Happy Birthday Mom!

No, I did not make this one. Mom loves her raspberry cake from Publix!

Publix really does make the best cakes. I love Kroger, but their cakes are terrible!

I don't actually think my mom has any more room on her football trees, but that won't stop her asking for them every year!

Give us all the ornaments! Hah! But really though... haha

The infamous reindeer!

My mom's birthday was on the 25th, which was a day that everyone (except her, ironically) had off, so we took her out for a birthday lunch/dinner. The best part of going out to eat on your birthday is the free dessert. Unless they sing to you, then it's not quite as worth it.

I was kind of excited because I was actually able to surprise her this year. Connor and I got her an Ott Light, which is like a special lamp for crafts? I'm still not totally sure. Check out the link. She picked it out and we bought it.

BUT I was able to get her a Limited Edition Ornament she really wanted. Father Christmas's Reindeer. There were none left by the time we got there in July, and she was super bummed.

So I was pumped that I could find one for her!

Anyway. I'll end this with a little fun fact: Katy Perry and my mom share the same birthday. Boom.

XOXO, Ness

September Vacay Video!

Up North from Vanessa Rutters on Vimeo.

Note to self: take more videos! Can't lie, making this one was kind of a stretch considering the footage I had, or didn't have. It wasn't much!

But I still wanted to make one. It's how I can remember things. Even if the majority of it wasn't actually filmed. Oh well. I'll do better next time! Promise!

XOXO, Ness
