Today’s my birthday. I’m turning the big 28! So to celebrate I wanted to highlight some of my most favorite posts from Weightless and other fantastic blogs.

Also, I wanted to thank you guys so much for reading, for leaving such thoughtful comments and for coming back day after day. I love writing posts for Weightless. I’ve learned and am learning sooo much. I greatly appreciate all your support and I’m so thankful to be able to write this blog.

(BTW, the above photo was taken on my 26th B-day with my mom and dad.)

So, without further ado and in no particular order, here are 15 of my fave posts from Weightless and 14 from other blogs (that’s one for good measure!). It’s a Russian tradition that we light and blow out an additional candle to symbolize another year. I really hope you like the round-up!
