a happy birthday {47}

shopping with faith on my birthday lunch with faith on my birthday! saturday--birthday faith all four of the boys ben with dieter--cute! pizza

Yesterday was my birthday. I had such a fun and relaxed day. Faith and I had a very leisurely shopping trip and lunch in Thousand Oaks. We just love to do this. We always hit certain stores--Anthro, J. Crew--and love to shop the sale sections in the back (we also had my birthday discount at Antrho and Faith's student discount at J. Crew--woot woot!). And we always have lunch and cheesecake at the Cheesecake factory. We sat out on the patio, which felt festive. We also love to hit Sephora to try on perfumes and browse lipsticks (and I also had a free "birthday gift" from Sephora too). So that was super fun.

In the evening we threw together this dessert and while it was baking we played out in the yard. It's great having all the kids together. Then we went out for pizza and had cobbler and presents back home. Love!

Happy Birthday! What is your secret to looking so youthful?

Mary Beth said...

Thank you everyone for the good birthday wishes.

Jennifer--I don't have any special secrets--I am actually trying to be a lot better about engaging in healthy lifestyle practices. I'd say the best thing I have done is to go to Weight Watchers as needed to keep my weight from getting out of hand. I mean to add in more exercise too.
