It was my birthday yesterday, I’m officially 41! Mike and the kids put together a great quarantine birthday for me with thoughtful presents, delicious food, and lots of love and attention. I heard from my family and tons of friends, and felt very loved and special. We all know I LOVE gifts, but getting those sweet, funny, loving messages and calls from people felt especially nice in this time of distance and separation. Here’s hoping these next 365 days are better and happier for everyone!

~I got a bike for my birthday, so I can now go on bike rides with the kids! I’m looking for a basket for the handlebars. Does anyone have a basket they like? I’m overwhelmed by the options!
~Mike has really been into cooking since our quarantine started, so the kids and I gave him an air fryer for Father’s Day. I’m just mad we didn’t get one sooner.
~My friend Kristen wrote a book that I highly recommend! Check it out!
Happy Sunday, everyone!

I have the rear mounted version, but they have front mounted options. I like the removable aspect, and I can bring it into stores.

So glad you had a lovely birthday! I always remember yours since mine is a week after. What a weird time to have a birthday!
An air fryer is the next gadget on our to-buy list. I’ve had my Instant Pot for almost two years and still use it almost daily. Anything to make food yummier and easier is a win in my book!

A belated happy birthday to you! My son’s was the 26th, and he’s older than you by several years.

I have this one in black, but don’t see the black is available anymore. It’s also removable – easy on, easy off.
Happy birthday!
