It's my birthday today, 29 years young! After the whole 'ten year challenge' thing across social media recently, it really got me thinking. About how my life was then, who I've become now and what I have achieved. 10 years ago I was a completely different person, a reckless person. A person who lived only for myself and although it was fun at the time, I was really selfish and silly. 

My life has completely changed now. I met my husband, we had our first little one, then along came cutie #2 shortly after. We found a stable home, we got engaged, then married. I started working harder on the blog and decided that is what I what to do, I wanted it to be a part of my life from then on. Then along came cutie #3.
3 kids, 2 cats, one husband and a really happy life. I feel like I've got my act together and I know where my life is going now - after 29 years!

So I wanted to share a little celebratory birthday post today, 29 things I've learnt in 29 years!
