My ideal Friday night:

And a movie (although we saw 10 Cloverfield Lane and it might have been the worst movie I have ever seen).

But at least I had these beauties.

We went to Target at 11:30 pm to buy Brooke’s Easter stuff because that is a normal Friday night activity.

Happy birthday!! I hope your moms birthday is full of lots of joy and love!

Plans for today – watching some basketball, maybe a nap, cleaning up my house and hopefully some reading. We got snow yesterday so it is a good excuse to get a few things done inside!

It’s my mom’s birthday today, too! I laughed when I saw your post at the coincidence of it.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Coincidence that in the picture of you and lindsey at target you can see the words ‘party animals ‘ behind you? I think not.

Happy birthday to your mom. She is such a wonderful, kind and supportive mom. One I hope to be like for my family. She has done such a wonderful job raising a close knit family who love each other and that is a testament to the wonderful woman she is.

I have my first race of the year this afternoon! a 5k and then I plan on running 3 more miles later because I have 6 on the schedule today. I am so excited.

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA HRG!!! Thank you for reading all of our comments and I hope your day is wonderful. I just recently (yesterday) shared my blog with friends and family on facebook (kind of a vulnerable feeling) and I hope my parents will read my blog as well!!! You are awesome.

Reply

That IS a vulnerable thing. I definitely find myself censored in what I write. I’m very careful to make sure I never ever hurt anyone’s feelings which means some days I find myself saying..huh…sure is great weather today! ha.

Reply

Happy birthday! I hope it’s a joy filled day.

I am resting up today for tomorrow’s Half marathon. I have the beginning of a cold so I am doing every home remedy I can think of, including rest, to get rid of it.

Reply

Happy birthday to your mom! I hope you have a great one.

I’ve heard by several people that cloverfield sucked. I haven’t even heard of it otherwise haha.

Our todo list today has lots of errands, including Easter shopping, and some car stuff. Maybe a run somewhere in there.

Happy birthday to your wonderful mother! I love seeing how close you remain to your family over time. I come from a big family too with four siblings and I’m very close to my mom too. It’s good to know how close you all still are and how much you still see and communicate with each other all the time. My youngest sibling is 11 but I’m hoping our family bond will be as strong as yours! Have a great weekend, Janae!

Reply

Happy Birthday to your mom!!! I hope you guys celebrate some more with yummy food!!! I am off to a body pump class this morning then looking forward to my husband coming back from a trip! We are going to key things low key this weekend as we get ready for our big trip to London next week!! Have a great weekend!

Reply

Wait what was bad about 10 Cloverfield Ln?? I’m planning on seeing it today but I know absolutely nothing about it haha.

Also happy birthday HRG Mama!

Reply

Yes, I need to know too! We’re going to see it tonight, why was it so bad??

Reply

I saw it last week. I actually enjoyed most of it but the end… I should have expected as much, but the last 20-30 minutes were like a completely different movie and not in a genre that I enjoy. It’s impossible to really say more without gigantic spoilers so forgive me for being so vague.

Reply

That was my exact issue Mary! I think I would have liked it if I left before the last 30 minutes but yeah… it just went in a direction I couldn’t handle. I have friends that have loved it though too but also, maybe I just scared way too easy!

Reply

My son and his girlfriend saw it the night before last and said the SAME THING. Terrible ending! Abort!

Reply

Happy Birthday to your mom!

Heading to Virginia Beach today for the Shamrock half tomorrow…it will be rainy and windy tomorrow…aka the best running conditions (not)!

Reply

Happy birthday to your mom! My mom is my BFF also!
Just finished sucking wind for 8 miles and I can’t say it was fun. Big plans today are buying the rest of the decorations for my soon to be 7 year old’s Paris themed tea party and finalizing flight arrangements and hotel with my hubby for the New York marathon! I’m running and he’s my super handsome cheerleader!

Reply

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes! Looks like several of your moms have a birthday today. I do read your comments and so appreciate your support of my daughter. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Reply

Happy birthday!!!!
Love the picture of the two of you.

That plate is funny. I read in a cookbook once, “Count your blessings… not calories” :)

Reply

Happy Birthday Janae’s mom!!!

My husband and I saw 10 Cloverfield Lane last weekend and walked out of the theater completely baffled. I’m still trying to work through the confusion.

Today I am doing a 50-mile bike ride with one of my best friends! Can’t wait to get a little vitamin D action.

Reply

Happy birthday to Janae’s mama!!! I hope she has a wonderful day celebrating with family!!!

I’m working on house projects, mostly trying to organize. It’s the first day of Spring Break, and this looks like the only sunny/dry day, which is so typical for Oregon Spring Breaks!!!

Reply

I saw 10 Cloverfield Lane last weekend and was disappointed by the ending too. There could have been a couple cool ways to end it. but I think they chose the lamest.

Hooray for Moms! <3 Happy Birthday to yours! Have a wonderful time celebrating. :)

Happy birthday to your mom! On tap today: short run (in Missouri where it is spring time and flowers are blooming!), watching basketball, and hanging with my sister’s family and my parents before we head home tomorrow.

Reply

Happy Birthday to your mom!! It was my mum’s birthday yesterday so we’re celebrating today too!

I was up early this morning so made some banana chocolate chip pancakes, then felt guilty so ran an unplanned 4 miles to try to make up for it!

Reply

Happy Birthday to your mom!! Hope all your wishes come true!

Agenda today – Unofficial half marathon this morning (ran 8 miles with my running club and then 5.1 afterwards!) … And then laying around all day because I have the most horrendous pain on the right side of my ribcage. I’m pretty sure I didn’t break anything but feel like I pulled something real bad! Worst!

Happy birthday Janae’s mom! <3

Happy Birthday to your mom!

I was up dark and early for 10 miles this morning, then the boyfriend turned our leftover corned beef into corned beef hash for breakfast/lunch. I have nothing else planned for the day :)

Reply

Happy birthday to your cute mom! I lost my mom 10 years ago and miss her every single day. Its so fun to see the relationship you have with her (it doesn’t make me sad seeing people with their moms- it actually brings me lots of joy!)

PS a midnight run to Target for Easter stuff is absolutely standard around here.

Reply

Happy cake & ice cream day HRG momma! You and your family are incredible people. You brighten my every day…. love you all!

Reply

Happy birthday Janae’s mom!!!

Janae clearly views you as such a loving, accepting, and selfless human being, and you have obviously raised a compassionate, kind and beautiful young woman – so bravo to you!! Wishing you the happiest of days :)

Thank you so much for your blog, Janae. Your honesty and genuinely heartfelt posts have helped me to feel not so alone during difficult times in my life <3

Happy Birthday to your amazing Mom! I hope you have a wonderful day!

We are celebrating Easter tomorrow (my daughter and I are traveling to TX to see my family for Spring Break and won’t be home for Easter), so we are dyeing Easter eggs and making coffee cake. Taking a rest weekend for my sore and tired body to get back on track on Monday.

Reply

Happy birthday to your mom!! That sushi looks delicious too!

Happy Birthday, Janae’s mom! I hope you have a wonderful day!

My plans…..10 screaming girls for egg dying and Easter egg hunt. I must be nuts!

I love that she reads the comments, too!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNGRY RUNNER MAMA! Thank goodness for you mentioning Easter stuff..I did not reliable it’s on the 27th!! Sooner than I thought! I have a 5 mile run to do today!??

Happy birthday to your beautiful mom! I love that you guys are so close. Sounds like she gives the best advice. Only a best friend can do that! Enjoy celebrating all weekend long.

I’m running my first 10km race tonight!!! It’s called the Moonlight Run is Southern Alberta, Canada! Super nervous… send me good vibes please!!

Reply

Happy birthday to you Mom!!!

I ran a 10K and threw down a surprising PR this morning. Now enjoying some Netflix :)

Reply

Aw! Yay! Happy happy birthday HRG Momma! <3

I'm just taking it easy today after completing my first-ever 10k race this morning. LOVED it! I'm not a fan of the 5k distance for races; I don't start feeling "good" until mile 4, so a 5k is just not fun. But, the 10k was crazy fun! Although, I'm hoping I didn't push myself too much because I have 15 miles tomorrow morning… :|

Happy birthday mama HRG!!! :)

You and Brooke are too cute! Today’s a day of catching up on homework and maybe a short run tonight :)

Have a fantastic weekend:)

Happy birthday, HRG momma!!!!

I am going to run my first half tomorrow! I am so nervous because I got a cold half way through my training and was out for THREE weeks. Overall, I was not able to train as well as I would have hoped. However, I have run two 15ks and done pretty well. Also, I am running the Rock ‘n’Roll Half in Dallas which is a HUGE and exciting race. I am sure I am going to have a great time no matter what; especially being with my running friends!

Wish me luck!

Happy Birthday to your mom!!!

As a non-mom I sometimes forget about all the little fun things you moms get to do … like put together an Easter basket! :)

Today I went shopping with my mom in and gots some good deals and then hit the gym for a good weight lifting session!

Reply

Happy birthday Janie’s mom! I love your taco soup recipe! Have a great day!

Reply

Aw, happy birthday to your mom! I hope someday my daughter and I have such a wonderful relationship!
I didn’t realize until yesterday but I have next Friday off. So I convinced my husband that we should drive up to Charlotte (because they have a Nordstrom’s, I’ll just be honest) and AlSO that I should run a race Saturday! So I set out to find something short…the only thing that looked appealing was a trail half marathon. Not so short. Today I tested my fitness with a ten miler and felt pretty dang decent. I might just sign up for the half! Is that crazy? With no real training? ?

Reply

Happy birthday to your mom! I think it is awesome you to live so closely together. You must love that after living far away for a few years. My mom lives in Newfoundland and I live in Nova Scotia and very rarely get to see her on her birthday. I hope you guys have an awesome weekend together!

Reply

Happy birthday to your mum!! Today we are going for a relaxing bike ride after our long runs yesterday then having lunch at a country farmers market (and picking up some yummy treats!) xx

Reply

Happy birthday HRG Mom! It’s my dad’s birthday today also.

Today I ran 9 miles. It was the first run that felt good since I had the flu a couple of weeks ago. I also filed our state and federal taxes, cleaned the house, ran errands, and did laundry. I’m feeling pretty accomplished. :)

Have a great weekend!

Happy birthday HRG Mama! You have to be one of the kindest, most giving, and loving human beings ever. I didn’t grow up with my mom around so when I see beautiful relationships like yours and Janae’s, it warms my heart so much! Have a wonderful day!

I’m hoping to go for a run and…laundry;)

My youngest daughter just started a blog recently and would love comments so therefore I won’t just creep and write today.

Hope your time passes quickly till the Brookers is back from dads house. I unfortunately know the feeling with my grand daughter and see yhe hurt in my daughter in law when she is gone week on week off.

You are so lucky to have a mom so close to you. More like blessed! Have a blessed birthday ‘mom’ and a great year!!!

Happy birthday to your mum!!

You should be so proud of your amazing family I read all about. It completes my day when read about the days adventures. I will have to go and have a cupcake in your honor all the way from Sydney :)

Happy birthday, Mom. We wouldn’t be anything without our moms and I admire the relationship the two of you share and often wish my mom was closer so I could do the same thing with my mother. I hope you truly enjoy your celebration.
God bless you

Your Target is open until 11:30 pm? Mine closes at 9 & I always inevitably need something at 9:15!

Aw, happy birthday to your mom!

My mom’s birthday is this Saturday, and she (and my dad) are coming to see me in Abu Dhabi and arriving on Friday! EEEEEE!!!!! I can’t wait! 8 months without seeing family face to face has not been easy. I can’t wait to see them and celebrate!

Sunday is the first day of the work week here, so I administered tests and reviewed writing tips with my kiddos.

That sushi looks amazing!
