Today, Michelle Obama celebrates her 50^th birthday.  Never have so many people, in our country and abroad, been so fascinated by the details revolving a milestone birthday of an American First Lady

Mrs. Obama started her birthday celebration a few weeks ago with a few extra days alone in Hawaii after spending time there with her entire family over the holidays.  She enjoyed an early birthday celebration with Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. Talk about a birthday kick-off!

This week, the first lady shared her thoughts about what it means to turn 50 in an interview conducted by People Magazine.  In the interview she mentions her desire to age gracefully like her mother, Marian Robinson. “She does exactly what she wants to do every single day without apology.  I’m not there yet, but I look forward to that,” The First Lady says about her mother.

Whether she is doing push-ups with Ellen or the Dougie with Jimmy Fallon, we have learned that the First Lady is all about supporting her husband, being there for her kids, living a healthy lifestyle, advocating for our youth, and aging with style and grace.

We are wishing Mrs. Obama a fabulous 50^th birthday and also hoping she has a blast at the dance party being hosted by her husband at the White House this Saturday (in her honor of course).  Happy Birthday, First Lady Michelle Obama!
