It's an interesting year because it marks 10 years since I graduated college and 10 years since I met my husband. Back when I was 22 I had a master plan which definitely didn't include getting married before 30... which just makes me laugh.
This will also be a year of transitions. My little man will go off to full day kindergarten in the fall. I also plan to send my baby girl to preschool two mornings a week next year. This means I will be child free for 6 hours during the week, something that I find very bittersweet but am secretly very much looking forward to.
In the next year or so, my house should also become a diaper free zone and Audrey will move to a big girl bed. I have a hard time imagining a world without diapers, cribs and nap time.
In the last 5.5 years, I've been pregnant twice, nursed two babies for a year each and devoted most of myself to being a mom. I wouldn't want it any other way, but I am looking forward to having a bit more time to follow my own passions. And going to the bathroom by myself, I definitely miss that.
I think 32 is going to be a fun year. There are so many changes occurring and my kiddos are at such fun ages.
Have a wonderful day!

Happy birthday, Kim! Sounds like this year is going to be filled with awesome changes for you!
Happy birthday :) That's a sweet card but it still doesn't make me want kids of my own.

You are just a baby. I turned 60 last September. :)
Happy Birthday! I think this year will be the best yet for you!
Happy birthday, Kim!
I read your words and they sound very full of contentment and peace; that's such a great place to be. I, too, love my 30s.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of your found time and passions.

Happy Birthday to you!! I remember 32......it was a long time ago
What a sweet card! And I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Hearing you talk about all this makes me excited for my own next few years to come!
Love the card! Kid cards are the best, aren't they? And happy birthday!!! I think it is great to have a lot of this "out of the way" while you are still so young. I didn't even have my son until I was 37!!! I envy you in a lot of ways! And I've found we never really know what life will bring us .. but it is fun to find out.
Happy Birthday Kim. What a cute card from your kiddo... loads of wonderful changes in the next year huh! Having more time for yourself is great and even though, as mothers, we might miss a few things after our kids grow up.. like spontaneous cuddles and kisses, it is still wonderful being a part of their growth at every stage.
Happy Birthday!!!! It seems like you were just pregnant, and yet it's time for the little one to go to preschool next year? Unbelievable.
Happy Birthday!omg....32 your so young! Lots of changes this year....all for the good...yup 32 is going to be a good year for you! PS My dog follows me into the bathroom...my years of bathroom alone was short lived!

Happy birthday. Cards from our kids are the best, aren't they?
I definitely feel like I'm enjoying life more now in my 30's than I did in my 20's.
And I have an award for you.
