2nd Anniversary of My 29th Birthday Wish List

How’s that for a blog post title? Next week I’m celebrating the 2nd anniversary of me turning 29…aka, my 31st birthday. Yikes. 
So I did what any turning-29-for-the-3rd-time-girl would do. Made a birthday wish list using my favorite “want, need, wear, and read” categories. Too bad my husband didn’t like ANY of my wish list ideas. He didn’t think their were “fun” enough. What’s more fun than a Kendra Scott necklace? Maybe a trip to Hawaii, but that’s about it. 

birthday wish list

I totally am in love with all things Kendra Scott and have my eye on this necklace and these earrings. I have these earrings in green and I get compliments every time I wear them! I also love me some Kate Spade studs too but can’t decide which color I like best.

As for my “need” I really need a new wallet. I might treat myself to one of these bad boys since I have a Macy’s gift card burning a hole in my old ratty wallet as we speak. I like this mint one, LOVE this Michael Kors one but hate the price, and think this Nine West one is fun too (p.s. it’s on super sale!).

In the “wear” category, I would love a fitbit and these Converse Chuck Taylors….which I totally used to have in high school…wish I kept them!

I recently started reading for fun again and realized I miss it so much! I would love a Kindle to keep my reading going strong!

So what else should I wish for? And, let’s just say you will want to make sure you come back here on my birthday, July 14th….because I have something amazing planned….I promise you that you don’t want to miss it!

    I have those Kendra Scott earrings in mint, and LOVE them! Would love a turquoise pair too:) I think you should go for the yellow studs. I have them, and surprisingly, they go with way more than you would think. I adore them – especially for summer! Can't wait to celebrate your birthday, and hear what you have planned!:)

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
