My mom and I whipped up this cake the night before my birthday. We decorated a slice with candles and sprinkles in the morning and all sampled it. (My mom is down with dessert for breakfast always. She’s an inspiration!) And just like that, I’m 31. While so much is great, things can still feel weird right?! Let’s all try to accept our lives for what’s up. Because so much is beautiful and I can…
