February Festivities

February 22, 2025

The festivities began on the 1st day of the month.

Mama’s birthday was January 31st, and she had birthday adventures to attend, so

We decided to celebrate on Saturday, February 1st

We corroborated on our “don’t tell Mema“ group text and came up with a 70’s theme.  Being that this is her 79th year, it seemed fitting.  There was plenty of food that reflected the 1970’s like Hamburger Helper and that glorious ginger ale/pineapple juice punch with lime sherbet.  There was a decade of 70’s music playlist to dance to.

Almost everyone dressed up

including Mama, thanks to an outfit that Gina put together for her.

If you follow her on Facebook, you probably saw the video of her grand entrance.

We had a great time!

One week and a day later, it was

Super Bowl Sunday

Several years ago, LB and I started a Super Bowl Sunday tradition.  We have a small gathering with the friends I refer to as

“Party People”.  Everyone brings game day appetizers, and we hang out together, eating and talking very loudly until the game ends.  We will typically watch some of the game, but it’s easy to get distracted with the noise.

Then, of course, there is

Valentine’s Day

  Our little Rory was born on Valentine’s Day and is celebrating her 7th birthday this year.

Glammy gets to make the cake.  The requested cake was “A chocolate Stitch cake”. 

After we deliver the cake and birthday gifts to the little one, and we take a few photos in front of the shower of hearts, LB and I will be going out for yet another celebration.

LB made reservations last year for February 14th at the Alhambra.

 

We almost always have a great time when we go to the Alhambra.  Sometimes the show isn’t all that great, but this time it was…

and the free champagne was a nice touch… and made for a great picture!

There you have my February Festivities… and we still have another week left to add to the fun!

Friday Favorites

February 21, 2025

Friday Favorites have been Few and Far between (don’t you just love alliteration?).  With that, I’m here to share a few recent faves…

Favorite # ONE

CAKES

I’ve been busy making cakes in 2025.

Mama’s Birthday Cake,

Mississippi Mud Cake requested by my girls,

German Chocolate cake for LB’s birthday,

Rory’s Chocolate Stitch cake.

Speaking of Rory…

Favorite # TWO

Rory!

Happy Birthday to my favorite little 7 year old!

You’ve come a long way baby!

Favorite # THREE

SHOES

Monday was a delightful day off work, so LB and I went shopping for a pair of shoes I had been eyeing.  Sadly, they were not available at my local Target, but happily, I found these and liked them even more

Favorite # FOUR

EGGS

When you can’t find organic eggs, they quickly become a favorite!  This carton from Vital Farms was purchased from a store that we never visit… Publix in Avondale.  $11.  SMH.

Favorite # FIVE

Only 20 more workdays until shutdown!

Along with a photo of my team celebrating Christmas, I mentioned in this post that “it may be the last one”.  I didn’t elaborate, but I wasn’t talking about Christmas and I wasn’t talking about “this post” being the last one.  I’ll now share that we were called into a MS TEAMS meeting on December 13th to hear the announcement that our company has chosen to close our office.  We have all been impacted by a surplus.  Once the date of separation takes place, I’m sure I’ll have plenty to share about what we as a group have endured 😇

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
