When I was a kid, my dad gave me some sage advice.
“Never lament your birthday”, he said. “Life only gets better as you get older.”
Yesterday was my 35th birthday. Instead of freaking out (oh-em-gee, I’m halfway to seventy!!!) I decided to heed my dad’s advice and think about the wonderful life and wisdom my 35 years has brought me.
I know, I know, this has nothing to do with babywearing. But I thought you’d all enjoy it anyway.

Just turned 34. I hear you and I agree. It is getting better!
I think part of being able to feel this way is living an authentic life. That way there are no regrets!
I think my dad also wanted me to embrace myself as I got older because as women we are facing such pressure to stay “young”. His attitude was that a gorgeous yet insecure 25 year old couldn’t hold a candle to a confident women in her “later” years.
