I have been soo busy

I have not been blogging much at all. I am sorry. I have been soo busy being a mom and turning 40... Turning 40 is alot of work.... lots of people want to celebrate you getting older... lots of lunches, dinners, parties.. etc...
It has been a fabulous change of decade for me... I feel the same at 40 then I did at 39, but let me tell you, changing decade is a pretty scary thought!
It makes it easier that I am surrounded with a loving husband and children, fabulous parents, a super duper brother and sister in law, the bestest (I KNOW it is not a word) niece in the world... AND most of all I HAVE AWESOME AWESOME FRIENDS!
They all made turning 40 a REALLY AMAZING experience.... Here are a few pictures from the last few days...






The following Two photos were taken yesterday in Santa Barbara. I met my friend and fellow blogger, Expat Traveler! We had a wonderful day together (with her hubby) in gorgeous Santa Barbara..

“Forty isn't old, if you're a tree”

Today I turn 40! I was born in a little town called La Chaud De Fonds, Switzerland.. in the French mountains! My parents named me Sabine...a common name there...

Makes me want to get up and dance
