Happy to Me
Today is my 31st so I’m going to take it easy and take a day off. I think I might paint some pottery and mosey around the Upper West Side. Don’t worry, Sarah’s minding the store! Of course, as usual we have our regular contributors who are so great and really make the site what it is today: Shannon, Christina, Nisha, Kirrily, Kristin, Julie, Char, and Ashleigh.
I have had a banner year and therefore have so much to celebrate this year. The best part of course is Anya, who is the light of my life. 8 months after her birth and I still look at my husband and ask, "Can you believe we MADE her?" Not every day is easy but every day is a blessing.
And how could I not thank you, our wonderful readers. Over 50,000 of you now read the site on a daily basis. How amazing is that? It blows my mind to think that around 2 years ago, I was just chugging along on my own, running the site as a hobby, never thinking it could possibly turn into what it has today. As long as you keep reading, I won’t have to go back to working for someone else (for this site is now my full-time job) and what a gift that is! We’ve received fabulous recognition as well. We’ve been in national magazines, local newspapers, television and just Thursday I was recognized on the street by a reader who asked, "Are you that Celebrity Baby lady?"
Click the extended post for the rest of the photos (mostly Anya) and to see which hunky fella appeared on my cake this year (29th was James Marsters aka Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 30th was Gael Garcia Bernal from Y Tu Mama Tambien and The Motorcycle Diaries).
This year’s cake starred Wentworth Miller from Prison Break. As Caletha Crawford, editor-in-chief of Earnshaw’s magazine told me, "[with Wentworth,] you don’t even need the cake!"
He’s 34 years old.
