This March 20th marks my 32nd year on this little place we call Earth. So in honor of wanting all the things I thought I would provide my husband the internet with a wish list. Even though he is totally off the hook on gift for awhile ever since that amazing MacBook Pro entered my life! But then I remember that I gave him the gift of Presley...I kid. Kinda...
West Elm Baggu Weekender Bag - I have been coveting this bag for quite sometime ever since seeing my friend, Kerri, tote it around on overnights. I really wanted it to be my hospital bag but then I thought that was a crazy justification. But now it's on sale! See what I did there I even slapped my initial on it. Hint, hint...did I mention free shipping?
Nellorre Blouse - As a new mom it's hard to shop for myself these days. I mean stuff is way cuter when it's teeny tiny (I'm talking about you Baby Gap). I think this would be a great shirt for the office or anywhere but the office!
Beachcomber Low Rectangular Basket - another thing I have lusted after for awhile. Little P is quickly on her way to mobility (eek!) and while I am busy lassoing up every cord and vacuuming up every dog hair (one can dream) I would love this basket to store her toys in.
Wunder Under Crop Cotton *Roll Down - I have mad love for the full length version of these so the crop is a no brainer. How fun is this color (even if is screams fall not spring)? Size 8 thank you!
As awesome as it would be to unwrap any of these gifts let's be real. These days my birthday is about taking a day off of work, celebrating the first day of spring and hanging out with my favorite people. I recently had two spots on my face that were bothering me and to be honest I was worried they were some form of basal cell carcinoma. My dermatologist was too. So I went and got a skin biopsy (which sucks) and very happily they came back benign. It's a good reminder, in order to be your best you need to take care of yourself. I am glad I went and got it checked out (even though I will probably have two light scars on my face now) because peace of mind is priceless.
I am so grateful for my family and that we are all healthy. Life is most assuredly not perfect or even close too. Laundry piles up, dishes overflow and dust settles in places only it knows where. But laundry can always wait, dishes will eventually get done and dust is inevitable. It's all about how you choose to manage what is important.
Truthfully when life seems to be more pits than cherries I remember this we are all such a small part of this universe it seems silly to fret over the little stuff (heck even the big stuff!) So take a big breath, look around and embrace this crazy thing called life. After all...you only get one chance.
