Celebrate

This Southern gal hates August.

It has nothing, nothing, nothing to redeem it

except

today,

because on this day, 15 years ago,

I became a mama.

Other than Jesus,

no single person has changed my life more than this kid.

She’s rocked my world.

I’ll keep her.

In honor of her,

we are eating Pioneer Woman breakfast burritos for lunch brunch (if you’re the birthday girl and sleep the morning away),

followed by Bonefish Grille for supper,

AND Mitford Cookbook Orange Marmalade Cake 

with homemade gelato for dessert.

I’m using my Weight Watchers points for the week month.

Oh, the things we endure for our children.

Happy Birthday, DD#1!

Be blessed,

Ginger
