It’s been real and it’s been fun (maybe even real fun), but the countdown is drawing to an end. I’ve reached the day (unscarred, I might add). If you missed the first 3 pieces of the countdown to 30 and want to check them out:

Happy Birthday!
When I turned 30, my sister said to me, “You know all of those women who look like they have it all together? They’ve got the kids, the carpool, everything down to a science. They’re all in their 30s.”
Welcome to the world of those of us who have it all together! (LOL!)
Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing your countdown. It was lots of fun.
