Birthday in Mazatlan

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is to celebrate.”

Hola! 

I hope you’ve had a great couple of weeks 🙂

On Feb 23rd, I celebrated my 56th birthday in Mazatlan, Mexico with my friends, Debbra & Aldo, at their gorgeous recently renovated villa!!

WOW!

“Casa Lorraina” (named in memory of Debbra’s mom) is a true labour of love that took three years to come to fruition…and I am super grateful to have stayed there! They will be renting it out for some periods of the year, so if you would like the link to the rental listing, just let me know.

Here are a few snaps of our Mazatlan birthday madness:

Me in my happy place…a Pisces to the core 🙂

 

Another dear friend & birthday gal, Amber, was also in Mazatlan!

 

Another labour of love was this cake! Made by a local baker…YUM!!

There were four birthdays being celebrated…my nickname is Sunshine!

So fun!! So blessed! So grateful 🙂

  1. I am so happy you had such a lovely time on your birthday! I missed your special day due to a couple of major losses and John having eye surgery. I miss you and hope to connect with you soon.
    Love Colleen

  2. FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS 🥳🥂🍾
    Happy belated birthday! I hope whatever you wished for comes true this next year. The photos look amazing. 😍 😁

  3. Ahahahahaha…thanks Tonia! I look a little rough in some of the photos…like the one with the crown on my head! I had just got off the plane & got through customs in Mexico…and was so surprised to see my friends (and their dog, Bam Bam) with all the birthday balloons etc at the airport!!
    Hope you are well,
    Maryanne
