Forty came and went. And before she arrived, I wrote out 40 things I’d like to accomplish this year before the next birthday in August.
Here is the post I wrote back in June and where I stand on some of the items. I’ll keep you posted.
Enjoy!

Wooosah.
In about two months, I turn the big 4-0. How did that happen? I feel like I was just 25 and now I’ve been married for almost 11 years with three kids. And . . . this California girl is living in Atlanta.
So what does 40 mean? Do you cry? Eat? Or have a mid-life crisis? Well, I plan to eat and see whatever else falls into my lap. One of my friends @momsdestiny suggested I complete 40 things to commemorate the year; sure and I’ll send her the bill later.
But it did get me thinking. What would you do if you could complete 40 things of your choice in a year? Here is my long list and maybe –just maybe–I’ll make it through ALL of them. Hopefully my husband is taking notes #teehee
- Visit Italy with the hubby
- Horseback riding on a beautiful beach
