It’s Lara’s birthday, y’all! That means it’s time to have a little out-of-the-office dance party in her honor! She’s not only our amazing boss, but an incredible source of inspiration and courage (not to mention one hot mama!). We SW ladies may not all be together today, but we’re sure together in wishing this lady the best birthday yet.

Please join us in wishing her a year full of joy, love and so much happiness. From the bottom of our hearts, we hope you have the best of birthdays, L!

Love,
Marissa, Emily, Nicole and Kristin (and Grace)

From Kristin: Happy Birthday, Lara! I hope this day is full of magic and sparkle and a lot of Gracie giggles. Enjoy this day. I hope you feel wildly loved and celebrated. (And I hope your celebration involves a big slice of red velvet cake!!) I know that this last year has been chock full of some serious amazing and my birthday wish for you is that you experience even bigger amazing for the next 365 days! Sending you big, big birthday hugs! xo, Kristin

From Nicole: Lara, I am so grateful that we’ve gotten to spend more time together this year. From late nights doing layout to picking tomatoes, I’ve learned so much from your wild ideas that come to life in amazing ways. I hope this year brings you so much happiness (and gold foil and chickens)! xo, Nicole

From Emily: Lara, I am so glad you got to celebrate with your family one day early, because I know nothing could make you happier on your birthday! I hope the year to come is filled with amazing #southerndoins and much Southern love. We’re all excited to see where it takes you! xo, Emily

From Marissa: Dear Lara, happy, happy birthday! I hope you know how much you’re loved by all of us, and by God. I hope your day is filled with joy and lots of gold glitter (the kind that stays in your hair for days and reminds you just how much fun you had!). And I hope that every year you can look back and think it was your best year yet! xx, Marissa
