Yipes another weekend in the books! This past weekend was seriously so beautiful and the perfect Spring-like weather, luckily the warmth seems to be sticking around for good now!!
On Friday my sister and I took my mom out to dinner for her birthday at our favorite Mexican place! I was so starved that I chowed down my food in 10 minutes!!
Looking at this pic, I'm craving these enchiladas and the rice again!!!
I gave my momma her pretty birthday tulips and she loved them. Unfortunately they started drooping, but I tried a trick Katie had blogged about, by adding a penny that's older than 1981 and it'll straighten those tulips right up. To my surprise, the trick worked like a charm and there hasn't been any dropping since!
I was also pleased to see that I got chosen for the next #VoxBox, it's been a hot minute since I've gotten one so I'm excited to see what cool products I'll get!
On Saturday (my mom's actual birthday), we woke up and ate a yummy breakfast before cleaning up and purging a bunch of my shoes that I no longer wear. My sister and I gave my mom her birthday gift that we had gotten and she absolutely loved it!
We got her each of our birthstones (the ruby doubles as my sister & dad's birthstones).
That evening I was my sister and cousin's personal Uber driver to and from the Justin Beiber concert. Going there was a breeze, but when it came time to pick them up after the concert it was such a hot mess and I was in a rage the entire time! I literally didn't move in the traffic for 30 minutes...never again!
On Sunday, I woke up late which was much needed! After finally dragging my butt out of bed and eating something, my mom and I set out to start some gardening. It was such an incredibly sunny day out and I was definitely sweating being out there planting marigolds and roses. I just pray that my peonies bloom this year!!! I managed to snap a selfie when we went for a mulch run.
(I was parked, don't worry)
This week is shaping up to be a busy one, we have our decorator meeting later this week and I'm excited to finally pick out all the nitty gritty details!
Linking up with Biana for Weekending!
I got an email about the same voxbox, I'm interested to see what's in it! I definitely need to try that tulip trip - how great that it worked. Now I'm totally craving enchiladas ;) Have a great week!

Wow, wonder what it is about a penny that helps flowers perk up? That's so neat!
ReplyDeleteI'm craving rice and enchilada's so you aren't alone lol! You're too nice to drop and pick them up from the concert - I would have done the drop off...but traffic is not my friend!! Hope you have a great start to your week! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThat Mexican meal looks amazing. I will take a plate of that now! You are such a good sister driving to the concert - not sure if I would be that nice. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and yummy way to celebrate your mom! I'm a fiend for enchiladas!!!
ReplyDeletethat penny trick blows my mind. i will have to try that next time! justin bieber was here the other day (or week?) and traffic was legit insane and i was nowhere near the concert. infuriating!
ReplyDeleteI love that you spoiled your mom this weekend for her birthday, and I'm sure that she loved it too! You're a really good cousin and sister to drop them off and pick them back up from the Justin Bieber concert! I can't even begin to imagine the crazy traffic!
ReplyDeleteLove the necklace you got your mom! That's such a good idea for a mother's day present too.
ReplyDeleteYay for getting the next vox box! Always such a good mail day when that arrives!

You are so sweet for driving your sister and cousin to the Beiber concert-I would have gone crazy in all that traffic! Yay for a new vox box! That Mexican food looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for tulips so that's thoughtful. And the penny trick definitely works because the metal provides the micronutrients it can't get elsewhere.

Happy Birthday to your beautiful momma! And yay for being selected for the next vox box, congrats! I need to try that penny trick, I always get so sad when my tulips start drooping so soon. Cheers to a fabulous week gurlie <3
ReplyDeleteMy mom owned a flower shop for a over a decade and I had never heard of the penny trick! I am totally going to tell her about it! Happy birthday to you mom!
