Birthday Bundle of #KitchenTools and Special Treats from #Fambam

Growing up, I  don't remember having a cake  or  any birthday party  when we celebrate our birthdays.  I have 8 siblings and just providing for our basic needs is what my parents can afford and it was good enough for all of us.  We managed to have a enjoyable childhood with whatever we had.  We never had fancy toys and yet, we always have fun time everyday playing with each other around the neighborhood.  It was  safe back in the day that our  parents never had to worry about our safety, it's  way different these days.
 However, I am very lucky to enjoy all of the things that I never had  in my younger years now that I am older.  I have an awesome husband and wonderful children who showers me with  great companions and give me plenty  of  hugs and kisses everyday.  The gifts are just the icing on the cake.  What matters to me  is the love.  It's amazing  that when you grow older, your priorities and outlook in life changes.  You value  non-material things such as family and friends.    
 These bouquet of strawberry roses were waiting  in the breakfast table when I got up during my birthday.  My daughter made them and my husband cooked  breakfast for us.  I don't really care for cake on my birthday but they always get me one anyway.  I like this  cake though, I thought it's beautiful!
 Now that I am in the mid-40s, I am trying to embrace the things that I am not fond of like color purple.  The purple icing and candles  are perfect color combo with the pink.
 Aside from  gifts from family and friend, I also received a bundle  of  kitchen tools and gadgets for my kitchen from Ozeri.
 They sent me a set of  this Elite Chef Ceramic 3-Piece Knife Set in black,  the 3-Piece Adjustable Ceramic Knife stand, and the Moderna Artisan Series Wine Glasses.  
The set of 4 insulated borosilicate wine and beverage glasses are awesome  for entertainment this summer time.  Each glass holds 10 oz. of  cold  wine.  The patented double wall design preserves a wine's ideal serving temperature by suspending the wine within an inner chamber.   I think it's brilliant that they designed it to have an  opposing mouth-blown dimples that allow for a natural grip.  They normally  sell for $29.95 but now on sale for $26.36, check it out on amazon.  
 I love their ceramic knife and  stand.  The knives are really awesome in cutting our veggies and fruits.  If you want to  get it, they  are now  on sale for $18.95 via amazon, it's original price is $79.99.  It would be a perfect  gift set for  your love ones who love to cook.  
 What I like about it is the fact that unlike metal knives, these Elite Chef Knives do not corrode, rust or leach metal ions from extended exposure to moisture, oils or acids in common foods.  The stand is also on sale for $9.95 from it's original price of $19.95, check them out on Amazon.
I'd like to  take this opportunity to thank all of you who took time to send me  birthday greetings and  showered me with special gifts.  Thanks to Ozeri for continuously working with me.

I sort of grew up the opposite! I grew up with four siblings but we did birthdays up! Now I have to convince my husband to make a big deal of out them.
We have Ozeri knives and LOVE them.

Happy Birthday! The strawberry bouquet is super cute. I need to try and make that. I'm in desperate need of quality knives. That knife sliced that pineapple with ease.
