My favorite color is glitter.
I'm the mother of three boys,
wife of my favorite person to laugh with.
Life is too short to fill your heart with hate,
so this tumblr is full of things I love.
#DisneyBounding!! We went as #Groot, #Drax, #Rocket, #Thor, #Loki, and #ScarletWitch! I liked our ensembles. Disneybounding is fun, even if it’s surprisingly chilly and everyone has to buy a hoodie immediately. 😆 #MarvelDisneybound #CasualCosplay

Lots more pictures to come (soon, I swear), but this is a sampler of my birthday, driving up from the Keys to my folks’ house in NSB. I’d never seen their house! We had a lovely lunch at a place in Jupiter I’d researched and found, called Dive Bar Restaurant, at just past the halfway point of our drive. Then we had a nice, calm evening, ending with ice cream cake and the Halloween episode of the Great British Baking Show. There are new wild things to add to our list of nonsense (like our fridge at home dying while we’re away), but my birthday was a good day with my folks, my husband, my kiddos, and a surprise Hillary who was dog sitting for my folks during the wedding! I got a light up Birthday Girl banner, really lovely gifts, and felt loved. Thank you to everyone who took time to send me wishes and happy stories today. Love you all. Here’s to 40!

Oh hey. As of this post, it’ll be my birthday in 50 minutes (I hope to be sleeping). It’s been a DOOZY getting through the last week of my thirties. It’s been a true test. And I think I passed. I’m ready for my forties. I don’t dread it. I don’t call myself “so old” for turning 40. I feel like it’s a rite of passage. I made it here. Sometimes clumsily, sometimes luckily, sometimes confidently, and sometimes with help. I’m happy to turn 40. And I humbly ask that if you’ve read all this, please tell me about a time I made you happy, or something about me that makes you feel happy. 💜🧡🖤💜🧡🖤 #TaraSchileTurns40

This was my 30th birthday (2012). We hosted an Enchantment Under the Sea Dance at DFBRLTR (an artists’ venue) and I made a DeLorean dress. I made a playlist of 1950’s songs, included Jonny B. Goode, and we danced the night away. I loved this party so much, and I think of it often. #TaraSchileTurns40 #DeLorean #BTTF #enchantmentUndertheSea

Some of you may know about my “collection.” I started collecting Ferris wheel rides in big cities in 2008 with the London Eye. It’s such a cool way to see a place! I’ve now also ridden the Niagara Falls Sky Wheel, the Las Vegas High Roller, the Santa Monica Pier Ferris wheel, the Navy Pier Ferris wheel, and the St. Louis Union Station Wheel! I love my little collection and I love sharing it with people I love! Maybe I can find one in the Keys next week! #TaraSchileTurns40 #FerrisWheels #FerrisWheelCollection

I saw “Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar” today and it was SO funny. So today’s picture is for them, and for Florida, and for laughs. #TaraSchileTurns40

All right, I’ve chosen these pictures today because this costume is about to have a new life with someone else: my son. I’m remaking it to fit Harrison for Halloween this year. He wants to be a Force Ghost. And since I don’t wear it often, altering an existing costume I made is way less work than making a new one! But this served me well. #TaraSchileTurns40 #HomemadeCostume #JediCostume

Ohhhhh I stayed up too late finishing this wonderful book. This first picture is the moment after I finished it. The second is this morning, still thinking about how it all ended. Dear @veschwab, you are a wonderful author. This was a triumph. And perfect for Halloween season. #HalloweenRead #BooksForHalloween #GreatBook #VESchwab #Gallant #EverythingCastsAShadow #TaraSchileTurns40

Today’s picture is a nod to my inner demon. The one who tells me people don’t care about pictures that don’t have Ryan or the kids in them—pictures of me are boring and selfish. The one who tells me I should be embarrassed for making a big deal about my own birthday. Our inner demons are mean. They’re bullies. And screw ‘em. I’m here, celebrating this path to 40. Even if it’s a fight. #TaraSchileTurns40 #InnerDemons

You know what’s wild? Spending different chapters of your life in different places or with different people and realizing some people don’t know certain versions of you. Some of my closest friends have never heard me sing or seen me onstage, but other people in my life know how much I loved those things and did them all the time. Just weird how life changes. It’s all a journey. Here’s to the next time I’m able to perform again. It’ll probably blow my kids’ minds. 😆 #TaraSchileTurns40
