Today is my birthday and we are celebrating with my all-time favorite cookie bars, Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookie Bars. Most people eat cake on their birthday, but I eat cookies. I wouldn’t turn down a piece of birthday cake, but I always prefer cookies. These cookie bars have all of my favorite things in one recipe-brown butter, chocolate, hazelnuts, and sea salt. I could easily eat the entire pan by myself…and I just might. It is my birthday and calories don’t count on birthdays…or when you are pregnant. So yeah, I am definitely eating the entire pan. Sorry, I was going to share with you, but you can make your own pan:)
I am 32 years old today! 32!! How did that happen? I love birthdays and I am not afraid of getting older. I actually think life improves with age. So bring it on 32! I am ready for you! Today I am sharing my 32 birthday wishes. Yes, I get 32. It’s my birthday so I get to make up the rules and one wish isn’t enough! I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions, but I am making wishes for my year! My wishes aren’t in any particular order, I just hope they all come true:) They are a mixture of wishes, wants, goals, and desires!
Health
Happiness
More patience.
A healthy baby…preferably a boy! 🙂
Monthly dates with my husband.
Write letters to loved ones, letters not emails. Good old snail mail!
A trip to Hawaii.
Lots of laughter.
Tune into family and tune out social media (not completely, I just need to be better).
Meet Tim Riggings (Taylor Kitsch) 🙂
Write in my journal on a regular basis.
Have regular dance parties in the kitchen with Josh and Caleb. Caleb has sweet moves:)
Keep exercising…even when I am 9 months pregnant. Any exercise is better than no exercise!
Eat more cookies:)
Read a book every month.
Cook for fun! I cook A LOT for the blog, but I want to cook just for fun. I don’t want to take pictures of everything we eat.
A pair of Tieks 🙂
Sleep more. Hmmm…this one will be interesting with a new baby on the way:)
Say I love you more.
Read a bedtime story to Caleb every night…even if I am tired:)
Be more spontaneous.
Master my dad’s cinnamon rolls.
Entertain more often…and not stress about it:)
Go hiking with my family…when the snow melts.
Make homemade bread every week…or at least every other week!
Enjoy the little things in life.
Wear red lipstick.
Give thanks daily.
Be a better listener.
Do some canning this summer.
Print more pictures. I take a lot of pictures, but I am horrible about printing them for books and frames.
Take one day at a time and enjoy the journey! I am looking forward to being 32! I have a feeling it’s going to be a GREAT year! It is already off to a fabulous start…you can’t go wrong with starting 32 with a pan of Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookie Bars! They are the best way to celebrate!
