My momma’s birthday always feels like the kick-off for the upcoming celebratory season. Her birthday, September 24th falls the day after the first day of fall- my absolute favorite time of year. Even though it’s usually still unbearably hot in Los Angeles on her birthday I am in full fall mode.
Her lovely friends Mary & Francesca hosted a casual dinner for fourteen of us to celebrate her birthday. I am a fan of celebrating my mom because she is hands down one of my favorite people to walk the earth. She’s full of so much joy, love and laughter. She’s the kind of person you want to be stuck in a room with for hours. She’s just fun.
We feasted on a Moroccan chicken dish, roasted veggies, an arugula salad & a fruit salad while sitting outside in the garden. After dinner we moved into the living room to eat dessert (the most delectable bread pudding I have ever tasted) while watching her open gifts.
It was the kind of evening that left me heart feeling full.
Happy Birthday to my beautiful Momma.

Happy birthday to your Mama! What a lovely tribute and a beautiful evening 🙂
She’s probably the reason why you are so special but SHE is lucky to have such a perfect daughter!
That may be the kindest thing I have ever read. Thank you!!!!
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree! I hope she has a great year.
So sweet, Kate! And looks like it was such a fun gathering. Happy birthday to your Momma!
I can see and feel the radiance that she emits! What a beautiful person you mom is -and it only makes sense, given who you are. Thrilled to share birthday dates with her! xoxo
