A Collection Of Birthday Quotes For My Birthday

As an Amazon Associate/Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Today is my birthday!

2 Wired 2 Tired Tesa NicolantiRemember when you were a kid and you could barely sleep the night before your birthday? I’ve decided to set a goal for myself this year and a couple of nights a week when I go to bed I want to find something to look forward to the next day that makes me feel at least half this excited. I might end up more tired, but can you imagine how fun it would be to go to bed each night as if you were a kid again and it was the day before your birthday? It should be an fun challenge and one that will make me appreciate the little things.

Today Dave, Kora & Logan have some fun things planned and it will be a great day. To get myself pumped up for it, I browsed the web for some inspiring, motivating, and funny birthday quotes.

Here’s a few of my favorites:

How old would you be, if you didn’t know how old you are? – Satchel Paige

Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new. – Sammy Hagar

The way I see it, you should live every day like it’s your birthday. – Paris Hilton

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. – Oprah Winfrey

You know you’re getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It’s like, “See if you can blow this out.” – Jerry Seinfeld

The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. – Lucille Ball


About Tesa Nicolanti

I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired, a blog named after our two kids born a year apart, who my husband and I always said were too wired, leaving us too tired. :) Since 2009, I’ve shared tips on family, travel, and tech, with coffee always in hand. Now, as the kids head to college, 2 Wired 2 Tired continues as a place for family travel ideas, helpful gadgets, and insights on keeping family life fun and easy.

    The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. – Lucille Ball is probably my favorite and oh so true. Lucille Ball was a timeless beauty perhaps that’s the trick :)

    Happy Birthday, Tesa! I’m sorry that I didn’t get to send you my greetings earlier, especially on FB. Love the challenge and the quotes. I hope you had a special day :)

    • Tired Mom Tésa says

      October 2, 2012 at 12:36 pm

      Thanks Connie! I did have a wonderful birthday. Thanks for the well wishes!

    Happy Birthday!!! I feel awful for being so late to the game on this wish. You look stunning with that flower in your hair. I hope this was a fabulous day for you :)

    • Tired Mom Tésa says

      October 2, 2012 at 12:42 pm

      No problem. Belated birthday wishes are just as wonderful as those on the same day. My husband always says my birthday lasts a whole week, so according to him you’re not late at all. I did have a fantastic day, thanks for the well wishes!

  16. Valerie Delmonico says

    • Tired Mom Tésa says

      October 2, 2012 at 12:45 pm

    I think birthdays are special – I know sometimes as adults we “play down” the birthday b/c we either don’t like aging or don’t want it to be “all about us” but i think that is a shame b/c that day is a special time to celebrate another year’s journey in life!! :)
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    • Tired Mom Tésa says

      October 2, 2012 at 12:48 pm

      I was going back and forth with this contrast this year. Aging is tough but as you said it’s also a great reason to celebrate. Thanks for the birthday wishes!

  18. Jennifer Marie says

    October 1, 2012 at 9:59 pm

    Happy happy birthday! Always a day to start new :)

    • Tired Mom Tésa says

      October 2, 2012 at 12:50 pm

      Thank you! It was a wonderful day and I had fun compiling the quotes.

  20. Anita Anderson says

    October 1, 2012 at 7:13 pm

    I <3 Lucille Ball's quote and its true that feeling you have as a kid is priceless. After you get older you don't want to count the candles on your cake and that's even if you get one. That is a bright side to look forward too.

    • Tired Mom Tésa says

      October 2, 2012 at 12:55 pm

      I agree it’s important to stay optimistic, excited, and to look at the bright side of things.

  21. Maralea says

    October 1, 2012 at 5:35 pm

  22. Angie Agerter says

    October 1, 2012 at 4:27 pm

    :) Happy Birthday Tesa!!
    I still look forward to my birthdays. I think every single birthday is a reason to celebrate, no matter your age because are you are alive and have lived a full year, that itself is a cause of celebration!!

  23. Kristina Vanni says

    October 1, 2012 at 3:55 pm

    Happy Birthday! How fun – love the quotes!

  24. Kristin @ Mommy Miscellaneous says

    Here’s another for you – anonymous, but funny…

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
