What’s Your Lobster-Worthy Moment?

This post is sponsored by Red Lobster, but all thoughts, opinions, and #LobsterWorthy moments are my own.

How do you like to celebrate your family’s happy moments….birthdays, good grades, a promotion, etc? I admit – I love celebrating even the smallest achievements with dinner at a favorite restaurant. You don’t have to twist my arm to find an excuse to eat out!

Lobster-worthy celebrations come in all shapes and sizes…and we’ve had a ton of them this month!

My daughter and I decided to celebrate one of those moments – her 13th birthday – with lunch out at Red Lobster. Everything about the day was perfection – from the time we had together, one-on-one, to the sunshine, to the excellent smiling service that we received, to the delicious food that we ate.

Reese, my new 13-year-old, ordered clam chowder (one of my favorites!) and shrimp Caesar salad with a Shirley Temple to drink (her latest obsession!). I ordered the wood-fire grilled shrimp tacos with rice pilaf. We shared a classic shrimp cocktail to start.

And who can forget Red Lobster’s famous cheesy biscuits? Those things are to-die-for delicious! They are a highlight of any meal at Red Lobster, big or small.

No, I’m not sharing these!

A Mom-and-Me Birthday Tradition

When I was little, my mom started a birthday tradition with her kids. Every birthday, she would pick us up from school and take us out to lunch – just the two of us. I loved those mom-daughter dates so much that I decided to continue them with my own children.

Every birthday, I pick my kids up from school, if their birthday lands on a school day, and treat them to a lunch together. Their choice. When their birthday lands on the weekend or a holiday we just escape together whenever we can (my oldest was born on Christmas Eve, so she definitely got the short end of the stick on this tradition!).

No matter how big or small your special moments are, you can make them even better by celebrating them at Red Lobster.

How do you enjoy celebrating your lobster-worthy moments?

7 kids. Hundreds of eggs. Enough chocolate and jelly beans to feed the entire city.

Tons and tons of cousin fun!

We love our annual cousin Easter egg hunt!

Do you do an Easter Egg hunt with your kids? How many eggs do you end up filling?

Decorating Easter Eggs 2014 #WW

Lolli — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 03:17:35 +0000

Despite the fact that not all of the kids are equally enthusiastic about decorating Easter eggs anymore, it’s a tradition that we keep every year.

We had tons of fun…those of us who decorated eggs. And although our eggs aren’t fancy or beautiful like some others I’ve seen, they are a colorful and happy part of Spring….once I’ve dyed some Easter eggs, it’s really, truly Spring!

Do you decorate Easter eggs every year? What do you do with your eggs after they’ve been colored? We stick them right back in the fridge and eat them!

Our first snow day of the year was the perfect time to decorate the traditional gingerbread houses. The kids had so much fun putting their, um, personal touches to their houses…
