Hi wonderful friends!

I celebrated my birthday yesterday 🙂

It’s crazy how some days you wake up and are like wow, I’m 27, married with a child. Dreams really do come true! 

I’ve always been a hopeless romantic.

My life has changed so much In the past couple of years though. My husband and I have always been home bodies but we loved our concerts, trips away for the weekend and going out with friends whenever. 

We still did those things of course once we had bub but the feeling of wanting to stay home became stronger. There’s just something about laying on your own couch with a glass of wine and your fav show that make Friday nights so appealing these days! 

But now the concert we had set for September is cancelled, thankfully our vacation for the year was in January so we still got to do that but it’s just so different. Even celebrating my birthday yesterday has just been so different.

I’ve learned so much In my 27 years. I’ve always had such a big support system growing up and it’s even bigger now that I’ve gotten married and I’m so thankful for all the family and friends that help guide me through this journey of life. 

My biggest lesson and the thing I try to always enforce is “Always be Kind” which it can be such a small gesture but it’s so important. Kindness is everything and I wish more people knew that sometimes! 

There’s a few other things I like to live by as well.

Just because it’s a bad day or a bad week doesn’t mean it’s a bad life. Things are always changing and it can always get better. 

Family comes first. 

A good cup of coffee can soothe the soul.

Put your phone down. The best moments aren’t looking at a screen. It’s what’s behind the screen that matters.

Sometimes you just need to stuff your face with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and watch Sweet Home Alabama. Or at least I do! 

Life goes by so fast, spend it with the people who matter most. 

Your thoughts and opinions are your own, don’t force them on others.

Love yourself, flaws and all.

There’s so much else I have learned over the years but for right now those are the most important to me. 

With everything that’s happening it’s just the simple things that matter the most to me and just trying to be the best wife and mother I can be for my boys!

I did have a fantastic birthday though! Majority of the day was spent with my bub and he just fills my heart up with pure joy. 

My hubby always makes me feel special

With his gestures and his kind words. 

I am just a lucky lady, so cheers to 27!
