Jen and Marisa AndersonJen,

You are the hippest, fittest 40 year-old woman I know!!  Seriously, to have the energy you have is remarkable! You completely inspire me as a mom and as a friend!  I will never forget walking into your home to babysit the kids and always smelling something delicious cooking in the kitchen...your home has always felt warm and inviting to me, even that very first day of meeting you and the kids!  Although we don't live as close as we used to, I love that we have kept in touch and I can watch Ruby and Ben grow into the amazing kids that they are!  With that, amazing mother, I hope you have an incredible 40th birthday. 

Love,

Marisa aka Ita xoxo
