I don't know about you, but I have definitely taken notice of how different it is to have a birthday being an adult as opposed to when I was young! I don't even mean it in a bad way...it's just, different. Birthdays when I was young meant looking forward to my family and friends coming to my house and being so excited to see what gifts I would get, or looking forward to being in the DOUBLE digits!!! I still look forward to my birthdays, and still look forward to having some cake (although I may have to make one myself, haha) and even get to have a party with friends this year, but birthdays for me are now a time of reflection as well. Remembering my most memorable birthday, thinking how years ago the age 24 sounded forever and ever away, looking back on all that has changed through the years! This year, the craziest thing to me thus far in my life is that I never dreamed I would be hearing "Happy Birthday Mommy" from my own little girl upon turning 24. I love the added joy she and my love bring to my birthday, I couldn't ask for anything better!

I really have nothing else to say today, except that my heart is brimming with happiness. This past year was one of the most tumultous of my life, with some of the worst times and some of the best. But I am happy to say my heart is at peace and so is my spirit.

Switching topics...I have been looking a lot at spring fashion...and I am LOOOVING what I am seeing to say the least!!! I am still on the prowl for a birthday dress, my taste just isn't conventional :) But a brand I love... Free People, posted a blog today about their New Romantics line they are launching and it is going to be suuuuuper!!! I will link the vid here, it is such a happy little video :) The description of that line and I quote- "New Romantics grew from the love of the ocean. The beach dream and the summer feeling. The muse is a romantic...drenched in the sea, salt, and sand. The collection is made up of dreamy fabrics- slubby textures, light crochet, and intricate wovens mixed in with uber sheerness- delicate and whimsical." I am in love already! I feel like I am coming alive with spring right around the corner :D
