of Facebook birthday wishes, presents from my sister and niece, and ended with the Poshmark party at The W Hotel, where I met so many wonderful people (lots of San Diego Style Bloggers were present).  Not only did I see Paulina of the blog Lil Bits of Chic and Pat and her daughter of the blog PatFlor, but I got to hang out with the beautiful Alessandra of My Fatshion Diary again (I last saw her at the Shimmer event).  I also met new blogger friends: Bianca of The In Between Girls, Laura of Laura Neuzeth, and Eunice of E Glam Style.  I also got to meet Heidi and Maria of Poshmark, and Poshmark user Jillian Alyson…who we’re trying to encourage to start her own blog!

I took the following day off so that I could pick up my husband from the airport and we spent a relaxing day with our son.  All in all, a very easy-going birthday.  The next few days will bring light festivities with my husband, son, mom and my sister’s family, ending with a dinner on Mother’s Day.  In the meantime, I thought I’d post a few pictures of my day, and I want to thank Poshmark for the invite to their lovely party.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Happy 4th Birthday Dominic!

It’s so hard to believe that another year has come and gone, and our precious boy is now four years old today.  With all the craziness right now in our lives and just starting my new job, we decided to keep it very low-key this year and celebrated this past weekend with my sister’s family at John’s Incredible Pizza Co. at Plaza Bonita Mall.   We started the afternoon with food and cake, and ended it with daddy winning 500 tickets!   Unfortunately, grandma couldn’t make it in from Las Vegas as was originally scheduled this weekend, so we’re going to celebrate again in March.  I’m pretty sure Dominic won’t mind!

Today is my niece’s birthday, and I wanted to wish her a wonderful day!  She is at school, but she will have a fantastic soiree this weekend.  I’ll be making her Adventure Time themed cake and will post pictures after the big event.  Happy Birthday to my little Shmei-mers!
