My 28th birthday was one week ago (that's why I threw the #tbt in the title), so today I will share 28 things I have been given recently and am loving!
Because my birthday was on a Thursday, Parker and I didn't do that much celebrating that day. It was still a fabulous day because I got to hear from my friends and family, open up cards from loved ones and a birthday box from my family, and Parker got me an adorable cake with bright pink flowers! Plus I chose to eat dinner at Jason's Deli ($5 off for my birthday month and free ice cream woohooo!). Parker kept trying to convince me to go somewhere more festive, but I knew we would be festive enough on Saturday, and I actually LOVE Jason's Deli.
So, we enjoyed a casual actual birthday and then before the crawfish festival on Saturday, we went to do my birthday shopping at The Shops of Saddle Creek in Germantown. Y'all, cutest, most amazing place. We had the best weather for a day of shopping at an outdoor shopping center. Of course I had done my research and narrowed my shopping list down as much as possible. This shopping trip was my birthday present from Parker, and I didn't want to overwhelm him with too many stops, so I stuck to 3 of my favorite places and tried to go as fast as possible. My three stops did not disappoint.
You will find lots of pictures and links below that will take you to my birthday scores! One of the best parts about shopping sprees is pulling out all of your new treats when you get home and discussing them with your best girls! Of course I sent pictures to my mom, sister, mother in law, sister in law, and some friends so we could talk about the new things I got. Do you do this? Have you gotten anything lately that you are loving? Anything similar to my new things? I want to hear!
