39

Today is my 39th birthday!

I’m so old, I remember when Netflix came in the mail.

I’m so old, I remember when Laffy Taffy were square.

I’m so old, I remember printing pages upon pages of MapQuest directions when traveling to a new place.

That little scrolly thing to pick the year I was born is gettin’ kinda far.

This is my last year in my 30s.

And it just keeps getting better.

I feel like I’m finally staring to find myself again after becoming a mom. My kids are at such fun ages (10 & 7, highly recommend). These are the good ol’ days.

If you know me at all, you know I love birthdays. I celebrate big. Because my birthday is the last day of the month, I take full advantage of celebrating my entire birth month. And then my birth week. And then my birthday … and it usually spills over to the few days afterward, of course. This year the celebrations will be filled with shopping, cookies and fall temps … all my favorite things.

Here’s to another trip around the sun!
