A long time ago, a royal family was travelling through my small town. The queen was going to have a baby! As sometimes happens, she went into labor early. She checked into the little local hospital about the same time that a young local couple checked in to have their baby early. Both the queen and the young woman gave birth to their babies.

Now at this point I am unclear as to what happened next. Maybe the queen had a girl but was really wanting a boy. Maybe the other young woman had a boy. Maybe there was just some tragic mix up. Maybe the young couple was paid to swap babies. Maybe some nurse or doctor at the hospital was paid to swap babies. Maybe both of the young mothers gave birth to baby girls and they were swapped accidentally. I am not sure, but all I do know is that the royal family left town and I went home with the young couple. Nobody at all speaks of this event; they act like it never happened.

I know though. I’ve always known I was different from a very young age. It took me a while to figure all this out. I’ve heard a few whispers. I’ve seen things. I saw a gold seal on my birth certificate! I’ve collected huge jewels my whole life. Sure, they are fake, but it isn’t like they left any of the royal money when they left.

Fast forward many years. I am a married woman with grown children and grandchildren. I work as a nail tech and electrologist. I enjoy these things, but deep down I know this can’t possibly be my destiny. I am sure I was destined for a royal lifestyle. 

I am now plunging, full speed ahead, towards my silver/golden years. I am determined to make the most of this stage of my life. I invite you to join me on the ride. I would like to charm you, entertain you and teach you. I would like for you to do the same for me.

I have many interests such as cooking, crafting, cruising, camping, family, reading, travelling, beauty secrets, anti-aging, music and so much more. All of the things that an aging princess needs to entertain herself as she crashes through her not so royal life.  I am the aging princess.

This blog came out of my love of all things digital, having fun and trying new things.  I want to share the new things with you, other aging princesses.  Most of the time the kids don't want to hear about my shenanigans, so I figured that I would find those that do.  I do have a few aging princess friends and even some friends that consider themselves commoners.  I would like to add to that list.

Thank you so much for being part of this community. There are plenty of ways that you can become more involved. Over time, as I learn my way, I will come up with more ways.  You might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but I'm hoping that an aging princess can learn some.
