Thirty & looking good

by

I’m beginning to believe that I’m actually a toddler who will never truly grow up. I’m planning to be immature and goofy and AWESOME forever. Maybe that’s why turning thirty doesn’t bother me.

Because the next decade is OBVIOUSLY going to be epic. Duh. And duh.

And true to my inner toddler form, I made myself a shirt with “thirty and looking good” on it. I think it’s hilarious. Killing myself.

Now I may have to take a picture of me in my high chair with a smash cake. Because I had BETTER get a smash cake. Or you will see a temper tantrum of epic proportions.

On a serious note, these 30 years have treated me well. I have won the jackpot in the husband, kid, house, job, family and friends departments.

I have no plans to list out my 30 best moments, or the 3o things I’ll do before I’m 31, or 30 things I’ve learned. Because that sounds like work. And I mostly just want to eat cake today.

(Carrot cake, please.)

Instead, I’ll just open up of the floor for you to wish me a happy birthday. Or tell me the 30 things you love best about me. Or send flowers.

Is that too much to ask?

  4. haha happiest of birthdays to you, toddler…your hair is adorable on you, by the way; do you let your mommy brush it for you? 😉 (Not that it doesn’t look brushed. It looks 100% brushed. Just continuing the toddler theme, you know. Anyway.)

  7. Happy Birthday, Kim! When Laura and I turned 30, we were inspired by 13 Going on 30 to be 30, Flirty, and Thriving. I think it was good inspiration, because the last 7 years have been great.

    Love the shirt!

  9. Yay! Happy birthday! I turn 30.5 in 5 days, because apparently 30 is not too old to still track your half birthdays. So I can say with an expert opinion that the first 6 months of 30 are pretty great. We’ll see how the second 6 months go. 🙂 Love your shirt!

  13. Never too much to ask! HBD, Kim! May you feel loved, celebrated & full of joy this day and year. Enjoy!!!

  16. Kim, you are hilarious! I adore you. You really make 30 look good. I need to see a photo with you and your smash cake, yes I think that would make my day. My husband is turning 30 this year and we are both hyperventilating just at the thought. You are so cool about it, I need to take some tips from you. Happy Birthday gorgeous! XO

  18. Happy birthday, Kim! I hope you have a wonderful day (that’s filled with cake and other delicious baked goods)!

  20. Happy Birthday!!! Welcome to your 30’s- it’s pretty great. Way better than the 20’s. And can you please get a smash cake and then take pics? That would be AWESOME. 🙂

  27. i love it!!!!! happy birthday!!!!!
    i need one that says one of the following:
    older than you think
    objects in shirt are older than they appear

  31. Happy birthday Kim! Enjoy your day and lots of carrot cake! Love your blog, getting to know about your family, and your humor. Thanks too, for inspiring me to be more creative.
