Day of surprises!

6.6.11- 

  Today is Monday

{that means laundry day around here}  

My little Emily made my day this morning when she came up to me & said that her favorite thing on Monday's was coming home from school & seeing the laundry all washed, folded & put into her laundry basket  & placed by the stairs for her to put away. 

{Ahhhh.... one of those Sweet moments that makes all the things you HAVE to do worth it. Love being a homemaker & a Mom}  

So that was a little *Surprise #1* to start off the day.  

Then it was off to Bountiful to met the {Cultivate} girls for lunch at Sego Lilly Cafe 

{to re-cap the 365 Swap No. 2 & start planning the Fall 365 Swap} 

*surprise #2* it is out of business :(  So the venue quickly got changed to Paradise Bakery- Yum! 

{Small Crumbled Blue Cheese Salad, Zucchini walnut muffin & a DC} 

When I got there *Surprise #3* my friends had brought me gifts for my upcoming birthday this week- so NiCE!
-Here is a picture of what I got- 

A glass honey hive shaped jar filled up with old letter presses!

{Thanks, H} 

A handmade darling book flower 

{thanks B} 

& a "little black{turquoise} book" filled up with fun places to go to shop, go junking & yummy places to eat. Not to mention blank pages for me to fill in with some favorites that I discover along the way {Thanks S} 

Oh yeah... this is all that's left of the bag of tasty white chocolate popcorn I also got 

{the girls & I gobbled it all up!} 

What a fun day of Surprises so far- currently Miss Mace & I are baking *Surprise #4*  Audrey & Emily's birthday cake. They turn 9 tomorrow. {where does the time go?} We saw a picture on Pinterest that inspired us.  Hope it turns out just as cute! 

{I'll have to post a picture of it later} 

Hope you are having a blissful day too!
