It’s my birthday on Sunday, so I’m kicking it off tonight in a big way! My friend had an extra ticket to see Elton John in Vegas and I’m about to head to the airport—sequin one-piece in hand! (Can’t believe I’ll be back one year later!)
Then, I’m looking forward to cake with the kiddos, and a birthday evening picnic date with my love—we’re going to a local DavisEats event.
Have a great weekend! In the meantime, some links of note…
