There are so many reasons to love the month of May...
First of all, it is my birthday month, and I always look forward to having fun on my birthday, which I celebrate a whole week!

| This was my cake from last year...I had so much fun wine tasting with family and friends! |
It also marks birthdays for quite a few of my favorite people; two aunts, one nephew, one niece, three cousins, two brothers-in-law, a best brother-friend, a godson, my beautiful late grandmother, and First Lady Michelle Obama...Whew! What a party that could be...!
My mother's homegoing also occurred in this month; which may be sad to some, but remembering her life and celebrating her gifts and talents through my own endeavors is a wonderful way to pay tribute.
School is almost out, which marks the culmination of a wealth of hard work that has been put in all year for parents, teachers and students.
Recitals are in production all over the community; it is a good time to take in live performances and support community organizations that are dedicated to enriching the lives of young people through the Arts. Many of us got our start on a stage during recital time. Buy a ticket and watch greatness in the making!
The weather is pleasant, and my balcony is ready for time spent reading and sipping tea. And tea parties! How can we forget those!?!
You can get a subscription to Birchbox for 9.99 a month ( I do not get paid to brag about Birchbox, I just love it and want you to love it, too!)...and you get points for reviewing the products and making additional purchases. This month, my add-on purchase was a cool canvas Duck Bag by Baggu. It's roomy enough for all of my summer stash...beach, park, shopping or traveling...I will be in style!
Take a look at my Birchbox opening on my YouTube channel, TheAlvinvision!
