Happy Birthday Love!

Wishing my Husband the best birthday!

He is the sweetest, best partner, best friend, and best Daddy to be! So lucky to have him!

Kisses,

My Sister Stacy's Birthday

Happy 31st Stacer!

(You're so old now! (Side note: we are now the same age))

Hope you had a day with as much sparkle as you bring to the world!

Also, I think it's was only appropriate that my drive over to celebrate had so many rainbows along the way!

So lovely!

I love the reflections in the glass on these shots too.

And a flip gram action shot for good measure.

Happy Birthday!

Kisses,

K

Bits of my Summer...

So... I totally dropped off the face of the internets this summer... Between being sick regularly (ugh...) and super busy I didn't seem to have enough time to live online and offline so I chose off. :) In the spirit of sharing though I'm making a re-newed effort to get back to this space.

This Fall finds me starting new classes and endeavors and busier than ever but that also means I have tons to share! So, I'm starting with the cool stuff from this summer and then I'll work my way forward.

Here are some random bits:

We watched Fourth of July Fireworks via a pontoon boat on Bay Lake over at Disney World.

It was pretty epic in my opinion!

We got silly with our sweet crazy pup!

We watched some amazing sunsets.

I celebrated my birthday in style, thanks to my spectacular Husband and lovely family! (Here's to 31!)

Had more Abigail the Westie time!

Enjoyed Florida wildlife despite the heat.

Which included the loveliest family of cranes! (They're under the tree in the distance, I didn't want Abigail to scare them off.)

Enjoyed all the beautiful nature here.

Saw some magical moons.

And were continuously blown away by the colors of Florida's sunsets.

Stunning!

More to come soon!

What did you do this summer?

Kisses

My Baba's Birthday

My Baba turned 79 earlier this month.

It's been a rough past few years for her and we're all so happy to have her living near us now we just had to celebrate!

My Aunt Karen (she's the original KJ) out in Calofornia posted this on her Instagram for me to share with my Baba.

And my sister and I made these cupcakes to celebrate over at my parents' house.

They were Strawberry Lemonade with a passion fruit strawberry center.

Baba loved them!

My mom lit the all the candles...

 

And everyone sang.

 

Then the other two recent birthday boys joined in to help her blow all those candles out!

It was a good night!

Kisses,

K

Happy Birthday Littlest Brother!

Today is the baby of the family's 25th birthday!

I remember taking big sister classes to learn how to care for a new baby.

I remember sitting in the hospital waiting room with my Baba and other siblings watching TGIF* while he was being born.

And I remember meeting him and falling in love, changing diapers, singing silly songs, helping with homework, driving him and his friends around, and doing cool big sister things like taking him to concerts.

Now's he's married and on his way in life. And 25! Crazy...

Wow. Time really flys by! It's hard to believe that my baby brother is a quarter if a century!

You've come so far and still have so much to look forward to, hope your birthday is fantastical!

Kisses,

KJ

*Do you remember TGIF? It was a line up of family friendly tv shows every Friday night, like Family Matters. (You know, that show that had Urkel.) It was awesome. TV should bring it back!

Happy Birthday Baba!

Today is my Baba's 79th birthday! (Baba is a Polish nickname for Grandmother.) and I'm so excited that we get to celebrate with her!

She's fabulously sassy, fun, and incredibly loving! And she loves sequins or a good bit of sparkle... Can't go wrong there!

Hope your birthday is as fabulous as you, Baba! We love you so!!!

Kisses,

KJ

Sun(DIY) Happy Birthday!

Today I'd like to wish my dear sister Stacy the Happiest of Birthdays! She's the bomb and being such she deserves more than just a store bought card. So I made one, with lots of love! (I hid private info with some tape)

I used cute washi tape to attach two pieces of pretty paper from Impress together and a white gel milk pen to write. Added a feature square (I made the fancy corners with a Martha Stewart Punch), then hole punched two holes through it with a screw punch, threaded some twine, and tied on a sparkly candle!

For the inside, I added another feature square made of pink polka dot paper and wrote well wishes around it with the same pen. (You can see a smidgen of twine on the top part and if you look closely at the "houndstooth" check you'll notice it contains tiny little repeating hearts because... I love my sis!)

On the back I made my own little "Hallmark" style trademark.

And tucked it all into a little blue envelope I labeled with Birthday greetings.

So....

Happy Birthday Stacy!!! I hope you like it! I love you so much and wish I could be there! Hope you have a most fabulous day! Mwah!

Kisses,

K
