One Mom's Thoughts on Being a Mom at 34

Jan 12, 2019
When working mom Emily Shields turned 34 her Facebook friends wished her well through social media. Shields took the general “thank you for the birthday wishes” post to another level, and we are thanking her now for the comic relief. She included a list of “34 things I care about at age 34” in her thank you message.
As a working mom myself, I can relate to her hilarious list of 34 things. Here are my top five picks from her post, but be sure to check out the full list here.
