a happy bee-day

…so, on a rainy little monday evening, i celebrated my day of birth with my favorite people! maddalena helped my mom make me a single-monogrammed cookie cake with gold sprinkles, and then together they decorated for me in gold and white and pink. my siblings gave me cards that made me feel so loved. and then there were gifts! the loveliest gifts hand-chosen just for my brittany-ness. gifts that i sure don’t deserve but that i’m oooh so delighted with! sweet maddalena was just bursting at the seams containing the knowledge that she and daddy got me some amaaaazing winter boots. 🙂 she did so well keeping the secret!!

i am truthfully soo low key about my birthday. i enjoy it just the way it is, around the holidays and everything… and really, i just love being with my people!!! but i am truly not one to force celebrations surrounding my own self or highlight my own existence in a way that’s anything other than my personal enjoyment of documenting life here and there. haha. so, all the extra touches that make me feel known and loved are really just the best, you know!?

thank you so much to everyone who made me feel special!!!

and ps. is 30 still the new 20?? because i’m willing to go with that! 😉

[and bonus ps: i snagged my new fav wildfox prarie rose sweater for an absolute steal on thredup just in time to wear for my special day! if there’s one rule i stick with it’s wearing pink on my birthday. and i mean, seriously! thredup!! i think it’s one of my favorite hobbies at this point. i’m adding my referral link here in case you want to sign up and get us both $10!]
