Mommying After 40: Holiday Edition 🎄😅 Every day somehow costs $200 There are enough cookie crumbs in the pack & play to build a full gingerbread house It’s always loud. Like… why is it always loud?! And honestly? I’m THANKFUL I haven’t introduced Elf on the Shelf — because let’s be real… who has the time, energy, or creativity for that level of commitment? 😂 If you see me surviving the holidays with coffee and low expectations, mind your business.

What do you do when you’ve been stuck in the house for 3 days? ❄️
You lean all the way into #Skincare, obviously. 😌✨

My skin has been so dry lately, so I decided to give it some extra love. I pulled out my LED mask for red light therapy, which helps boost collagen, improve skin tone, reduce fine lines, and support overall skin repair—basically a glow-up while sitting on the couch. 🙌🏾

Then I tried SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, and now I get the hype. This cult-favorite essence helps hydrate deeply, improve texture, boost radiance, and support skin renewal thanks to PITERA™—leaving skin smoother, brighter, and more balanced over time.

Snowy days = slower pace + serious skincare.
What’s your snowy day skincare routine? 👇🏽

Mommying after 40… Things we are NOT doing in 2026 😂

• Not picking up toys every 10 minutes… just every 15. Progress.

• Getting my cardio by chasing you around the house trying to comb your hair… you can be the homely-looking child if you want (deep sigh).😞

• Eating every meal while both the child and the dog stare at me like they haven’t been fed in 12 hours (last time I checked neither of you share your food with me).

• Stopping you from climbing into the dog’s bed… it’s fine. The dog can sleep in your bed. Growth.

Boundaries look like lower expectations and a slightly messier living room 😅

What are you not doing in 2026? 👇🏽

Why do I look like Jason on a Sunday?! 😅🔪
Because it’s #SkinCareSunday, obviously.

Rocking this LED face mask and trusting the process ✨ because glowing skin > looking cute for 20 minutes. Here’s why I’m committed:

🔴 Red Light Therapy (400 LEDs) – Boosts collagen, smooths fine lines, improves skin tone, and helps bring back that youthful glow (consistency is key—give it 4 weeks).
🌈 7 Wavelength Light Modes –
• Red + Infrared (630nm & 850nm): firms + repairs
• Orange (600nm): calms redness + fades pigmentation
• Blue (460nm): helps control breakouts
• 7-Color Cycle: full-skin reset
⏱️ Easy, hands-free sessions – Set it for 10–20 minutes, 3–4x a week, and relax.
💆🏽‍♀️ Soft, flexible, and comfy – Lightweight medical-grade silicone that fits any face.
💸 Spa-grade results at home – Saves time and money. Yes please.

Beauty isn’t always pretty—but the results are. 😌✨

Officially in my press-on nail era 💅🏾✨

As a busy mom and entrepreneur, I don’t always have time to sit in a nail salon—but I still want my nails to look good. Press-ons are my go-to because I can have a full set in about 20 minutes, switch them up whenever I want, and keep it moving.

Low commitment, high impact, and mom-life approved. 🙌🏾

Starting my New Year with @lauragellerbeauty ✨#LGBrighten #sponsored

As a mom, I get about 30 seconds to put on makeup — so I need products that are quick, easy, and actually make a difference. The Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleized Blush in Tropic Hues is giving me that fresh, radiant glow in just a few swipes. Paired with the Retractable Angled Kabuki Brush, blending is effortless (even on rushed mornings).

I love that the swirls of marbleized pigments create a natural, multidimensional flush that works on any skin tone, while antioxidants help keep my skin feeling soothed and hydrated. And of course, it’s made to flatter mature skin — which is exactly what I need.

Quick routine. Radiant glow. Mom-approved. 💕

Mommying after 40… watching your child have their own dance party — even when there’s no music playing. 😂💃🏽

✨ Mommying tip #1: Kids don’t wait for the “right moment” to feel joy — they just go for it.
✨ Mommying tip #2: You don’t need a playlist to have fun, just presence.
✨ Mommying tip #3: When in doubt, dance it out.

Honestly, we could all learn a thing or two from these tiny humans who live fully in the moment. 💛

Understated Christmas outfit, but make it comfortable 🎄✨

This cozy-chic look is perfect for the holiday season when you want to look put together and still enjoy all the food. I’m wearing the Open Minded Burgundy Vegan Leather Pants (yes—they have stretch, so holiday meals are welcome 😌) paired with the Lucie Cream and Black Striped Button-Up Sweater Top—and trust me, this top will be on full rotation long after the holidays.

Perfect for brunch, family gatherings, or running those last-minute Christmas errands while still feeling cute and comfy.

Skincare Saturday 🧖🏽‍♀️✨ with @garnierusa — because taking the day off shouldn’t take forever.

After a long day, I need skincare that’s quick, easy, and actually works. As a mom, wife, and dog mom, my self-care window is usually just a few minutes — so this Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Waterproof Cleanser has been a lifesaver.

I love that this bi-phase cleanser removes even waterproof and long-wear makeup while leaving my skin feeling clean and refreshed (not stripped). Simple, effective, and my skin is very happy. 💧✨

Mommying After 40 with a dog… things they don’t tell you 😂

The dog was here first, so yes—expect jealousy.
But the minute a Cheerio or chicken nugget hits the floor?
👯‍♀️ Instant. Best. Friends.
And suddenly I’m the third wheel in my own house.

But give it a minute… that same jealous pup becomes her fierce protector, shadow, snack inspector, and emotional support bodyguard. 🐶💗👶🏾

Life is loud, messy, and hilarious… and honestly, I wouldn’t trade this chaos for anything.

Mommying a one-year-old toddler after 40… the things they don’t tell you 🤣

Like how:
👶🏾 Your cardio is now sprinting after a tiny human with no sense of danger
☕️ Coffee and Coke Zero is a lifestyle, not a drink
💃🏾 Bedtime is YOUR party time (aka: silence + snacks to yourself)
🍪 your toddler considers cookies a food group
🧴 And somehow your whole body hurts even when you’re just sitting still

But honestly? Wouldn’t trade this chaos for anything. #BuiltInBestFriend 💕
