It’s official! I turn 35 today. What a milestone birthday.
If I look back to all my birthday celebrations I remember one party in particular. The year I turned 20 (something) I rented out the local skating rink and invited all my friends to come party on the ice for almost 2hrs. Everyone was there, my parents, my sister, my soon to be husband and tons of our friends. We blasted music, raced each other, had an all around good time. It was like a kid party but for an adult. It was perfect.
This year I’m taking it easy. I’m spending the day hanging out with my family and going out to dinner with my husband tonight. My how things have changed.
All week I’ve wanted to celebrate my birthday with you, my readers. I absolutely love blogging and telling you about new products that I think are great. I wanted to thank all my mom readers for following and supporting my blog.
