Gonna Party Like It’s My Birthday…

What do me, Danica Patrick, Juvenile, Elton John, and Sarah Jessica Parker have in common?  Well, in addition to great hair and expensive taste in clothes, we all share the same birthday.  You can see what celebrities were born on the same day as you here.

Sunshine on My Shoulders” by John Denver could have been blasting in the delivery room while my mom was pushing me out.  It was the #1 song on my birthday.  This site lets you see the #1 song for any particular date: your birthday, anniversary, etc.  On the day Morris was born, it was “Let it Burn” by Usher, and my MD was doing the tootsie roll to “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne as she pulled a breeched Bronson out.

If you want to know how old you are in dog years, your birth tree, or when you were concieved (TMI for me) then check out this site.  It will give you a gazillion tidbits regarding the day you were born.  I will sleep much bettr tonight knowing that the Mayan Calendar long count date of my birthday is 12.18.0.12.7 which is 12 baktun 18 katun 0 tun 12 uinal 7 ki.  

And last but not least, I just might grab some free grub at Black Angus, Captain D’s, Daphne’s Greek Cafe, or Souplantation then hop on over to Baskin Robbins for a free 2.5 scoop of ice cream.  This site shows you all kinds of freebies you can get in your neighborhood or online for your birthday.  The free swag doesn’t stop there.  You can also check out the freebies for your kids and your pet. 

So, don’t be a birthday scrooge on your special day.  These sites will hopefully make getting older (and wiser) just a little bit of fun.

With the holidays comes gift giving for our family and friends. But many of us like to include the people who are a part of our daily lives throughout the year. Walletpop did a great list citing Emily Post’s rec, Consumer Reports 2010 tipping survey, as well as their own 2 cents. And of course, […]

Neiman Marcus At Target

I LOVE how so many elite designers are now offering less expensive lines at chain stores. Recently, I had a field day shopping Narciso Rodriguez and Vera Wang at Kohl’s. I went bananas when Missoni hit Target shelves. Well, next up is the Neiman Marcus gift collection at Target. The retail powerhouses bring together 24 […]

FREE Apple/Mac Workshop For Kids

Summer is here! Our summer is filled with lazy days, cooking projects, cookouts by the pool, and summer camp. I like to add 1 or 2 fun educational activities too just for a little balance. I found a super cool workshop the Apple stores are offering. Apple products aren’t cheap, so when they offer something […]

Tokidoki (Tattoo) Barbie Rocks

I collect Barbie dolls. I have over 50 Barbies. I am very proud of this. As a young girl growing up, there weren’t many dolls that physically resembled me. Most of them were blonde hair and blue eyes. However, over time Barbie has evolved and now celebrates many different characteristics and beauty in women. I respect and […]

My Fave Date

I love spending time with my boys. Seeing them laugh together and fight together is all part of the package. Being a threesome is great, but sometimes one on one attention is needed too. Mo is great with his little brother, but I remind myself that for 4 years, Mo had me all to himself. […]

I Hate Commercialized Kid Places

I am not a fan of Chuck E. Cheese, Disneyland, amusement parks, indoor playgrounds, pumpkin patches, petting zoos… Basically, the list goes on and on (going to cool sporting events is exempt from this list!). If it is a commercialized place for kids, the chance of me enjoying it is prolly lower on my list […]

On my 1st trip to New York, I FELL IN LOVE. No, not with NYC…but with MAGNOLIA BAKERY! Soooo many of my New Yorker friends kept telling me to try it. With so many tourist sights to see, I didn’t think I’d have time. It’s just another bakery, right? Wrong! My sweet tooth got the […]
