Up until now, I have not felt the need to disclose my age, for two reasons:

1. I'm not one who gets caught up in the numbers
2. I've been told I'm "wise beyond my years"

That said, it seems as if I'm pulling the rug out from under my feet when I tell anyone my age. They usually respond in shock & then say "Oh my, you're so young! You always seem much older/wiser than that!"

See what I mean?

So, how old am I?

36.

Honestly, I don't find this too young when it comes to Mom advice purely for the fact that I gave birth to my first child at 21! I've got 15 years of experience under this hood!

Which brings me to the Question Of The Day:


What do you do about gray hair?


Now, these pesky little buggers started showing up about a year ago & for awhile I convinced myself that it must have been how the lighting was reflecting on my natural highlights {ha ~ that was obviously a state of denial!}

Until of course, the day arrived when one of my friends said "You have a gray hair!" with a huge smile on her face... we're no longer friends :-)

Where I'm sure the misconception {okay, denial} came in on my part is because upon birth ~ I was what you call a "toe-head", so blond my hair was CLEAR!

{yes, I have the disturbing baby pictures to prove it! The ones where my mother's desperate attempt to tell the world she had a GIRL looked like bows that had been super glued to my head}

Then as a child I was that brilliant blond everyone buys kits to try & mock.

Into my adulthood & subsequent motherhood, I became that "dishwater blond" {not my favorite color, but whatever}

So now, as I've obviously began the downhill decent to my 40's it is becoming clear that I may be headed for the Gray Days sooner than I thought.

So I'm curious ~ what does everyone else do?

• Do you color & cover?
• Do you pluck it?
• Do you ignore it {& pretend it's highlights}?
• Or do you embrace it?

I'd love some advice, if you're up for commenting ... but a few clicks into the poll would work nicely too.

Show me the Momma~Girlfriend love ...
