Today I’m sharing my birthday wishes on my 29th birthday and first birthday as a Mom. I can’t believe it’s my last year in my 20s!
Today is the first day of my last year in my twenties. I don’t know if I should be sad… or happy to celebrate my 29th year of life!
Let’s be positive today and CELEBRATE the good times.
This past year – my 28th year– has been quite spectacular. I don’t know if anything will ever top it.
“Why was your year so wonderful?” you may ask.
Well my friends…I became a Mom. And being a Mom is honestly… why I think I was put on this Earth. Becoming a Mother has been the most amazing thing to ever happen in my life (so far) aside from marrying B…since not only did he help make our sweet little Annabelle, but he also holds the other half of my heart.
I’ve been happier in my 28th year than I can ever remember being in the past. I was able to spend 7 months at home with Annabelle after she was born, and then I started an incredible job teaching first grade at a school for gifted students.
The children are so amazing and full of life – that instead of draining me every day – they fill me with energy! When I get home in the evenings, I am able to play and laugh with my fantastic little family. Every day I am more and more grateful to be alive. I hope this feeling never ends…
So here’s to 29. A year that I hope tops 28 … and if it doesn’t, well that’s okay because I am sure it will at least tie it.

Happy Birthday! You and I are in the same boat. I am 28 and will be 29 this November. I also became a mother at 28 and I feel like this role is one I was always meant to play. There is nothing better in this world than being my little loves mother. I hope your 29th year is more amazing than your 28th.
