So instead of getting me a present, I'd love it if you could share which Ashley's Green Life video/post is your favorite. As a blogger I can see my stats as to which video/post has the most views or the most comments, but I would love to hear which one is your personal favorite.
Now it can be an older video or a newer one. It can be one of the videos of my girls, one about a green tip, or just a recipe one.
Either way, let me know your favorite and either why it's your favorite or how it's impacted your life.
As a "thank you" for your present, I'm going to take a little trip down memory lane and show you some pictures from my past birthdays. Word of caution, some pictures are pretty grainy/digitalized as I had to take iPhone pictures of old pictures and scrapbook pictures...I'm just amazed I found as many as I did!
No time for the video? Take a walk down memory lane with me here:
 |
| Just born. |
 |
| Turning 2. |
 |
| Turning 3. |
 |
| Turning 4. I love this look on my face...kudos to my mom for making that rockin' Barbie birthday cake! |
 |
| Turning 7. Only I would be this excited about a book called Sky & Earth! |
 |
| Turning 9. In love with my Samantha American Girl Doll and Beethoven 2 Dog It's probably hard to see here but every year when I was younger my mom would make me a birthday shirt to wear with "shirt paint" (back when shirt paint was really cool) and I always loved seeing what cool design she came up with. |
 |
| Turning 11. Enter what I call "boy phase" this is a 3 or so year period of my life where I had short hair (thanks to my own doing because I refused to take care of my long hair) so yeah, my hair was very "boyish." |
 |
| Turning 15. Longer hair is back, yeah! Here I am super excited to get an Applebee's gift certificate, I loved that restaurant back then. |
 |
| Turning 19. Brandon is in the picture now, we had been together for about a year when this was taken. I'm guessing we probably spent this birthday going to see a scary movie, our favorite to watch back then. |
 |
| Turning 21. You can bet I had a pretty low-key 21st compared to most. Complete with a homemade cake and a movie. (The flowers are part of the scrapbook page I took this pic from in case you're wondering.) |
 |
| Turning 22. Here we are a few months before getting married. Back when Brandon had long hair! |
 |
| Turning 23. I remember this one because I think that's a new yoga mat behind me in the big box. |
 |
| Turning 25. Last birthday as a blonde. With my mom this time. Are our cheeks identical or what? ( : |
 |
| Turning 26. About 31 weeks pregnant with Avery. |
 |
| Turning 27. Avery was about 9 months old. |
 |
| Turning 28. Grainy cell phone pic, but I love seeing what Avery looked like. She was about 18 months here. |
 |
| Turning 29 last year with Avery who was almost 3. |
Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see the picture I post tonight of my 30th birthday!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your favorite video/post and for all the support you've given me over the past five years that I've had this blog. I couldn't do it without you guys and I'm so excited for the videos to come this year!
Okay, now I'm off to eat some of my gluten-free, vegan pancake birthday cake!
