Today is my GOLDEN birthday! For those of you who are unfamiliar with golden birthdays, that means I’m 31 on the 31st of January. I’ve looked forward to my golden birthday since I was a little girl. But it seems anti-climatic this year because the big 3-0 was last year and all I can think about is BABY. But in honor of my 31st (I do love my birthday), I’m sharing 31 things I’ve learned in 31 years!
Surround yourself with people who let you be YOU.
Seize the day.
Attitude is everything
Get the sitter- it’s worth it!
Life is too short to be embarrassed about rocking out in the car
Write thank you notes
Exercise is always worth it
Count your blessings and give back as often as you can
I am a work in progress
Social media is a highlight reel
Treat your body well but let yourself indulge every once in a while
You can never be too kind
Trust your instincts. More likely than not you are right on the mark.
Nothing good happens after midnight.
Mother Nature is unbelievable
Say thank you to your spouse even for expected deeds. It creates positive vibes and energy.
Make time to see your family. They are forever.
Set boundaries.
TRAVEL. Explore. Get out of your comfort zone.
Always schedule time for yourself. We all need ‘ME’ time.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Motherhood is hard, incredible, and the most chaotic & beautiful journey
It is so important to be self aware
Wear sunscreen, drink lots of water, and remember true beauty is on the inside
Snail mail is the best.
In order to have great friends, you must be one
My parents were right about everything
Once a day, reflect on the things you are grateful for.
Be the bigger person
Invest in your sleep. Get the quality bedding and mattress. You are WORTH it!
LAUGH and HAVE FUN! :)
