I'm celebrating a bit of a milestone today! Thank you for all of the warm wishes & for making this a day to remember. Today is a special day for me & for a few of those that I love...

Happy BIRTH day to Tate & congratulations to his amazing new parents & two of my best friends, Sara & Dustin. I cannot wait to meet this little nugget :)

Happy ENGAGEMENT to my best of 10 years, JW...soon to be JS. I couldn't be happier for you, JeWo :)

30 before 30

Earlier this week, I stumbled upon what may quite possibly be the best unsolicited advice I have ever "received" from The Huffington Post. This HP article is a reprint & discussion of 30 things every woman should have and know by Glamour magazine. Let me just start by giving Glamour ultimate Kudos for this insightful & inspiring piece & HP some major internet high-fives for putting this on the interwebs. Not only is it true...it's...really true. & honestly it's an article about not being afraid to grow up. It's about finding the happy parts of getting a little older. So, thanks for that Glamour. Love you, back. Ready? Here we go...

WELL, I'm inspired, yet again, even though, yes, I have read this 12 times, made it my desktop background, & framed it in my bathroom. Normal. I can cross off a solid 23 items on this list. Score. I have 6 more years for 7 more life lessons slash semi-reasonable purchases.

[I have already received such amazing feedback from readers about this article. I'm so glad that something like this has such a positive & profound impact on today's woman. For more inspiration check out the book Glamour created from this list.]
