My mother would buy me a lemon cake (always, because I liked it)cut it in half, and freeze the remainder. We never saw the remainder, and I suspect my Dad would eat it when no one was looking.<br /><br />I can't remember my 30's...so I must have had one heck of a time!

So I decided to attempt my 40th bday in a big way-find a vintagey restaurant in Manhattan somewhere and do an old hollywood theme. Very me, huh? hehe But I think its so imp to celebrate. I used to do half bdays with my babies when they turned 6M. I would make them half a cake heheeh I know its fun and silly but they can look back one day and see us celebrating them even on their half way mark!!!

It really is a fabulous "out of the blue" reason to celebrate an otherwise seemingly random day (assuming, of course, that your half-birthday didn't fall on another important day, such as Christmas or Easter). I love that your DH grandma discussed half-birthday presents with you. It makes me wonder, looking much further back in time, who was the first person to do anything to observe this day in their lives? (And what did they do to celebrate? We'll likely never know!).<br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend!!!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63582345774162312872014-01-11T07:13:48.222-08:002014-01-11T07:13:48.222-08:00happy half birthday, dear. :) I have never thought...happy half birthday, dear. :) I have never thought about my half birthday, but it seams like a great idea to stop and make a status, I will will do so in May.

I can distantly recall at least a couple of teachers who asked us (in the earliest of grades) when our half-birthdays were, but I don't remember any who went out their way to celebrate their own with the class.

More so than I was to turn 20 even. Yes, it means I'm getting older, but we all are in our own way, and I'm soooo ready to be done with my 20s. They were a roller coaster from the get to and though things have calmed down a bit in the past couple of years (to a certain degree), I'm still keen to move into the next decade of my life, which I hope will ultimately be a much more stable and enjoyable one. <br /><br />Big hugs & oodles of happy weekend wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19629431612950902432014-01-10T16:36:55.957-08:002014-01-10T16:36:55.957-08:00Thank you very much, dear Ann!

You're typically outside way less often, the weather rarely cooperates when you want to take outfit photos, and being cold just sort of craps your mood at times, plus after all the expenses of Christmas, it's not the time of the year when I usually add a lot to my wardrobe. Come the first signs of spring though, the gloves are off (literally, if we're talking snow gloves! :)) and once yard sale season kicks in, I'm eager as ever to start stocking my wardrobe with new (old) summer pieces once more.<br /><br />Big hugs & tons of happy weekend wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-54413048517506768092014-01-10T16:18:06.032-08:002014-01-10T16:18:06.032-08:00Thank you very much, dear Hayley!
