My marathon training shoes 👟🤍

I’ve been running since I was 30, and at 51 I’m training for my first marathon!

A good pair of running shoes makes ALL the difference.

Linking mine here because we’ve got a whole lot of miles ahead of us. 🏃‍♀️

Target said, “Pick a color,” and I said, “That feels unnecessary.” 😂

The cream is so pretty, but wait until you see the orange!

I linked both sweaters and the jeans.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

I tried on the jacket, added the T-shirt and jeans—and suddenly I had a whole new outfit.

Honestly, all three pieces were too cute to leave behind! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I linked the entire outfit ⬇️

This sweet mug means so much more than coffee.

Beth’s girls gave it to her in memory of their Aunt B, and the message couldn’t be more perfect.

Such a beautiful and meaningful gift for someone you love. 🐝💛

A little retail therapy turned into a cart full of fall finds 😂🍂

I found some really cute pieces and decor this trip.

Linking what I can ⬇️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

My mom sent us this Primo water dispenser and I LOVE this thing. Then we ended up under a boil water order and let’s just say it became even more appreciated.

The best part? The jug loads in the bottom, so there’s no lifting that giant thing up and flipping it over. It stays hidden underneath, and we have hot AND cold water ready to go.

We grab the water jugs at Sam’s and that’s it. So dang easy.

Linked both ⬇️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

A few of her everyday favorites from BYOMA + The Ordinary, and the Wet Brush that is always part of the routine.

Simple products she actually uses and keeps reaching for.

A few recent Target finds and the fall stuff is SOOOO GOOD right now.

These pumpkin pajamas were an immediate yes, and I found quite a few other fabulous FALL pieces while I was there.

Sharing everything I tried on and my favorites here!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

A cozy sweater, a good pair of jeans and I’m ready for fall. 🍂

I found both of these at Target and I’m loving the fit! Cute, comfortable and so easy to wear. 🤎

For size reference: I’m 5’3”, 130 lbs, wearing a small in the sweater and a size 2 in the jeans.

#LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife #LTKOver40

This sweater AND these jeans came home with me! 🤍 Cute, comfy, easy to wear and exactly the kind of fall outfit I love.

I love an outfit that feels put together but is still comfortable and easy for everyday life.

Sizing reference: I’m 5’3”, 125 lbs.
👖 Jeans: size 2 — I sized down
🤍 Sweater: Small — true to size

Sweater + jeans linked in the comments below!

My granddaughter Quinn has been begging to mop “just like Mommy” — so I ordered her this little spray mop and handed it over. She went straight to work, no hesitation.

It’s a genuinely great little mop too — built-in sprayer, glides easily, lightweight enough for little hands. Linking it below for anyone who wants one for their own tiny helper (or honestly, just for yourself).

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKKids

I love cute holiday pajamas, but I love them even more when I’m hanging out with my kids and grands in them. And I don’t care what holiday it is… if there are cute PJs involved, I’m probably buying them. 😂

Because the kids may grow up, but we still get to make the memories. 🤍

And yes, I linked these because LOOK AT THEM. 🎃

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Snoopy + pumpkins + all the cozy fall nostalgia?! SO dang cute.

I found way too many things I wanted to bring home. 😂

Linking my favorites from the collection! 🤎

#LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I sent this to Gracie because cooking is definitely not her favorite thing 😂 and honestly, this just makes life SO much easier.

She’s up early teaching Pilates classes and can teach all day, so the last thing she wants to do when she gets home is preheat the oven and make a whole production out of dinner.

This little air fryer/toaster oven has been PERFECT. 🙌 Easy, quick, doesn’t heat up the whole kitchen, and she can throw something in and actually eat without making cooking an event. 😂

One of those things I bought for my daughter that I’d absolutely recommend to anyone living alone, busy girls, college kids or empty nesters too!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

New Kiehl’s haul just landed and I’m genuinely excited to try this one.

Tagged 4 pieces I’m testing over the next few weeks. Barrier-hydrating cleanser, eye treatment, UV serum, the works. Will report back on what earns a permanent spot in my routine.

50 & Over Fashion 💕
Is it cute? Yes.
Is it comfy? Yes.
But then I realized… IT HAS POCKETS.

SOLD. 😂🙌

At this age, apparently all it takes to make me ridiculously happy is a cute shirt with somewhere to put my phone. 🤷🏼‍♀️

50 & Over Fashion ✨
Easy, affordable & actually comfortable

Old Navy outfit + Amazon shoes. This is the kind of everyday outfit I’ll wear on repeat!

My momma always said, “when pigs fly…” 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well Momma… apparently they do. And they’re at Tractor Supply.

I absolutely could NOT leave him there.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal

Sam’s is NOT helping my fall obsession.

I mean… Disney Halloween?!

How cute are these?!🧡

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Found this Practical Magic tee and immediately thought of Gracie because she LOVES this movie. 🔮🖤 And look how cute it is on her!! Such a fun fall find. 🍂

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal

My grandma always made it when I was growing up, and I just started making it again. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, but nothing beats a big jar of tea sitting in the sunshine.

Linking the jars I use because sometimes the simple things really are the best things. 🫙

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKHome

Jill tried the Halara linen pants and okayyyy… these are CUTE. 👏🏼

Comfy, flattering and one of those easy pairs you can throw on with just about anything. Definitely a good find!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

Okayyyy Sam’s… HOW CUTE are these?! 🧙‍♀️💜

The THREE witches together?! I’m confirming I absolutely need these for Halloween. 😂

Linking them because I know I’m not the only one.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Sam’s Club is coming through with the fall decor! 🍂 I found two fall pillows and one Halloween pillow that were way too cute to pass up. And the prices?! 👏

Linking all three! 🧡🎃

#SamsClubFinds #LTKHome #FallDecor #HalloweenDecor #FallHome

Okay okayyyy… I MAY be getting a little more excited for fall. 🍂

I’m still a summer girl, but then I see a cute sweatshirt like this and suddenly I’m thinking crisp mornings, cute jeans, coffee and all the cozy things.

Fine, fall. You’re growing on me. 🤎

Linking this cutie ⬇️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

Okay but these Halloween blow-ups are seriously SO CUTE! The cow with the little pumpkin bucket?! 😂

Such a fun way to make the yard festive for Halloween.

Linking these cuties here!

Okay but HOW cute is this giant light-up pumpkin?! 🎃🖤

The black with that blue glow is so fun, and I can already picture him sitting on the front porch for Halloween. Tractor Supply is seriously coming through with the Halloween finds this year!

POV: your daughter has the best aesthetic ✨

Gracie has made her space SO cute and cozy, and I love all the little details she’s added. 🤎 Linking the pieces that helped pull her room together — because apparently I need her to come decorate mine next. 😂

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKTravel

The Sasquatch. The cowboy dog. The chickens with the pumpkins. I mean COME ON.

This is exactly the kind of random fall decor I go in for and suddenly decide I need. 😂

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

When you and your besties stay in touch the important way… sending each other outfit pics. 😂

“Do we like this?”
“Is this cute?”
“Should I keep it?”

Friendship in your 50s. ❤️😂

Linking the outfit because obviously now I have to show you too!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Ghosts, pumpkins, coffee cups… they’re cute, comfy AND Walmart prices. I linked all the ones I found because choosing just one felt unnecessary. 🤎

Perfect for cozy mornings, movie nights, or those of us already pretending it’s October.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal

I’m telling you right now… if my kids were still little, THIS would be our chicken coop. 😂🐔

A chicken coop bounce house?! I am OBSESSED. The kids would’ve been living in this thing all summer.

Linked because this is just too cute not to share!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKKids

I mean LOOK at them!!! Mummy geese with glowing red eyes?!

Linked right here if your Halloween porch needs a mummy goose too!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Tractor Supply Halloween gets me EVERY time. 😂

A ghost cow AND a cowboy skeleton?! I mean… how am I supposed to just walk by these?!

Do I technically need either one? No.
Can I already picture them in the yard? Absolutely. 🤣

I linked both ⬇️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Being a Mimi means I can’t walk past the kids’ section without looking and then Kohl’s goes and puts out ALL of this Halloween cuteness?!

The little black cat. The Bluey. The Minnie. The Hello Kitty.

Do they need more Halloween clothes? Probably not.
Is that going to stop Mimi? Also probably not. 🤣
