Let’s not focus on aging… or maybe I will.

favorite things

Things I love:

  • Coffee sipped from a bright, fun mug given by a dear friend
  • Sparkly Converse
  • Wide-legged jeans are BACK
  • The amazing colors of fall

I have spent the first day of my 39th doing a lot of things pertaining to my role as mom… Nothing particularly sparkly. Nothing mind-blowing…

Unless one looks at one’s daily tasks as pieces of a life one has always longed for.

One’s own little family.

I never considered a fun birthday plan would be a day filled with doctor appointments and parent-teacher conferences…

Honestly, these are the little things that remind me of the blessings I have reaped in my 39 years of life so far… children… a marriage… a family

A crazy little family. We go up and down together. I love going up and down with these people.

Today? The first day of my 39th year?

It’s been a good day.

And I had coffee. I had a triple mocha.
