TWENTY-SEVEN.
This is officially the “other side” of my twenties. Well, twenty-six was… and twenty-five probably was too but for some reason I tried to hold on the idea that I wasn’t closer to thirty than twenty. No denying it now. Still a little confused how I’m this old but don’t feel any more like an “adult” though.
I’m hoping that by the time this post goes live I’ll already be outside getting some early morning miles on my bike. Ideally I’ll get twenty-seven miles in today but I might poop out early, and that’s fine too. In previous years I’ve written about how I’m going to do something relaxing but if I’ve learned one thing in all my years it’s that I’m happiest and most satisfied when I’m busy. So I’m going to do my best to make it a full day of bikes, beach, coffee, and food!
Sparklers with my dad, then smoke bombs with both parents. This one with my dad looking down is easily the most flattering of the three of us. Later photos would show us choking. Its incredible how smelly those things are. Probably cut at least six months off my life breathing that stuff in. Happy Birthday though, right?
PS. You should check out my instagram stories for a super cute GIF from this shoot that I wasn’t able to include in this post.
Here’s a peek back at previous year’s birthday outfit posts featuring balloons! 2013, 2014, 2015+ 2016! Some things really never seem to change…

Happy Birthday. I hope it’s filled with all your favorite people and things and if you get that camera report back on it. After my trip I’m seriously looking into something small for travel.

For some reason I really had a hard time with 27 because, as you said, it marked my “late twenties,” closer to 30. But let me tell you, you look GREAT, & it seems like life’s treating you pretty darn well. Wishing you a wonderful year. Happy birthday!
Thanks, Kate! 🙂
Happy Birthday! Love the pics with your parents! I can’t believe you’re 27! Seems like yesterday you were just a kid! I also can’t believe I just turned 61!! Yikes! It sure has been a pleasure watching you come out of your shell. I know your parents are so proud of you. ❤️

Thanks, Amanda! 🙂
I am totally with you on feeling satisfied when I’m most busy – I always think I’ll enjoy a day of lounging around, but I always find myself doing something instead! I hope you had a wonderful Birthday, Kaylah! 🙂
Same!
Thanks, Sian! 🙂
Happy birthday!!! These photos are so cute, especially the one with your parents. I’ll be turning 27 in February, for some reason that seems so much older than 26 to me, haha.
Thanks, Sarah! 🙂
You are sooo pretty!
Thank you! 🙂
