It is the most amazingest (spell check says that is in fact a word), selfless, beautiful, talented, incredible woman’s birthday. My best friend is turning 60 (even though she looks 30) today and I hope she has the best day ever.
We celebrated her birthday with the family last night and we even had some special guests come all the way from Arizona; my brother, his wife and their two adorable kids. Not going to lie….being around this 3 month old all night made me even 1,000,000 times more excited for August 24th to come around.
My Mom wanted cheeseburgers for her birthday dinner even though secretly I think she requested that for me because I can’t get enough lately.
We had salad with ranch, fruit, jello with cool whip and chips along with our burgers. There is a hamburger patty with some pepper jack cheese hanging out under that head of lettuce.
My nephew is brilliant and came up with the great idea to dip chips into my sister’s cool whip.
My mom really has the best taste buds in the world because she wanted the Costco 14 layer chocolate cake with ice cream and sugarfied strawberries for dessert.
I have had many food comas throughout my life but last night might have topped the charts. That cake is so rich that you are forced to keep adding more and more ice cream on top of it in order to get through it. I conquered it like a champ.

You and your mom are adorable!! Happy birthday to her:) You are so lucky to have a best friend that is your mom – my mom and I are pretty darn close too, and she only lives like 3 miles away, yay! My hubs and I are 10 and a half years apart!
I would agree, raspberries are the best and I think I’ve had that chocolate cake – we have Sam’s club here, like costco, but not as good;-) and they have this amazing chocolate cake – so good!
Happy Monday! Have a great day:)
Janae
Thanks so much Katie. I love that you and your mom are close too and 3 miles away…I am jealous, my mom is 8 miles away:) 10.5 years apart, that is awesome! Seriously..the cake is to die for. Have an amazing day!
Khushboo
Happy birthday to your madre- hope she has the best day! Your Sunday night dessert would have definitely hit the spot for me last night…I had granola with yogurt and fruit which was pretty lame: left me craving more dessert than I initially was!
Janae
THANK YOU!!! I can send you some leftover dessert….it might take a week to get there ha. Your dessert was my breakfast ha!
Brittany
Happy Birthday to your mom!!! My 22nd b-day is tomorrow :)
My parents are 2 years apart in age (Dad is older) and their age is very close to your parents- I don’t think my mom wants me posting her age…lol. Love love love strawberries. And no, I did not have dessert last night because I’m saving those calories for tomorrow night; we’re going out for gelato!!!
Janae
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW BRITTANY!! I hope you have the best day ever and that you get to eat a lot of dessert:) Ha….I forgot to ask my mom if I could post her age…oops. Enjoy your gelato!
abbey

Nicole
They are just a few months apart but for some reason I can’t remember how old. Mid 60’s. Michael and I are 2 yrs, 2 months apart.

The Kidless Kronicles
Janae
No dessert on a Sunday night?!?!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated
Aww Happy Birthday to your mom!! Looks like such a fun time! My parents were actually 12 years apart, but they divorced when I was really young. Brandon and I are only a month apart … and I’m older than him! I’m such a cougar. ;)
Janae
One month apart….that makes me so happy you cougar. I would hold that against him all the time if I were you…you are older and therefore wiser:)
Lisa
Happy Birthday to HRG Mom!
Your family makes some gorgeous kids. The baby looks just like her cousin who is holding her in the photo.
Janae
Thanks so much Lisa!! They really do look alike, you are right!
Gabby
My parents are exactly 3 days apart, and got married exactly 3 days once they met. I just love how our parents never give up!!

Wait….they got married three days after meeting each other. WOW, that is so cool!! I love it.
Heather @ Run Eat Play

Happy Birthday to your Mom!
My Mom will be 53 this July. My Dad is 5 years older than her. Me and my husband are 1 year and 4 months apart, he is older than me.
The raspberries we had from Costco last week were so good! But I think blueberries are my favorite.
I didn’t have dessert, too full but I did snag a bit of my hubby’s chocolate cupcake :)
Janae
Thanks so much Lindsey! Wahoo…1 year and 4 months! You are right blueberries are incredible and the combo of those with raspberries are to die for!
Elizabeth
1. My parents are 52 and 53. My dad is about 11 months older than my mom. I’m 11 months older than my boyfriend. :)
2. I love ALL berries, especially raspberries and blueberries. They have “kiwiberries” at Sam’s Club right now, but I can’t bring myself to pay the $5 to try them to figure out what in the world they are. Anyone know?!
3. I did have a March birthday! March 1! Even though I turned 26, I threw a fit because of leap year. My birthday is SUPPOSED to be the day after February 28. That extra day…UGH!
4. I had Irish Mist apples for dessert last night! My boyfriend’s parents were in town and his mom made an Irish feast for us last night (corned beef, mashed potatoes, soda bread!). She also made these baked apples that you eat with cream…. I can totally get behind that!
Janae
Um….your dinner and dessert are making me drool…got any leftovers?!?! WHAT…I must try these kiwi berries, they sound incredible. HAPPY HAPPY BDAY on March 1st and boo to that extra day hahahah! We are the same age!
Chrissy
Gosh, all the best people in the world were born on March 19th:) Me, too! Happy 60th birthday to your Mama, Janae! I hope her day is wonderful!
[I agree – there is NO WAY she is 60 – she looks fabulous!]
Janae
CHRISSY!!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you are having the best bday ever! Have any fun plans?!?!
samHOTmess
HOLY MOLY! That’s the youngest 60 year old ever!
This past weekend 2 of my friends got engaged and one had her baby…

Leyna
My birthday is on the 31st of March – and I’ll be 30! Eek! My Dad is about 10 months older than my Mom, and my husband is about 8 months older than me. I love strawberries and blueberries…about equally as much. We had a chocolate fudge cake with touchdown sunday ice cream last night. It was so incredibly good! My sister and I were both craving chocolate, so we decided to act on it. Not so good for our diets, but it was good for our souls :)
Janae
AHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the 31st…that is so so exciting! Um…do you have any leftover cake, you are making me drool! Yes, chocolate IS good for the soul:)
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud!
fun!
my parents are 10 years apart! My mom is actually 10 years older than my dad. Torrance is about 8 months older than me so not a huge difference!
Janae
Really…that is so cool!!!!
Tess
Happy birthday to your mom but let me just say, Costco has the best cake ever. I once joined Costco just for the cake. It was my birthday present. It was the only time I visited Costco all year. Best cake ever.
Janae
I knew I liked you….I totally would get the membership just for the cake too!
Jenn@ Run It My Way
This is the sweetest post – happy birthday to your lovely mama! Today must be a lucky day- it’s my baby sister’s birthday too :)
My boyfriend and I are 18 months apart – I am therefore much more youthful and vibrant :)
Janae
AHHH tell your little sister happy bday! You are definitely more youthful and vibrant hahaha!
Meghan Rene
Last night was angel food cake with choco whipped frosting – yum! My parents are 5 year & 2 months apart. The SO and I are 1 year and 9 days apart (June 28th & July 6th).

Janae
Meghan, your dessert sounds AMAZING! I bet there is a lot of fun packed into those two weeks of both of your brays!
Colleen
Happy Bday to your mom!!! My parents are 4 months apart and both turned 60 this year. My husband and I are 11 days apart!! No dessert or berries for me!! Have a good day back at work. .

I love family dinners. I am bummed that I don’t get to go to my parentals every Sunday. I will be there next Sunday though when we bless my niece though. Yessss for brunch food :)
My dad will be 62 in May & my mom is 58 – they are 3 & 1/2 years apart. My hubby and I are 2 years and 4 months apart. To the date. His birthday is on the 25th, so is mine and so is my sons…my poor daughter got hosed and hers is in the 17th.
Strawberries are my all time fave. I eat them almost every day and will even pay up the wazoo to keep them in my fridge all year round.
Janae
OH GOOD….glad you will be with your fam next Sunday! The little one above is also getting blessed and we will be doing a brunch too! It is amazing how much I will pay for berries too ha!
Theresa

Elizabeth
Happy Birthday Janae’s mom!! I hope I look as young as you do at 60!
My husband and I are 1 day apart, but he is one year behind me in school…something about boys and being held back a year for sports :) The first 5 digits of our social security number are the same too!
My daughter turned 5 in March!!
I like all berries!! Last night’s dessert was moose tracks ice cream (and a peanut butter cookie on the side)
Janae
I know…I am hoping I got all of her non-aging genes:) ONE DAY APART…that is so fun and you have the same 5 digits of your ss#….coolest thing ever! You were meant to be. Happy bday to your daughter! Moose tracks is the best!
Lauren
Janae, Your nieces and nephews are seriously the best looking kids ever!! I cannot wait to see how beautiful your baby is going to be.
My Sunday night dessert was Praline froyo with lots of candy on top. I think my favorite was the twix bar though.
Happy birthday to your wonderful mom!
Janae
Thanks so much Lauren!! You are so sweet! YUM…I am so happy you had delicious froyo last night…good call on the TWIX, best decision ever.
Aimee @ See Aimee Run
Happy Birthday to your mom! My parents are three years apart, and they’re in their early 50s. My husband and I are 12 days apart- I’m older. On my birthday every year he jokes about being into “older women” ;)
I don’t know if I could choose between strawberries and raspberries. I love them both so much!!
Christine
Happy birthday to your Mom! My parents are 4 years apart. I am 4 months older than my hubby.
My daughter is turning 2 on Thursday! Birthday shopping for my kids is so much fun! I wish Thursday was today so I could give her presents!
We had peanut m&m’s for dessert.
I love blueberries! Those are definitely my favorite.
Yellow Haired Girl
Happy Birthday to your momma! And I DID have Sunday night dessert …. I never do! But I went to go visit my parents – and there was a plate of cookies :) Parents rock haha
Christina @ The Athletarian
Happy birthday to your mom! My parents are only a couple of years apart but me and Deano are 8 years apart!! I know you would never know it because he still looks pretty young for his age!
Your family is the cutest. I love Billy’s face in the background of that picture. He is looking at your nephew with such a happy glow. You are going to make such amazing parents :)
Janae
Thanks so much Christina….that picture made me super happy too! 8 years apart, he does look young. I love learning more about you two!
Jen

MY BDAY IS MARCH 29TH!!!!!! :)
Cat @ Breakfast to Bed
when I was pregnant, i ate more cheeseburgers than you can possibly imagine. A RIDICULOUS amount. If you cut E in half, he is half burger and half baked good.
Last night I had peanut butter no bakes with toffee chips.
Chels R.
Happy birthday to mama!
Sounds like a fabulous day…that dessert looks great! Yesterday I had a skinny ice cream sandwich for dessert – yours sounds better! Oh and I’m all about nonstop dance parties!!
My birthday is in April…haha.
Love strawberries!
My dad and mom are 2 yrs and me and my boyfriend are 5 years apart!! My boo is an old man :)
Have a great week sweet girl!!
kari @ Running Ricig
Happy birthday to your mom!!
I think my dad is 57 and my mom 56…I’m not exactly sure, though. I’m clearly a terrible daughter.
My brother’s birthday was yesterday.
For dessert yesterday I had homemade pb cups. They were amazing!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries

My mom is a year older than my dad (both in September) but my dad is 10 years older than my step-mom (March)
Losing Lindy
My Mom is 62, my birthday is in July..a ways off yet.
Kaelin
Happy Birthday to your Mom!!!! :)
That chocolate cake + ice cream + strawberries combo looks amazing!
My parents are 55/56, they are 11 months apart. My husband is 26 and 350 days younger than me.
We had lots of dessert this weekend, but nothing on Sunday. I guess I was over my limit by then.
Ricole Runs
Happy birthday to your mom! What a sweet lady. My mom is also turning 60 this year, hard to believe! My dad turning 62. My husband and I are 359 days apart (had to do some math there!).
Brandi
My mother turned 61 March the 5th! :) My father is just over 2 years older than my mother.
My favorite berry right now is cherries…love them!
natalie@ southern fit foodie
Happy birthday to your adorable mom!!!
My parents are both 52 right now – but my mom’s bday is in a couple of weeks. She is five months older than my dad. Daniel is 4 years and 2 months older than me.
I love berries!!! Raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries are my favorite, except for when strawberries are in season, then they win.
Linda
Happy Birthday Janae’s mom! I splurged last night and got a Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s for dessert. I figure since they only sell them this time of the year, I HAD to get one! YUMMY!!
Lizz
No way — my dad turned 60 on Saturday! Sadly I didn’t get to be there cause my whole family still lives back in Chicago while I’m out here in Utah…
My Mom is exactly 1 year and 2 weeks younger than my dad. My hubby is 4 months and 1 day older than me.
Sunday night dessert was twizzlers and airheads. Dessert of champions.
Tabaitha
Happy Birthday to your mom! It is also my Great Grandmother’s Birthday and my parents Anniversary. My mom is 53 and my dad is 50. They are young! Adam celebrates his birthday on Wednesday! We are only 15 days apart.
I love strawberries and raspberries. Yesterday we went to Costco to stock up on produce and I bought strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. I made a bowl of mixed berries for dessert last night. The raspberries were my favorite part. I could eat the entire carton in one sitting. I had a March birthday on March 6th.
Erica
I heart all berries, but blueberry if you make me pick.
I am 1 year 4 months older than my husband. He has the wisdom of a 50 year old and the fun factor of a 25 year old. I am lucky to be married to someone so responsible and adult…..but yet so.much.fun to be around!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
My parents are actually 10 years apart! And the most interesting part is that my dad was born in ’47, my mom was born in ’57 and I was born in ’87, which means that I always know how old they are based on my age. For example, I turned 24 this year, which means my mom turned 54 and my dad turned 64! Although my mother still claims she turned 24… again.
Jillian @ sprinkle massacre
Awww my Mom just turned 60 last week too!! (a.k.a best friend + also looks 30!)… Happy Birthday mama hungry runner girl! :)
Lizzy
ohhh my gosh I just got Goosie-bumps looking at the cute lil baby and knowing that you will have one soon!! :) eeeek I am so excited for you!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend J!!
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your beautiful mama!!
xoxo!
Sandy
Happy Birthday to HRM (Hungry Runner Mom)!! She can only have that name for a few more months and then that is going to be you!! HAHA!!
Janae
You are so right:) Love it!
Amanda @FancyOatmeal
I love how you love your mom – it’s very parallel to my own relationship with my mother. She’s my best friend and I love her to death! My parents are three years and one week apart in age, which makes it nice to be able to celebrate their birthdays around the same time.
Right now my favorite berry is the blue berry. Love the flavor and adding it to my oatmeal. And last night, I had Sunday Night Dessert (SND) and it was Angel Food Cake with strawberries!!!
Kayla @ kpLovingit
Happy Birthday to your mom!
My parents are only a couple of months apart, same with my in-laws…and my sister-in-law and brother-in-law…but my husband and I are 10 years and 1 month apart! There is the same age difference between my husband and my mom (15 years), as there is between my husband’s sister and me!
Last night I was craving froyo way too late, so my husband brought my a huge variety platter of icecream to me in bed for us to share. It was amazing! :)
susette
Your mama is a very cute sweet lady, from the 45 seconds I met her. Happy Birthday to you ♪♫Happy Birthday to you♫ Happy Birthday dear Janae’s MOOOOOOMMMMMM♫♪ Happy birthday to Youuuuuu♪

Jessie
That is a fantastic picture of you and your mom! Happy Birthday to her! It is my birthday tomorrow, and my best friend is coming all the way from DC to spend the day with me. My parents are 3 years apart (52 and 55), so pretty young still. My husband and I are so far apart that I haven’t even met him yet:)
Valori
And it’s going to be the best birthday ever!!!
My parents are 4 years apart. My husband and I are 2.5 years apart. Strawberries are the best thing ever. And I made a key lime pie last night.
Most importantly: It’s my bestie’s birthday tomorrow!!!
Janae
Thanks Jessie and HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! I love that your best friend is coming down to visit you! Bahahah you are far apart;)
Wait Valori….are you the bestie going to visit Jessie tomorrow?!?!
Valori

My parents are a year and one month apart- dad is 59, mom is 58.
The husband is almost 4 years older than me. 3 years and 10 months to be more accurate.
I love marionberries- which aren’t that common outside of the Pacific Northwest. I miss that.
Raquel @ Toned, Tan, Fit & Techie
How old are your parents? How many years apart are they? How far apart are you and your significant other?
My mother is 50 and her husband is 38! Ha. Me and my SO are 8 months apart.
What is your favorite berry? What fruit is in season where you are at?
Blackberries! We have a bunch of blackberry brambles in the yard and my mom makes jam from them.
W\
Did you have a Sunday night dessert?
Yup. Mangos and Cool whip
Christina Marie
My mom and stepdad are 3 years apart, my dad and stepmom are 8 years apart. The boy and I are 6 years apart.
Strawberries forever <3
I was boring last night and had Special K (plain) for dessert.
michelle kim
Aww! She’s so nice to request cheeseburgers, knowing you would totally enjoy them… or perhaps knowing that her GRANDCHILD is requesting them :).
My older brother’s birthday is this Wednesday!
My parents were both born in 1950, so my dad turned 63 in February, and my mom will soon be following in July. We are about 38 years apart!
Amy
Happy birthday to your mom.
My parents are 1 day apart. My mom just turned 58 on Thursday and my dad turned 58 on Friday. My husband is 3 years and 2 months older than me.
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health
Aww, happy birthday to your mom!! She is a gorgeous woman…and doesn’t look anywhere near 60. Chris and I are about 10 months apart. I did not have a dessert this weekend, but I think I shall have some fro-yo here in the next couple of days :).
Page
Happy happy birthday to your mom! It makes my heart smile to see that the two of you and best buds!

CatieB

I love raspberries too! They are the best!
I’m four months OLDER than my boyfriend!
I think my parents are six years apart??
Rachelle
Happy Birthday to your Mom!!! Wow she is absolutely beautiful and so are you! I think the gorgeous gene runs in the family. :)
What a fun fun day and I ate myself into a food coma yesterday as well so you are not alone my friend.
jordan @ justacupofjo
happy birthday to your mom!!! also, i just tried cottage cheese for the first time yesterday and i am OBSESSED… it is SO GOOD. Speaking of birthdays… if your baby comes at the due date, we will have the same birthday!! :)
Jana (Running Vegetarian)
Happy Birthday to your momma!
My son was born this year on March 5.
Its a toss up between raspberries and strawberries when it comes to my favorite berry.
Running Girl
Happy Birthday to your mama! My mom is turning 60 in November, & we’re planning some sort of a fun girls trip at the end of the summer. Can’t wait!
Katie
awww HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your lovely mom!!! looks like you guys had such a fun party too :)
my dad turns 60 this year, too! and my mum is 4 years younger than he is. oddly enough, my hubby is also 4 years older than me!! 4 years is a special number in our fam, i guess;)
i used to really not like raspberries (or blackberries, or any berries with those little seeds in them- besides strawberries) but now i can’t get enough of raspberries! i love them in cereal, granola, yogurt, plain. yummm!
Chris
My parents are just under 3 weeks apart, but one is in Dec and the other in Jan so it seems like they are further apart since they have different birth years.
My hubby and I are only 6 days apart :)
Jenna
My husband and I share a birthday.
Month, date and year.
Although, it sounded great while we were dating at first (and it’s the reason that we met).
Fast forward to many years later and it is not fun.
Who plans for the fun birthday day?
Who makes the cake or orders it?
We celebrated our 30th last year and I really wanted to have a surprise party for him BUT I did not want to plan one for him on my birthday.
Needless to say, it’s not as great as I thought.
Although, he will never forget my birthday (I just don’t usually get a gift).
Robin
Happy Birthday Janae’s mom! She shares a birthday with my husband, so she must be fantastic! It seems like most of my family is born in April. I’m April 2, my daughter (turning 1 in two weeks!) is April 4th, my grandpa was April 5th, my dad is the 7th, my twin nephews are the 19th, and my B-I-L is the end of April.
OMG that cake. I am obsessed with the regular Costco sheet cake, but I am a huge chocolate freak so I must try the 14 layer cake…I hope you are not exaggerating about the amount of layers!
Maggie
Happy birthday to your mom! That cake looks DELICIOUS!!! I love Costco cakes!
So it’s not MY birthday, but next week is my favorite gym instructor’s birthday and a huge group of us are planning to surprise him after class – complete with homemade cupcakes, a huge card signed by everybody at the gym (literally EVERYONE loves him), and balloons! Oh, AND we got him a gift certificate for a sports massage (with a man who has magic hands, I kid you not!) – he did a half-ironman race yesterday and will probably need it!! I’m so excited to surprise him!
Holly
Happy Birthday to your Mom!! 60 is a BIG birthday :D & it looks like she had the perfect birthday, although I agree, she doesn’t look a day over 30 :)
Can you please send me some of that cake?? it looks SO good with the strawberries on it. YUM. Makes me want some right now!!
Isn’t Billy FREEZING with no sleeves on?? BRR! Looks cold!!
Amy
Happy Birthday to your mom!
My parents are 16 months apart. My husband and I are 6.5yrs apart.
My favorite berries right now are blackberries. I love strawberries too.
My birthday is in March (this coming Sunday).
Tess
My mom and my sister share March 19 as a birthday! Happy Birthday to your mom! Your dinner (and DESSERT) look delicious..
Jentry Nielsen
Wow that cake looks so delicious! Especially because strawberries are my favorite fruit! Families are so fun! I love birthdays that get everyone together! Hope your mom had a great birthday! My dad’s is on the 27th! He is a March baby as well!! :)
Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon
Hey! My parents are also two days apart! 8 years apart though. But, it’s so fun to celebrate their birthdays together!
No fruits are in season yet here in Vermont but my favorite fruit of the moment is pear!
Katheryn
Happy Birthday to your momma! The cake looks massive and yummy!
My parents are one year and 20 days apart. Mom is 51 and Dad is 50. Almost birthday time for them though. Hubby and I are 7 years apart. He’s 37 and I’m 30. I like being the younger one in the relationship.
Love berries. I think raspberries are my favorite, but I’ve been loving the blueberries this year too.
Heather@Just a Colorado Gal
My bday was March 1– finally 30!
I’ve been on a raspberry kick lately too– just made a raspberry chocolate cheesecake that was tasty!
natalie
Happy Birthday to your sweet Mum…she looks like a nice lady!
Lizzi
Awww happy birthday to your lovely Mumma!
Crazy age gaps in my family! My parents are 64, my sister – the oldest child – is 44, and I – the youngest, am 24! We like 20 year gaps apparently :)
My parents are only 5 months apart, and when I was a little kid I was CERTAIN that you ‘weren’t allowed’ to marry somebody who wasn’t the same age as you… I figured you just had to pick someone from your grade at school!
Maybe that’s why I’ve gone on to have a boyfriend whose birthday is less than a month after mine! ;)
SHOCK AND HORROR i’m actually not a huge berry person… but I like them all in desserts/with ice cream :D At the moment, PEARS and GRAPES are amazing here. Apples are coming in to season, along with rhubarb and figs. I love autumn fruit, so I’m pretty excited!
EVERYONE in my office is born in March except me! We joke that all these Pisces people gang up on me… the only Virgo! Lucky your bubba will be joining me (better not come early!!) in this prestigious club ;)
My Sunday night dessert was HOT CROSS BUN ICE CREAM, topped with a scary amount of Nutella :D

Happy birthday!
My parents are 2 years apart, my mom is older.
And my birthday is NEXT WEEK (March 28). Not sure why I’m excited, because nothing special will happen, but, hey, 23 is an awesome number. And 22 has sucked.

Awe, happy birthday to your beautiful mom! She does not look anywhere close to 60; great genes! ;)
I don’t know my mother so not sure of the age difference there. My husband is about 7 months older than I am. ;)
Your nieces and nephews are so cute! Your niece looks so much like you!
I love strawberries! Except right now, I’ve been hooked on the Cara Cara oranges that Courtney, from Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life raved about. Luckily, they carry them at Costco. ;)
