105| HIDDEN GEMS
It was my baby boy’s 11th Birthday on Tuesday and he had such a great day! I really try to keep his face offline and won’t be posting pictures of him here. He also asks that I don’t ever post him online, and I respect his privacy.
His dad and I took him to see the latest Captain America movie. After the movie we stopped into Sephora for him to pick out a cologne. He’s into them and let me tell you, he has expensive taste! We got home and he went upstairs to his room. I decorated his Desktop with balloons, some snacks, a Birthday card and a sweater. Minutes later, while I was cleaning up in the kitchen, he ran down to me with tears flowing down his face. I asked him why was he crying and he just hugged me even tighter. I asked if he was happy with his surprise and he nodded, I asked if he read the card and he nodded. He just said thank you. I think my mentioning his Yaya and how proud of him she is. How proud of him we all are, added to the emotions. “Yaya” that’s what he’d call my mami, she tried and tried for him to call her “mamá” but he’d chosen Yaya for her. And Mama was reserved for her mom, my grandmother. Y’all know me, this makes me wonder who they were for each other in a past life. Overall he had a great birthday.
The night before we visited my father. My oldest brother was here from NY and we sang happy birthday to A*. He got donuts and I stacked them up into a pyramid and put some candles on the top donut lol. My boy does not care for cake or cupcakes, but will throw down donuts lol. He’s very family oriented and had the biggest smile.
Anyway, here are some pictures:
Picture of me at the movie theater. If I see a cool cutout I won’t let it go to waste lol.
A’s game PC decorated for his birthday.
Curry chickpeas recipe I found and loooove.
Boiling some leftover candle wax. I combined in one jar and used a wick set that I purchased from Amazon and made myself a new candle. I think it’s the last one I have left.
Snow. I am over it lol.
Rosie was holding on to my hand the other night.
Cute bird.
I visited Michael’s craft store the other evening and saw these. Just thought they looked nice. Also a mental note for myself that they sell those there lol.
My current nails 😏
I hope you have a great week and that this month was kind.
Love, light, the shadow too, Cin
