Last weekend, I celebrated my birthday early with the crew I effectionally think of as “my boos”. To give you a quick rundown if you’re new here – a few years ago, Dani invited a handful of other bloggers to brunch, “Bubbles & Bloggers” grew and grew, but then a solid handful of us became super close. These girls are like my DC sisters now and I’m obsessed with them.
When I told Dani that I wanted a “City Kitties in the Country” birthday (kitties and camo!) she actually got in touch with my mom to help plan and my mom RAN with it. Leopard print, pink, camo, some of my bests, at one of my favorite places. I grew up at Montgomery Country Club, and it was so cool to be able to share it. There was actually a really cool moment when I pointed out my sister’s memorial tree and then one of the balloons popped and landed on me. I like to think that was just her way of joining the party.
Aside from thanking my mom and girls for the amazing day, I wanted to thank the vendors who helped make the day special. Obviously, MCC was a huge factor. We had our own private dining area and it was perfect for our group. My mom specifically wanted me to shout out her favorite local party store, THE PARTY PLACE for the purrfect balloon bouquet. The limo that got us to and from Maryland safely and stylishly was from ABC Limo. Xavier, our driver, was so much fun and a really nice guy. He even filmed some content for us – his idea!
My mom put together really cute goodie bags for us, and the coolest thing in them were bracelets from Sashka Co –
Sashka Co. partners with several organizations in Nepal that train and employ hundreds of artisans in rural communities. Our partners are focused on gender equality and empowering women. The women at the co-ops earn a living wage that exceeds the local minimum wage. Sashka Co. was founded in 2013 with an amazing team of seventeen artisans. Thanks to the support of Sashka Co. Bracelets customers, we now provide sustainable jobs to 450+ artisans in Nepal.
It was really cute to see my friends immediately put them on and trade them like friendship bracelets.
We also made a stop at Lone Oak Farm to try out their party tents, and my dad made an appearance to say hi. I loved being in my hometown for an afternoon and showing off that where I grew up could really be a lot of fun.
Sunday was a truly amazing day and I feel so incredibly loved. I’m one lucky girl.
