Today is my 40th birthday.
Forty! I'm planning to spend the day at home with my family – eating great food, boiling maple sap, knitting and sewing, and wondering at what the next forty years might bring.
Forty trips around the sun! Now how did that happen? I swear I'm still 28.
Love,
Rachel
Happiest of bithday wishes to you! (:
Happy birthday!!! Enjoy!!
Me too! 28! What’s up with that? Enjoy your day. Love your 40 things list in the first picture. I might have to swipe that idea for every future birthday I have.
Happy Birthday to you! Wishes for many blessings now and in the years to come. Do you feel grown up yet? I always thought “when I’m 30 then I’ll be and feel grown up.” Ahem…going on 34 and still feel like a baby in this world (even though my own babies aren’t babies anymore). Maybe 40 is the time? Peace and love. Heidi

28? You are older than I am. 🙂 Happy birthday.
Happiest of birthday wishes. Your blog is such a gift to me. I live in the far North of Canada, and it really helps me to feel less isolated. Your writing is so honest and your voice seems kind.
Thank you for your writing and happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!!!! (You are still 28 in my book, and so am I!)
Happy 40th!! Hope that you had a wonderful day!
Enjoy every moment!
Happy 40th! 40 was a great year for me. It was about accepting who I am and not trying to improve so much…embracing myself as well as my children.
Happy 40th Birthday, Rachel! Wishing you all the best.
Well that’s something!
I’m surprised, I thought you were just around 30, or yeah, 28…
Congratulations.
Happy 40th!! Hope you had a wonderful day. Can’t wait ’til I can say “I’m 40!” too.

A wonderful birthday to you Rachel, and may the next forty take your breath away!
Happy Birthday! I hope it was a great one. With all that sewing and family love I’m sure it was.
I just turned 40 too, and am also only 28, I guess that’s just how it works 🙂
lovely!
How kind. Thank you Johanna.
