Hi all! I know most of you are off enjoying your day off! I know I will be! I have been up to lots of fun stuff this weekend!
Saturday morning, I got my bum up early to pick up my Bountiful Basket co op!
I got some seriously delicious produce.
- Lettuce
- Corn
- Peppers
- Pears
- Avocados
- Grapefruit
- Tomatoes
- Grapes
We have already started making our way through it. The grapes were the first. Crisp and juicy!
The highlight of the weekend for me was celebrating swanky boyfriend’s birthday.
My parents had us over for dinner, cake, and ice cream.
The boy requested Italian so chicken parm, eggplant parm, raviolis, and garlic bread it was!
I tried a little bit of everything. Eggplant parm (my fav!), raviolis, garlic bread, and salad. YUM!
Then it was time for cake and presents!! 28 candles in total!!
I was the cake decorator! I don’t see me going on Cupcake Wars or any other baking/decorating show anytime soon. 
My mom made a strawberry cake (the boy’s favorite) with a boston cream filling.
My mom bought this Wedding cake flavor
ice cream created by Duff from Ace of Cakes. It’s good!
I couldn’t wait for swanky boyfriend to see my gift. I bought him a bike!! He had mentioned he wanted one a while back and was completely surprised that I bought one for him!
Although this bike is designed for a 6 foot tall male, everyone thought I should hop on…wedges and all.
After a bit of a struggle…
I was ready to ride!
Since I have a bike, we are looking forward to going on rides together. He said it was the best birthday he has ever had.
Sunday, I went to a friend’s bbq. I am telling you, she is quite the hostess! Look at this spread!
I nibbled on a few things while catching up with friends.
After the party, the boy and I met up with friends to watch amateur MMA fights for Tony’s birthday.
It was a fun filled weekend that isn’t over yet! I am meeting a friend for coffee in a bit to catch up.
Hope you are enjoying your labor day!
How was your labor day weekend?

Happy Birthday to Swanky Boyfriend! I think that your cake is pretty impressive! The letters are legible, and that’s a feat in itself!
It looks like you all enjoyed a fun (and delicious–love that eggplant parm!) celebration together! I’m totally intrigued by that ice cream–what flavor is wedding cake flavor? White cake?

Hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend! <3
Nicely done! I just got a new bike for myself and love it! I was in your neck of the woods for the long weekend. We had fun at the pool at Mandalay Bay on Saturday, then did the roller coaster at New York New York later that day. Sunday we did a little shopping, and I even got something for myself
. Have a wonderful week!
I am so glad you had a nice time! The Mandalay Bay pool is one of my favorites! How can you pass up a lazy river!?!
