Added after 69 responses. I'm laffin at the fact that normally women dont share their age and here we are with more responses to this than most posts get... pretty funny! If our average age is approximately 38 that means we almost know what we are doing. 38 is a good age, I think that is when I finally started making good decisions for my life and became less intimidated by what other people thought. It appears that there are more 30 somethings here than anything else...
Getting responses from women that range from their early 20's and into their 60's is a whole lot of wisdom.

Every year I turn 29.
According to that Real Age website, I'm about 41.
According to my kids, I'm in my 70's.
According to my birth certificate, I'm 46, but I was born in England so the time difference might make me a little younger? Maybe? If we squint?
According to most people who don't know, I look younger than they think, if they figure they do know. Not sure how that works.
According to my ex, I'm past my prime.
My older sister always worries that I'll catch up with her.
So, I guess it depends who you ask. ; )

I will be 30 in October, and I first became a mommy when I was 21. I think it's great that so many of us are willing to share how old we are; I never understood why people would be embarrassed by how old (or young) they are. Great question!

And I really wish they had this website when I first had my babies, that was when they were the most trouble for me! :-)

Translated to 721 months.
Translated to 21,915 days, including leap year.
Translated to 526,752 hours, to the minute.
I need to live 54 more years to break 1,000,000 hours.
I'm gonna need to change some habits, I guess

My standout favorite ages are 28 and 40, and tomorrow.
All the rest were just great.

An on a side note, at the risk of sounding completely ridiculous, I couldn't help scanning the list hoping to come across one particular mamma who for several years I have continuously read over and over how great her life is.... how perfect her marriage, her child, her house, her car, her finances, and her body is (sometimes at the expense of making others feel "less" than her)....so I was wondering if she'd be on her sharing her actual age, alas, I don't see her, dang!
