birthday girl

Oh my, I got really spoilt today.

I received so many beautiful cards, messages and gifts from family and friends, I feel special.

Thank you all!

Isabelle was the cutest ever, gave me so many cuddles, made me a dub-a-dee (cup of tea) and she even showed me in the baby cook book what kind of birthday party food she would make me if she would have an hour (she is really busy nowdays you know).
We spent a mother-daughter afternoon together, went for our usual walk to our local cafe on the beach, and on the way there Izzie fell asleep in the pram, so I could read a magazine about sustainable and environmental friendly fashion while I was having a lemon scented scone with raspberry jam.

Dougal cooked my favorite for dinner (spaghetti al pomodoro e basilico), dressed like an adult and even washed the dishes. I got an orange and poppy-seed birthday cake with a candle on it and spicy ginger pieces coated in rich dark chocolate.

It was a perfect day, and even though the next one will be a big one (in numbers), I have decided to enjoy my last year as a thirty-something girl. x
