Birthday Weekend Fun

June 1, 2015 | baby, blogging, family, holidays

Happy Monday! We had a GREAT weekend but it went by. so. fast. Karen and I had been planning on getting together at my parents house for a couple of months (we try to do it once or twice a year) and it was finally time. They had yet to meet Emma Kate and besides hanging out in Disney we hadn’t really seen them since my baby shower last July.

Bobby and I hung out with my mom and dad Friday and Friday evening they arrived and we just hung out and talked…well..the boys played video games of course.

Saturday Karen and I went shopping and got snowballs, of course. It’s tradition!

The weather was warm but not too bad so we were able to sit outside and hang out while my dad grilled and we had a great time. I had a surprise planned, since next weekend is Bobby’s birthday, I decided we would go ahead and celebrate early and decorate the dining room and have cake and ice cream. He was definitely surprised and it was delicious.

Sunday morning we indulged in another tradition, breakfast at the original Broken Egg Café.

Unfortunately, a little damper was put on things when I cut into my omelet and THERE WAS A BUG IN IT! Like, completely formed, legs and all. I freaked out and the waitress happened to be walking by and she freaked out, too. I was given a free meal but sadly I was no longer hungry.

We had a great time with our friends and I can’t wait to do it again!

I had to stop and get PJ’s coffee on the way out. Southern wedding cake flavor is back for summer and it’s my favorite. It’s probably a good thing we don’t have PJ’s by my house….

    What a fun weekend with Karen! But yikes about the Broken Egg Cafe! Last time I ate there they got my order all wrong and then argued with me about it. Hello! I know what I ordered! What they brought me was still good but I was dieting then and really wanted that lower calorie meal that I ordered.

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
