I turn thirty today! Isn’t thirty the new twenty? Or the new ten? I keep hearing those rumors so I am hoping that they are true. Does it help that I feel much younger than I am? Or that I still get carded?
How do I know that I am getting older? Well, I was mortified when I saw someone in our family wearing fishnet stockings at a holiday get together. I actually felt sorry for her… until I discovered that fishnets could be something that was not only fashionable, but was encouraged by fashion experts this year. And yet, I thought these were just for street walkers. I am starting to show my age!
How do I know I am still young? I still indulge in stupid teenage shows like “The Hills” & “Gossip Girls.” I stay up too late playing the Wii and hanging out with my husband. Last but not least, I still feel like I am playing dress-up & house over here even though we have been doing this for years now.
In honor of my special day, I offer you a vintage post from my archives. This is one of our more infamous posts that brings searches in by the hundreds. Here is my link to all of those great birthday freebies that you can score.

Happy Birthday! I’m turning 30 this summer and I’m hoping that means I’m finally an adult (you kow- in the eyes of parents/relatives)! : )
Have a great day…and did you see this garage/craft room today? The ribbons made me think of you:

Happy Birthday! My 30′s have been some of my happiest years! I got married, became a mom and feel very secure with who I am and where I am at. Hope your 30′s are just as great!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You know, I freaked out more when I turned 25. I was actually thrilled to be turning 30 (a year and a half ago). I wouldn’t go back to my 20s again….not that they were bad, but 30 is fab!

Have fun on your special day, youngster!

Happy birthday! I don’t think 30 is old at all. Old enough to be taken more seriously than a 20-something, and old enough to have better car insurance/car rental rates.
Please eat lots of cake.

Happy Birthday! I’ll be turning 30 in June! My husband turns 30 at the end of this month! We’re all getting old!

Happy Birthday, Amy!
I turned 30 long ago… (7 and 1/2 years to be exact)… The 30′s are actually great!
You already have much wisdom and I pray the Lord just continues to bless you abundantly!

Sweetie, I’m 42 and I still feel like I’m playing house! You are only old if you want to be old, no matter what your chronological age may be. Sometimes the body might disagree, but my brain is definitely fighting back! Hope you had a magical day!!

Happy Birthday!! Hope it was a good one.
I enjoyed being thirty — hope you do, too.

Happy Birthday! Keep having a young attitude and you’ll never grow old. My old moment-I no longer like to drive at night! Yes, I’m one of THOSE people now. lol
