This is for the Birthday Bash challenge. My birthday is on Monday and I’m daydreaming of a perfectly sweet watermelon with mixed berries for my dessert. The perfect healthy treat for a Summer birthday party.

Sometimes Mom needs to rest , why not on her birthday!

For the prim and posh and tea lovers alike, an afternoon tea party would be the best birthday bash. Throw an elegant affair British-style with beautiful linens, delicate china wares and shiny cuttleries. Then serve your guests with dainty finger foods, traditional scones, cream and jam and mini desserts. Select your favorite loose leaf tea and never forget milk and sugar on the table. Lastly, what is a birthday party without a layered cake?

My mother used to bake me a chocolate cake with sweets and candles on it for birthday breakfast. And after i blowed out the candles i get my birthday presents. Oh sweet childhood memories ...

Be sure to eat some pie on pi day- March 14th. It's my favorite non-holiday!

I love anything Thai, so a refreshing Thai basil sangria for the summer is definitely a double win! The porthole was created as an aesthetic idea for people to be able to see the nicely arranged ingredients of their cocktail, as the servers in a bar/restaurant are pouring their drinks out through its spout.

Reminiscing about summers throughout my childhood and this memory came to mind. I had just moved to Wisconsin from California and my family and I went and picked raspberries in the backyard before my uncle removed all of the bushes. I remember being fascinated by the color of the raspberries and I would inspect them closely before eating them. Unfortunately, I inspected them too closely and found that there were tiny bugs crawling on them! It's okay, I enjoyed them while I could.
