At 48, I’m unlearning who I had to be to survive and becoming who I get to be now.
Trying new things. Saying yes more often. Letting life feel fun again.
Turns out… I didn’t know I needed this until now.

For a long time, I just assumed that was normal—
the constant adjusting, the never-quite-right feeling.

It didn’t feel like a problem…
because I didn’t know anything different.

And then something shifted.

Nothing about me—
just what I was wearing.

It’s a different kind of confidence
when something is actually made for your body.

I don’t think I realized how loud my mind had gotten
until I started paying attention to it.

It’s not even one thing—
it’s everything, all at once.

Responsibilities, random thoughts, things I need to do, things I forgot I already did…

And somewhere in the middle of all of that,
you just keep going.

I think that’s what this stage of life really is—
learning how to carry it all without letting it carry you.

And laughing, loving, and appreciating every part of the journey.

5 years later… we finally agreed 😅

Not just on a couch—but on something that actually works for our life.
Between two dogs, teenagers, and everything in between… our old one did its time.

So this time, we wanted something that could keep up and still look styled.

We landed on a Lovesac sectional and I already know… this is one of those “should’ve done this sooner” decisions.

Now the real question…
Do you think I went lighter or darker? 👀

Some outfits don’t need a big moment.

They just quietly make you feel beautiful, feminine, and a little more confident the second you put them on.

And honestly… those are always my favorite ones.

✨ A little Disney magic, a lot of wonder

There’s something about Disneyland…
it doesn’t matter how old you are—
you just never outgrow it 🤍

The music, the lights, the feeling in the air…
it brings you right back to that place where everything feels a little lighter, a little more magical.

And maybe that’s the point—
not to outgrow it…
but to grow into it in a different way ✨

I fully support any outfit that makes you stand a little straighter, smile a little easier, and walk through the day like you belong exactly where you are.

No second guessing required.

Some days it’s about balance.
Some days it’s about showing up.

Today… both.

California mornings are a trust exercise.

You step outside and the sun is shining, so naturally you think… perfect dress weather.

Then you walk into the shade and suddenly it feels like you’ve made several poor life decisions.

One minute it’s summer.
The next minute it’s winter.

So yes… the denim jacket came with me.

I don’t need a vacation.

Sometimes I just need 45 minutes
where no one is looking for me.

No pre-departure meeting.
No inventory check.
No “before you go…”

Just quiet confidence and a strategic exit.

Operation: Me.

Because showing up for everyone else
requires showing up for yourself too.

And yes — it’s completely acceptable to be all three.

I didn’t always wear my heart like this.
I had to learn how to protect it.
Now, I wear it with intention.

January is not a deadline.
I’m easing into this year on purpose — less pressure, more presence.
Soft starts still count. Quiet progress counts too.

If you’re moving slower right now… you’re not behind. 🤍

✨ Save this if you needed the reminder.

Just add snow
Turns out that was the missing ingredient. ❄️

This year changed me - quietly, deeply.
It taught me that strength doesn't always look loud,
and that love doesn't end when someone leaves this world.
I'm carrying more perspective, more compassion,
and more purpose into the new year.
Hello, 2026 ✨

I’m sorry for what I said before my coffee. 😂
Listen… the pre-caffeine version of me should not be trusted.
She says things. She makes decisions. She makes absolutely zero sense.

But give me one good brew and suddenly—
I go from feral to functional…
and my personality returns to factory settings.

A true transformation story—
starring caffeine. ☕✨🤎

December called…. She wants her sweater back. 🎅🏻❤️

Me: I don't need another holiday sweater.
Also me: buys the one covered in Santa hats and suddenly becomes the accidental holiday mascot.
If December needs me, l'll be out here spreading joy whether anyone asked for it or not LOL. 🎄

There’s something about being tucked into nature that makes me feel peaceful in a way I always forget I need — even if I’m also quietly bracing for bugs, branches, and the occasional mysterious rustle. I always tell myself I should do this more often… and maybe someday I will. Because the beauty out here? Worth it every time. Grateful for moments like this.

I take care of others all day long, from the ER to home, and slipping into something that takes care of me feels like a small act of kindness I can actually give myself.

The fabric is cool, airy, and so gentle on the skin it feels like an exhale. It drapes beautifully on my tall frame and instantly puts me in “I’m allowed to rest” mode.🤍

If you’ve been needing permission to slow down and care for yourself too… consider this your sign.⚠️

Espresso Yourself.
Because there’s power in pausing.
Power in choosing calm over chaos, grace over perfection, and a cappuccino over a meltdown. ☕😉
Every day’s a chance to refill your cup—literally and figuratively—and remind yourself you’re doing better than you think.

If you’ve ever tried on jeans and thought,
“Cute… if I were 5’6.”
This one’s for you.

The Pria Powerstretch Jeans from @alloyapparel were made specifically with Tall Women in mind — not as an afterthought.
They hug, they stretch, and they actually retain their shape. They miraculously reach the floor — I’m wearing the 37” inseam here (but they also come in 35” if you’re not living the full giraffe experience like I am! 🙋🏼‍♀️🦒).

And if bodysuits were the also a diamond find for the tall babes. This here, is the unicorn of bodysuits. Reoria does it again!!

✨ I’m so excited to get to offer a special discount for my fellow tall babes. Use code ONETALLBLONDEMOM for 20% off your entire order.

Turns out I took a little 'plot twist' break from posting — life wrote a chapter I didn't see coming.
But I'm back, with gratitude, caffeine, and a fresh stack of magazines.
To those who've stuck around - I see you, l've missed you, and I promise there's more to come.

Between mom life, work life, family life, and social life, I definitely didn't think I had space for court life too... but here we are Jury duty is officially checked off the adulting list, and let's just say l'm not mad about being dismissed
W. Back to coffee runs, carpools, working my "real job"
in the ER, and content -instead of courtrooms
* Be honest-would you actually want to serve on a jury at least once in your life, or is it a hard pass?

48. Not the age I dreamed about as a little girl... but honestly? She's kind of a vibe.
She's calm. She's confident. She drinks her coffee like it's a personality trait and no longer shrinks herself to make others comfortable (even if she's a solid 6'2" while doing it).
If you're somewhere in this beautiful, chaotic chapter too — welcome. We're wiser, louder in our boundaries, and finally secure enough to take up every inch of the space we were given.
Getting older isn't scary. Shrinking for other people is.
+ Here's to growing, loving, and hyping each other all the way through it.

When you’re 6’2” and still falling for the wedges.
These @cosyisland_official beauties are actually walkable, shockingly comfy, and tall-girl tested (and approved 🙌🏻).
No teetering. No toe squish. Just buttery-soft vibes and stable sass.

✨ Bonus: they’re neutral enough to go with everything.

Tag your tall bestie who swore she’d never wear heels again. Let her know the comeback is real. 💬👇🏻

If you told my high school self that one day she’d walk into her 30th reunion—wearing a denim vest, black pants, and a whole lot of self-assurance—she wouldn’t have believed you.

But growth doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it looks like showing up comfortable in your own skin.
Sometimes it’s in the way you carry yourself—not to impress, but to connect.

This look was simple, but it felt like me—and that’s the glow-up I’m most proud of.
Every piece is linked for you on LTK—because personal style is just another reflection of personal growth. ✨

Who says comfy can't be cute? Took these @vivaia_official slip-ons out for an ice cream date and didn't regret it for a second. No blisters. No regrets. Just an ice cream cone, sneakers, and someone I love. 🥰

Comfort: 10/10
Style: 10/10
Will I be wearing these on every errand for the rest of summer? Also yes.

What's your go-to date treat-ice cream or something salty? 🍦🥨
