Happy Birthday!
I was four when my mom turned 24. And my little brother was two. You have fun and awesome times ahead of you.

Happy Birthday, you beautiful mama, you.
Bullshit, Maria! You accomplished many great things in this year. You spoke at a major conference, you freed yourself from a bad relationship, and you continued your journey to raise bright, thoughtful, compassionate young girls. And hey, you met me. Can’t be all bad, right?
Happy birthday, IM! Love you.
The latest from April…A Few Lessons Learned
I love you and I love that picture of Goobie. But seriously, you’ve only just begun and when you’re ready you’ll do great great things. You’re smart and oh so talented, I see it. I’m not like everyone else, I don’t say shit just to make people feel good, ever. So no you’re not a failure or a whale, stop doing that. Stop putting yourself down, dammit I’ll punch you. Make yourself a promise an achievable goal. And then do it and don’t let anything stop you, period.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Having just found your site after meeting you at BlogHer, I think you’re really unfair to yourself… or at least much to hard on yourself.
Besides, I’ve been told it takes at least 2 years to save the world. ;)
The latest from Mandy…You Know You Should Call It a Day When…
Here’s to a new year, Maria! I think you are phenomenal, and you never fail to make me smile, cry, or think – often at the same time.
xoxox
The latest from Jenny…No Lack of Enthusiasm
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
The latest from VDog…More (Cuteness) Than A Mother Can Take
Happy Birthday Maria! We just celebrated one of my son’s b-day’s on Saturday and Babygirl’s is tomorrow.
Remember this: Just because your are not where you would like to be in your life or doing all that you’d like to be doing right now, doesn’t mean that you aren’t where you’re supposed to be in your life right now. You are still young (I’m 31) and I know how you feel, I was there long, long, long, ago…
Considering this was my first year of blogging and you made it all the more fun, I’d say that at least for me, you accomplished a hell of a whole lot! Happy birthday crazy girl!
The latest from BusyDad…Like Studio 54 for Tots
i consider every DAY that i don’t run screaming into the night a success, much less an entire YEAR. way to rock. and thanks for stopping by!
The latest from tifRN…a difficult decision
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, M. Many happy returns! You may not feel like you’ve done much, but look where you are so far in your life. Two days after I turned 25 was when I moved to the States ‘for 6 months’. You’ve done loads more than I did already to that point. I hope this new year being you health and happiness.
