Happy Birthday to Me!

I'm 31 today. Shortly after my 29th birthday I posted a list of things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 30 . I didn't write a follow up last year because I wasn't ready to reveal that I was pregnant, but I think it's pretty amazing what's happened in my life since 2013. 29-year-old me could never have guessed that today I'd be living with my amazing husband and adorable son in our house in the Yukon .

As for #3, well, it's very unlikely this year (sorry folks). The rest of the list (somewhat less daunting tasks) 4. Look my best in a bikini at Burning Man (ie lose 15lbs and get in shape) 5. Visit the Maritimes 6. Run on stilts 7. H...
