Last year I ushered in the
big 3-0 with a party with loads of friends and a
little secret now named PJ. This year, I celebrated my first birthday as a mommy and, while it was totally different, it was just as good.
Instead of a large party, I celebrated with my first post-pregnancy massage; a lingering brunch with my boys; an afternoon at the swimming pool; and finally a home cooked meal (no chili this year), excellent red wine, and a silly romantic comedy. It was quiet, refreshing, and just right.

Of course the calls, text messages, and over 100 birthday wishes on Facebook were a nice touch. Thanks everyone!
