All day today is my baby sister’s birthday.
She came just 2 years and 51 weeks after I did and I’m not sure why she didn’t come before me.
I’ve always looked up to her and have wanted to follow her flawless example.
She has always been the stylish one,
made it through high school without developing an attitude,
{she’s probably my parents favorite for that}
and somehow she manages to live in this little fairy tale bubble.
I’m sure life isn’t always perfect, but she makes it through the challenges without breaking a sweat-literally!
She lives in Texas and I walk outside there and become an instant puddle!

She’s hates confrontation and if there was ever a need for it,
the big bad sister came in!
All of my favorite childhood memories include her.
We had a blast being in talent shows together, flower girls at our big brothers weddings, pretending we were princesses, dress up, tea parties, making up neverending Barbie stories, bubble trumpets, cheerleading in high school, sharing everything especially clothes, and being the most devoted sisters.

We’ve always gotten along really well and I’m so grateful for that.
If this makes sense, we couldn’t be more different
{I’m fiesty-She’s passive, I’m fashion challenged-She could be the face of Banana Repulic/J Crew/someone you’d find at a polo tournament, yacht club, or the Kentucky Derby, I’m Mom-She’s Nurse}
BUT
we couldn’t be more alike
{We are family oriented, love reading, getting a good deal, being pampered, supportive of husbands who work long weeks, we like to bake and cook, and we love a good deal}
Mrs. H loves my kids as if they were her own.
I’m not kidding, she sometimes likes to pretend they are hers.
She will walk around the mall with them and take compliments as if they were to her.
I think it is probably great birth control for her!
She is the most amazing friend and I’m so glad all day today gets to be about her!
{just because I love celebrations, don’t be surprised if I turn this into a week long thing}

Happy Birthday Sista Sista!

Happy Monday!
My sister and I are close as well. She is the oldest and has 6 boys. I got great tips from her while raising my own and I think the best advice she gave me was to ‘always pretend you like their friends or new girl/boyfriends. They will eventually part from them’
I found you on Meeting Frinds on Monday hop and I’m now following you on GFC
