Bits and Pieces


Finally here to post about me, it took me awhile and I apologize about it, but time went by too fast with the race, sick kiddos and with me being sick now, too. Anyways, I turned 33 years old and I am proud of my age, I don't lie about it, every year when my birthday comes it makes me happy, it means I am alive, that I am raising my kids.

So, here are 33 random bits and pieces about me:

30- I love Halloween, I think it's so fun

  1. It still continues to amaze me how much you can learn about a person through activities like this. I knew of some of your random facts, but so many were new to me.

    You know, it's quite impressive that you can wear that beautiful skirt. It means that you've been taking care of yourself and of that skirt!

    Again, Happy Birthday. (I may have to steal this blog idea if I can remember it on my birthday. And if I can think of 36 new things.)
