8 Year Anniversary

January 7, 2015 | family, holidays

Yesterday Bobby and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary! It sneaks up on me every year because it’s right after the holidays. I’m not sure how we got everything all ready to go right after Christmas that year!

Looking back on everything Bobby and I have been through and done in the past eight years, it’s crazy to think that I still see myself as a college kid sometimes, and am quickly brought back to reality when a 19 year old calls me “mam”. We have had our ups and downs, but there is no one else I would rather have spent the past eight years with (over ten including the dating/engagement!)

I think at year 10 we need to do a vow renewal, don’t you? Smile

    Happy Anniversary! (And maybe this should be a good reason to look forward to January after the holidays since January isn’t your favorite month ; )

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.

So went with Simple Modern. 🙌🏼

Their backpack, lunch box, and water bottle combo keeps us both happy: fun colors and styles she loves, and quality this mom can stand behind. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last the full school year (and beyond).

Let kids be kids—but let moms be smart. 😉
