Guess who is turning 50! I can’t believe how fast the years have zoomed past. Funny, I don’t feel like I should be half a century old, but according to my driver’s license, which I now have to read with glasses on.

One thing my mom used to do when she made our birthday cakes was to wrap coins in foil and put them in the cake. Each slice had a treasure. Sometimes it was a nickel or a dime..but if you were lucky you got the quarters. It was the anticipation that made it special more than the change. Isn’t that like life!

I am 50, a big birthday and I can’t wait to see what the next slice of life holds.

In honor of my birthday I made a super cute sassy flounce apron for me and one to give away. If you would like to win this adorable apron just leave a not in the comment section below and at the end of the month, on January 31,  I will have a drawing to see who the lucky person is.

For an added treat, sign up to follow my blog and I will send you the recipe for this amazing apple strudel pie!

What is your favorite birthday treat?
