Well, it’s official. I just turned 30. Or, as my co-worker would say, I just celebrated the 1st anniversary of my turning 29. Sounds better right?
Every day I wish I had the ability to freeze time, right where it is. This has nothing to do with me getting older but has EVERYTHING to do with Hudson growing so fast. I want to soak up every second of this time with him. In reality turning 30 was much more enjoyable than turning 20. I’m so much more comfortable with who I am now. And I LOVE my life with my two boys. I only wish I still had that 20 year old’s booty….
My birthday weekend started off right with a trip to Ikea on Friday with my mom. We bought a ton. I’ll do a recap once I get a chance to actually unload everything. I want to live in Ikea.
Then Hudson and went to the farmer’s market on Saturday morning while daddy worked.
We came home and he took an amazing 2 hour nap! Which is totally a cause for celebration in our house. So we partied down and played with the water table for almost an hour. Love my busy boy.
On Sunday, my actual birthday, we started off the day right at our favorite breakfast place. I know, wild and crazy right?
Yum.
Hudson was too interested in the table behind us to smile at mommy. He loves going out to eat.
We came home and my husband spoiled me and got me the camera (and a new lens!) on my wish list!!!! It is amazing and I’m already in love! I can’t wait to learn how to use it!
The rest of the day was spent playing with Hudson and taking a nap. It was perfect.
Then my mom babysat Hudson while my husband and I went out for dinner. We basically ate all day….can’t complain about that!
When you can’t decide what dessert to order, why not order three? I went to bed dreaming of this yumminess.
My mom then surprised me with this MK watch. It’s huge. But I love it!
And my sweet in-laws got me the Kendra Scott earrings I’ve been wanting for forever. I can’t take them off!
So far 30 isn’t so bad!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes on instagram. You guys are the best!
Happy birthday! Looks like an amazing & fun weekend!

I think that sounds like an absolute perfect weekend!! Love all of the items you got off of your wish list!! I already told you but, Happy Happy Birthday!!!
Happy belated Birthday!
Can't wait to see more of what you picked up at Ikea! I need to get some baskets too for one of our expedit shelves.
All the food pictures have me dying for something indulgent!
I'm excited for you to start using your dSLR! I love mine! I've pinned a few tutorials etc on my "for photography" Pinterest board that have been really helpful. I was so confused by my camera for so long and only shot in automatic–which just wasn't doing it. The manual photos are SO much better!
Have a great Monday!!
Happy Happy 30th!! I'll be joining you at the end of the year. Looks like the perfect weekend. PS…we need to discuss plans for when I'm in MI…would LOVE to get lunch and meet Hudson!! xo

Sounds like such a great birthday– you know our family celebrates by eating yummy meals too! I couldn't agree more, love 30 much more than 20 and think so much of it has to do with Kyle and Em!
nothing wrong with turning 30 especially when you have a devoted husband, an adorably cute son and plenty of good eats all day long! i hope you had a great birthday and 30 is a wonderful year for you
Happy birthday! I love your outfit here- would you mind sharing where that navy blouse with the green hearts is from?? Looks fabulous with your new earrings!!
