- I turned 27 on April 5th! I got to celebrate Easter and my birthday with my parents, husband, and little brother. One of my favorite gifts that I received had to be this bookish mug that my husband gave me.

- My husband turned 30 on April 17th so I gave him 30 gifts! I had a lot of fun with this. I numbered each gift and then he randomly selected a number and that was the order in which he opened all of his gifts. I got him serious gifts, fun gifts, and yummy gifts.

- I was actually in a wedding in Florida the weekend of the 17th so my husband and I took a mini vacation. The wedding was beautiful, my matron of honor speech was a hit, and we had a lot of fun hanging out with friends. I also got to pet a penguin!!! (Picture to come.) My husband and I also went to Clearwater Beach the day after the wedding with two of our close friends. It was beautiful and a lot of fun.

Awwww!!! I missed your birthday! Happy belated Birthday! It's so cute that you were born on the same month as your husband. What a great gift idea. And you were in Florida! You weren't near me though. I'm more down south. Sounds like the wedding went off wonderfully. I'm happy that your book and personal life were wonderful this past month.
ReplyDeleteI want that baby Groot magnet for myself! I'm going to have to go on a hunt for it :D
P.S. Can't wait for you to read Miss Mayhem and Red Rising.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I had a very nice April. I hope May is just as good... but maybe a little less busy.
DeleteYou can find these awesome magnets at THIS ETSY SHOP! I want so many more! :D
Happy birthday! That is a cute idea for your husband's birthday. I would try it except getting 56 presents is a bit intimidating. : )
ReplyDelete56 is a lot but it was also fun picking them all out. ;)
DeleteI love your Baby Groot magnet bookmark. It's so cute! Happy belated birthday to you and your husband! :D My birthday was this month too, but on the 19th. April birthdays are the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenni! I hope you had a wonderful birthday as well. April birthdays are definitely the BEST. ;)
DeleteHappy belated birthday! Love that mug and love that gift idea that you did for your husband's birthday! Very very cute. I also have Red Rising on my TBR list. Need to get to that one. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Magen! I don't know why I keep putting of reading Red Rising. I really do want to read it.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday :) I love the idea for the birthday gifts for your husband! This year for Christmas I knew my husband was buying me one big gift so to spread his out I did 25 days of Christmas with some serious gifts and some just fun candies etc! We really enjoyed it. Love the new bookish mug!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I had so much fun doing the birthday gifts. I LOVE what you did for Christmas. Great minds think alike. ;)
DeleteYour Baby Groot is adorable and so is that coffee mug. Happy Belated Birthday! I love the cover of Seriously Wicked.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteOMG KAY HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY I feel like the worst bestie ever (I am putting your birthday in my phone so this doesn't happen next year!) It sounds like you had an AWESOME month! I love the 30 presents idea and I NEED A GROOT BOOKMARK and that mug. :D I hope May is just as amazing for you and your husband!! <3
ReplyDeleteI didn't really announce my birthday since I was busy around that time and it was on Easter this year so I would say that you are not a bad bestie. :D
DeleteThe Groot bookmark is so freaking cute! I have been showing him and my new mug off at work.
1. Happy Birthday!!! :)
ReplyDelete2. What a cute idea for your husband's birthday!
3. I LOVE YOUR BABY GROOT BOOKMARK!!!!!
