I love birthdays, always have. Everyone puts such a stigma on 30 like it's the beginning of the end. Don't get me wrong I feel a slight panic when I say I'm turning 30 this year but the closer it gets the more I am embracing it as a good thing.
My 20's were great...for the most part and I am happy with where I am in life right now. Would I want to be 21 again, or even 25, no! The freedom of college was nice but I like the wisdom I have now. The carefree life before motherhood was fun but nothing beats being a mom. Being single was an adventure but marriage is so much better.
I want to look at 30 as a new journey in my life not a hill I'm about to fall down. What can I learn and do in my next decade?
And although saying 29 does sounds better than 30 I am excite for my celebration and a new chapter!
How did you feel hitting the big milestone or for those who are soon to be 30 somethings how are you handling it?

I loved turning 30! It was kind of like a new chapter of adulthood - for some reason 30 was very ok with me. But 31? that sounds OLD haha! Luckily for me, i don't turn 31 until May :-)
30 didn't bother me one bit ; )(I will be 21 in January)My early 20's were not great in terms of working full time & going to school full time & a wretched boyfriend and ym late 20's were full of surgery & infertility treatments so I welcomed my 30's with open arms ; ) I think 30 is the new 21, minus all the drama & plus some wrinkles and a sweet hubby & little boy, waaaaay better if you ask me! I hope you plan something awesome to celebrate your new chapter!
I'm freaking out. Just a little.
I turned 30 right after Drew was born so that 'milestone' was probably spent nursing all day and in my comfy clothes! Oh and Happy Anniversary!!
I remember when I turned 30, I was ready for the next chapter in my life and celebrated for an entire week! I am 36 now and have LOVED my 30's so much more than my 20's. I married the love of my life at 29, had my first baby boy at 33, and my second baby boy at 34. They are 21 months apart! I am well established in my teaching career and have found a balance in my life teaching at a private school three days a week and staying home with my boys the other two. I cherish my family and know who my true friends are.
Happy Anniversary and thank you for sharing your sweet family with us!
Turning 30 didn't really freak me out either. I am sure that had a lot to do with the fact that I was exactly where I wanted to be in life...married and with my two kiddies. I am happier now than I was in my 20s so to me...30 is the new 20 :-) Happy Early birthday doll!!

I was 8 months pregnant when I turned 30 - so not that much excitment on that end. I gelt pretty good turning 30 though - I was ready to be out out of the 20s.
So remember when I said we were long lost twins?
It's not the same, but close enough... I'm 30 on December 5!!
And I'm trying not to think about it. I feel old. I should be starting Botox... Ha!
I turned 34 last month, and I'm honestly loving this decade. I'm more myself now than I ever have been, and comfortable with it.
It's a good feeling.
