If you asked me I would tell you….
This week is my birthday week…..I’m so excited!
I turn, well old..er… on Friday, so be sure to stop by and wish me a Happy Birthday ok?
I also accept happy mail packages should you be so inclined. hahaha
I’m totally kidding.
Ok maybe only kind of kidding… I do love getting happy mail.

I would also tell you that I couldn’t be happier that Kyle is home after being gone all weekend.
His business trip sounded incredibly fun and he even had the chance to go skydiving! What?!
Can I tell you something so great? He had the chance to go but didn’t because he knows I want to go and he didn’t want to go without me.
Cue the “aaahhhhssss.”
This week Katelyn has her Spring Sing Recital at Preschool.
We’ve been practicing the same 8 songs, over and over and over again in the car for the last 2 months.
She’s so excited and is already asking what she’s going to wear. Smart girl!
After her recital we are headed out with the family for a birthday dinner. My birthday dinner. Woop!!
I love week long celebrations.

If I’m going to be honest I’m most looking forward to this weekend.
Friday after nap time, Katelyn and Brayden are off to spend the night at Papa and Gigi’s house.
Yup! That’s 24 glorious hours for me to soak in alone time with my husband. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to it.
I love my children, but I fully believe that making time for my marriage is so important.
The plan: dinner for my birthday on Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday morning, brunch and some shopping.
After all SNAP Conference is right around the corner.
Speaking of SNAP Conference, I seriously can’t wait to go!!!
This will be my first big, leave on a plane, go away by myself and stay with friends all while learning amazing things weekend and I couldn’t be more excited.
Have you been to a conference yet?
Any outfit advice as I head out to shop this weekend?
And while I’m soliciting you for advice, what should be on my don’t forget to pack list?

Birthday weeks are the best! And your outfit is so gorgeous. I’m packing for a trip to Fiji, so excited, lots of tees and shorts and a few working/meeting clothes and a fancy dress for a graduation party! All the best for the conference!

My birthday is Thursday! I love birthday weeks. They are just so much fun!
I’ve never been to a blog conference but think I’m going to make it one of my goals for next year. How do you decide which conference to go to? Snap, blissdom, alt summit? They all seem to have their strengths.
