Another birthday has passed by and a new year lies ahead of me. I’m not sure if it’s age and wisdom or the fact that I am a mom of two children now and I’ve learned to “Let it Go,” but this year my birthday was about relaxation. True relaxation. No grand plans of relaxing or fun plans for me or the family that involve car rides, over-packed diaper bags, or lines. I even decided to take a step back and grant my daughter’s wish of making my cake. That’s right, I took a backseat and let my husband and daughter make my cake!

Because you guys are awesome, you asked how I was going to spend my birthday and more importantly what I’d be eating. While I created the menu of my wishes, I played no part in preparing anything and it.was.GREAT! In the morning my daughter woke me up with cards and pictures and beautiful paper flowers that she and my mother had made last month and she was able to keep secret until now. Then, I was served breakfast in bed! We went to church to say good by to our reverend who was retiring and hit the candy shop afterwards. I enjoyed lazy afternoon on the hammock and then we hit the marina for some lobsters, steamers, fresh corn on the cob and a delicious frozen pudding cake! There were no pictures taken, I set that rule up right away. No food pictures! I do promise that I will be re-creating that cake and posting it the next opportunity I have because it was easy, fun to make, and delicious!

To make my birthday even more beautiful, The Bouqs.com sent me a gorgeous bouq of roses that my husband and daughter picked out. The bouq I received was the brightly colored and gorgeous Confetti. When The Bouqs first reached out to me I headed towards their website and did a little research. What were some of the things I liked? Well, what you see is what you get. There are no hidden fees. The price of the bouq includes the price of shipping. What I loved was that their flowers are sustainable, eco-friendly, and grown right on the side of a volcano! There is no wheeling or dealing here, the ordering process was very simple and the flowers I received were gorgeous. The bouqs they offer aren’t the run of the mill kind either. The arrangements are exactly what you want, but can never find unless you go directly to a florist. The flowers arrive just after being selected for your bouquet and get more beautiful as the days go on. These pictures were taken on day 5 and they continue to open up and look gorgeous. The Bouq team even gave me some tips after I tweeted my initial picture upon receiving them! I will admit that one stem was slightly bent upon receiving, but besides cutting them down a little shorter to match, there is no telling. Even that stem has bloomed and looks gorgeous!
