A Girl Can Dream

One week from today I will turn THIRTY FOUR. Which is really a pretty blah birthday when you think about it. But I'm a Birthday kinda girl. I love them. I think it's fabulous everyone has their OWN special day in the sun to shine and indulge and play and enjoy LIFE and we should honor that.

So I am working on a way to celebrate my turning another year older that will be FUN for more than just me. Next Wednesday I will announce:

I hope you are as excited about it as me! And I hope you come back next Wednesday to find out how you can make one of my biggest wishes come true and help some awesome kids in the process.

For now, I've come up with 34 (more selfish) wants, wishes, dreams, for sure I want that's! of mine as a way to get myself in the Birthday mood. Just in case you were wondering...

1. To awake to 5 Burnses in our bed and all the laughter, hugs, kisses, and "I'm squished!" that ensue.
2. New running clothes, I really need some new tanks!
3. A new water belt - so Matt and I can stop sharing.
4. Flowers for my garden - as much lavender and foxgloves as possible
5. Miley to come back to Twitter
6. THIS dress, size 6 please

 

7. A long, fun, meaningless conversation with my sister.
8. A lifetime supply of Pineapple Tart fro-yo
9. A Kiwi tree - so I can forever top my lifetime supply of fro-yo
