All of these dates were so important in history, but as any mom knows... once you have kids, your birthday is just another day in the year. Nothing special happening here and that's okay! I am incredibly blessed to be sitting here in my house with my 3 children and wonderful husband! That's enough for me to have another amazing year! So, Happy Birthday to me... ;-)
