A Toast to 40 in Tuscany

Okay, so listen—I’d never rented a villa before. But turning forty felt big. And instead of throwing a party at home, I thought... Why not do something a little extra? Tuscany kind of extra.

We filled the place with my favorite people—friends, family, the whole crew. There was wine (so much wine), homemade pasta, pool floaties, and laughing until we cried. I even danced around holding a giant zero balloon. No regrets.

Every day was easy and beautiful—late breakfasts, long dinners, impromptu dance parties, and that golden Italian sunlight that makes everything feel magical.

It was fun. It was full. And honestly? It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

If you’re looking for a sign to celebrate something big—this is it.
