In my world, a perfect birthday should include...
A morning full of cuddle time the hubs, with no alarms or work to worry about.
A carb-laden breakfast of delicious pasteries and chai(which are both magically calorie-free).
Scouring my favorite thrift stores with my BFF(who would be the lovely Zooey Deschanel, of course).
Doing some dreaming and sketching at a cafe.
Indulging in a fresh baked pan of brownies.(Because Brownies > Cake.)
My husband surprising me with a sweet face like this.
Or this.
Or this! Followed by a non-stop snugglefest, naturally.
For dinner we'd have some delicious sushi.
We'd build a magic fort in the living room with mountains of pillows...
Make some hot chocolate, with extra marshmallows...
And watch movies long into the night(which would--fantasy or not-- most likely be Disney flicks).
Perfect.
GIVEAWAY! Since it's my birthday and I've declared I can do whatever I please (and also because I'm so appreciative of each and every one of you who reads this little blog!), I've decided to have my very first giveaway! Up for grabs is a lovely print from awesome Etsy artist RosieMusic (along with a few little surprise treats from me). This print, titled Home Sweet Home Vol.2, is 8x10" and printed on wood veneer paper. It's such a cute print... I have several other prints from RosieMusic and I love them SO much.

Happy Birthday! Hope its fabulous! A part of my perfect day would include sleeping in late, brunch, a massage, trip to the bookstore & dinner out.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Caiti! Enjoy your special day! A part of my perfect day would be to go to an independent bookstore, browse through the aisles of books, and read for awhile. I am also going to tweet this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your birthday :) Hope it's extra special sweet. I love your photo list of birthday perfection. This is a new(er) perfect day idea for me: spending daytime hours out in my city with my cameras. Nothing else on the agenda except to take photos of what might otherwise slip by my glance. A vintage/thrift store sighting along the route would move it from perfect day to magical day :) Enjoy yours!
ReplyDeletemy perfect day would be waking up only when i am ready, a tasty brunch at cafe' patachou, window shopping along mass ave and then tapas and a cocktail.
ReplyDeletepsst....happy birthday
Happy Happy Birthday! My perfect day would (also) include no-calorie delicious pastries and decadent coffee and lots of snuggling. :) Hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to you!! i think my perfect day would be a good mix of alone time, family time, and something indulgent like a spa pedicure or a fancy dinner out.
ReplyDeleteHappy b-day. My perfect day would consist of sleeping in while my husband took care of our 6 month old, then a nice lunch out, while the baby sleeps, followed by a trip to a museum or kid-friendly attraction to with our daughter. And, to top it off, I would love a nice quiet dinner and the baby sleeping through the night.
ReplyDeleteA girl can only dream, right?

my perfect day would include lots of daylight - including lunch outdoors. carb-laden and calorie-free, please!! i'd finish it off with a concert from one of my favorite bands - superchunk or another 90s era indie band i listened to in high school and still love.

Hi Caitie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to have found your blog. Happiest of Happy Birthdays.
As I continued to read this post, I kept wondering if you'd be able to top what you had just mentioned...and every time, I was thinking, 'oh man, that's awesome!!!!!!'. Sounds like the perfect birthday to me.
A perfect day for me would include:
-reading a book snuggled up in my pj's inbed, maybe with a hot cup of tea
- journaling and taking pictures
-going on a nice long run outdoors
-loving my family and friends.
Right now, I crave these things.
Can't wait to come back and read more. So happy to have found you! :)

ReplyDeletesorry for spelling your name incorrectly. pretend like the e on the end isn't there!
Happy Birthday, Caiti! 28 is gonna be a good one! My perfect day would be a Corona commercial, minus the Corona and insert fruit smoothie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Caiti! Ok, my perfect day... It would start out with a lazy cup of tea with my mister and then a stroll across the street for a bikini clad warm water surf session. From there we'd be off to a late brunch, followed by an afternoon of thrifting and then off to our fav Mexican joint to have quac and 'ritas with good friends. The day ends with snuggles on the couch with our fur baby, feeling tan and salty, and of course this would be a Saturday, which means we get to wake up and repeat tomorrow. ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Caiti! Happy (belated) Birthday! Hope your day was wonderful! I love your description of your perfect day. I think mine would include doing a winetasting with my hubby at one of the wineries around here, going to a bookstore, walking along Lake Ontario, and many cups of tea throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have 'met' you this past year and looking forward what 28 holds for you. xoxo
ps. will answer your e-mail tomorrow
Hey fellow Aquarian. My birthday was last Thursday. I think your dream day sounds perfect. I especially love the indoor fort idea.
ReplyDeleteMy perfect day included a mini shopping spree at my favorite art supply store, cuddling with my kids and hubby, wine, movie watching, dinner at a cool vegetarian restaurant, and a HUGE chocolate cake with piles of chocolate frosting.
I hope your Birthday is filled with all that you love!
happy belated birthday! your day sounds absolutely perfect - especially all the food involved ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy perfect day would include quietly walking in a forest or on a beach on a sweetly beautiful warm summer morning. Happy Birthday to you!
