Birthday Girls


With the Watson women having birthdays just four days apart (with Easter and Spring Break being thrown into the mix this year) it was a busy week.


I spent my birthday in LA, walking up before dawn and heading over to the Access Hollywood Live studio where Valerie was filming a segment on Easter entertaining. It was completely fun to see it all come together on live TV after planning and practicing. Val did a great job and it made for a memorable birthday morning and one tired mama come birthday night.






Clara woke up on April 1st a five-year-old. How did that happen? She requested breakfast in bed with mom (love you!) and opened gifts that mainly consisted of sharks, dinosaurs, ninja turtles and cars and a new hairbrush—her request.

She continues to be our tender tomboy, equal parts rough and tough but also thoughtful and sweet. Clara is our old soul, our artist, our cuddle bug, our encourager and our most delighting source of entertainment. It took her a few days to "really feel five" but she has grown into this new number with her usual spunk and grace.

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl.
