I'm in my prime

or so they say...
I've read some articles recently about turning 30. And according to "they" this is suppose to be the best time of your life. Don't get me wrong, your 20's are full of fun - and trust me i had plenty of fun - especially in those early 20's...that's a whole other post though! By the time you're 30 you really "know who you are". Like a friend of mine recently said..."people will finally take me seriously now that I'm 30". Well, I highly doubt that - but we'll give it a shot! I do agree that this is a pretty cool time of my life. I have 3 beautiful children (obviously), an amazing, hard working, bought-me-diamonds-for-my-birthday husband and tons of great friends and family around me. I know where I am at in life, although i don't always know where my children are (Gabriella is constantly sneaking off to the bathroom now to rip up rolls of toilet paper - gross). I know that being a mom to my children is not only where I WANT to be, it is where I SHOULD be. I'm teaching them everything I can, although manners isn't Ahslyn's best subject, Austin however can name all the dinosaurs that ever roamed the earth and Gabriella is currently conquering walking. I love staying at home with my kiddos - except on the days when they don't nap. So, i suppose turning 30 isn't so bad, except that I can no longer tease my "old" friends who are already in their 30's because I have now joined them. What am I going to do now that I'm 30 you ask? Well, I think I'm going to potty train Ashlyn...after all, I'm 30 now - she'll take me seriously, right?
Hope you are having the time of your life!

I'm so happy for you that you are excited with what you see when you take a minute to reflect on where you are. That's a priceless feeling. So cool that you're in that place.

This post was really fun to read - so well written, I didn't want it to end. Thanks for sharing.
