Anybody seen it yet? I hear it's good. I read the book + liked it a whole lot.

Happy birthday!!!!! I love birthdays, and how could you NOT have an awesome one with THAT cake? Definitely added that to my "to cook" list! Enjoy (and report back how it was!)
ReplyDeleteI've read "The Help" and saw the movie yesterday. I have to say that the movie is as good as the book, which is a rare event. I was laughing SO hard. Best movie in a long time. You'll love it! A word of caution - Bring tissues, a lot of people were crying. I have to admit I teared up a few times.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks amazing. Now I want one to go with the salted caramel chocolate ice cream I discovered not long ago.
Happy 28th! Have a great day!
Happy birthday! What a gorgeous collection of items. I hope you get a things as wonderful as these for your special day (:

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Just reminiscing a bit, but at the dinner table I couldnt stop laughing - happened a few times at school, but my laugh is infectious! after about 10minutes we all stopped laughing..but by then even the teacher had started sniggering! Ahh..good times ! ;)

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Beautiful!! You know, besides commenting to wish you an amazingly happy day (and many more to come), I'm hoping for a nice stretchy topped skirt that I can wear for at least part of this pregnancy and then after (because I don't want it to only fit for a little while...) Wait...isn't it your anniversary, too? I seem to remember you being married on your birthday...(do I get double entry if I'm right?).
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I adore your fun style. What a fabulous give away!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! New subscriber here, all I can think of right now is the new tablet PC commercial with the Glee girl singing "Let Me Entertain You." Blame it on late night blogging and pregnancy hormones. ;)

ReplyDeleteHappy fantabulous birthday! I found a note from you when I moved my books last week. I had lent you Harry Potter 4 (so you would be prepared for the 5 release), you returned the book in record time with a simple note "WHOA!" I still keep that note in my book because it makes me giggle every time!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love a new skirt! Happy Birthday!

Happy Day to you :)
ReplyDeleteEntertainment for your special day:
On a red eye (still on the ground, waiting to take off) we have a 5 hour flight ahead of us. I tell my little ones to go to sleep, it's time for bed-when you wake up, we'll be there. My oldest puts her head down and closes her eyes. Not 30 seconds later there is some loud noises and shaking under us as they load luggage on the plane-my eldest pops her eyes open and says "Are we there?!"
We landed in Los Angeles for a layover. As we are waiting to get off the plane my four year old says "Do you know why they call it Los Angeles, Mommy? Because it's where people get lost."
lovin' EVERYTHING... I would be honored to win your loot! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Thanks for the giveaway! jillsstorey (at) yahoo (dot) com

ReplyDeleteI hope this isn't too late (she says skidding under the wire!)
Happy {couple days late} Birthday to YOU!! Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeletei, too, live in burt's bees tinted lip balm (dahlia is my color of choice, but the hibiscus looks equally lovely). not sure if this will entertain you, but i had a dream a while back (one of those new-mom-not-sleeping-much-crazy-dreams) where i came to visit you and you provided all sorts of mothering wisdom and we had the most delightful time together. so thank you to the you who appeared in my dream (and to the real you who always delights me during my morning blog reading time)!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Amanda! Hope the weekend was great and that this upcoming year is the best yet!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The best is always yet to be! With that yummy cake, eat dessert first... and last... and maybe for dinner too! :)
