I’m a little late to wishing you a happy birthday, but I loved this post! It’s been a while since I’ve had diaper-wearing kids, so I might have lost the skill of using a max of two wipes 😆 Also, learning how to tell a friend they hurt your feelings could be a whole sermon. And may the odds be ever in your favor with the sourdough—I’m still overwhelmed when I just READ about how to make sourdough bread. Happy (belated) birthday, Stacy!

Happy birthday! Love reading this Stacy! Especially the sourdough note - i’ll tell you that making sourdough here is much harder than in the close to sea-level terrain of the south... the humidity maybe helps!? I don’t know, but I have almost given up on it in Montana haha! I turned 29 in July so I am a decade behind you in a lot of these areas, but makes me hopeful of my becoming - by God’s grace :)

So you’re telling me it’s not my fault? 😆 I made a loaf in January and it was just really dense. I haven’t tried since then. And thank you for the birthday wishes! My sister-in-law and I were just joking today that we didn’t appreciate being 29 when we were. 🤣

Happy birthday! YES to the infusion of audiobooks and podcasts in our 30s! I’m one year behind you-I turn 38 on Thursday :) You are inspiring me to reflect!
