Help Jamie Celebrate 50 Years and Finally Get to Ireland!

Jamie's 50th Birthday -- Help Send Her to Ireland!

*** Shhhhh, let's keep this a secret from Jamie :) *** 

Jamie is turning 50 -- yes, the big five-oh (on February 27, 2026 to be exact), and somehow she's glowing more than a fairy ring in an Irish meadow.

If you know Jamie, you might already know that Ireland isn't just a place on a map for her. It's her ancestral homeland, and the backdrop of a dream she's carried for decades.

For the past nine years, she's been saving for her dream trip to Ireland with the determination of someone who sets a budget... and actually sticks to it.

She's taken acting gigs, launched side ventures (too many Etsy shops for me to keep track of), learned DIY carpentry and home remodeling, and hunted down sales and grocery bargains with leprechaun-level stealth, and generally stretched every dollar like taffy.

The best part? She's managed to save about half of what she needs--which is incredible considering that, as the CEO of our large family, she also handles life's "surprise expenses." You know, the kind that appear out of nowhere and say, "Nice vacation fund... mind if I take a little?"

So for her 50th birthday, we're rallying around the woman who rallies for everyone else.

No gifts expected, truly.

Jamie isn't hoping for stuff. She's hoping for Ireland. Cliffs, castles, green hills, Aran sweaters, fiddles, pubs, the whole magical thing.

But if you feel inspired and want to help her get the rest of the way there, if you've been touched by her kindness, her humor, her generosity, or her uncanny ability to show up for people (and cook and bake amazing food for them), then any contribution to her Ireland Dream Fund would be a wonderful and meaningful way to say:

"Happy 50th Birthday, Jamie! We love you."

There is zero pressure. Your love, friendship, humor, and good wishes mean just as much. But if helping her finally stand on Irish soil brings you joy too--well, that's a pretty beautiful birthday gift.

Thank you for being part of her life and part of this dream.
