June 10, 2020 by thiscoolmom 1 Comment

In the last few years, I have dreaded turning 40.  Knowing so many amazing, confident women who are already in the club, I am not quite sure what had me so upset about this number.  Maybe it's because I still think of myself as being in my late twenties.  People always say that it's not how old you are, it's how old you feel.  Well...is it normal to always feel 28?

Thanks for visiting my blog, which is a work in progress. I'm a (cool) mom & wife with a full time job, trying to balance it all. My interests include Pinot Grigio, Netflix, blogging, fashion, the treadmill & reading celeb gossip when I am not busy packing lunches & wiping butts. Cheers!
