I just had my birthday, and I am so excited that I finally get to start "growing in wisdom." I need some wisdom! How long does it take to grow some?

Happy birthday, Michelle! Welcome!

Well, if you're trying to see any growth of wisdom in me, I'd have to say it's similar to the notion of the Ice Age, taking billions and billions of years, the changes imperceptible they are so slow.

Not that I have much wisdom, but... hang around with some "new moms" you'll find out you actually have grown a bit wiser with age. Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Yeah, when I was a younger mum, I used to look at mums in their 40s, with older kids, and think they were experts. Now I'm there, I wonder why the "expert-ness" didn't magically arrive.

Welcome Michelle.

Happy Birthday, Michelle and welcome!

The only wisdom I have is to know that I'm not very wise...yet .

Love,
