I went to make a simple pomegranate cocktail… then spotted cranberry pomegranate juice at the store and decided to give it a try. Best holiday decision I’ve made.
Add Prosecco and a pinch of edible Diamond Dust, and suddenly your drink sparkles like it’s ready for a party. I made it for Thanksgiving, and now I’m officially obsessed.
It’s simple, pretty, and tastes like holiday cheer in a glass.
The recipe is up on the blog now. Link in bio. #holidaycocktails #cranberrypomegranate #spritz #holidayrecipe #cranberryspritz

Do you have a Christmas pickle? We’ve always had a one on our tree. When the kids were younger, we’d take turns re-hiding the ornament in the branches and spend the whole season re-finding it.

Another fun twist is saving the big hide for Christmas morning and giving a little bonus gift to whoever spots it first.

A lot of people say this quirky tradition started in Germany (though no one can fully agree on that), but honestly, the mystery just makes it more charming. #christmaspickle #christmasdecorations #christmastreedecorating #nostalgicchristmas

You just can’t get that nostalgic glow from LEDs. This year, I finally broke down and bought colorful incandescent lights to give my tree that warm, cozy glow I remember from childhood. Although, we did use a twinkling strand of LEDs as well to give it that extra pizzazz. (My husband and kids like twinkle)

I know it may not be the most aesthetic, Instagram-perfect tree, but it’s full of warmth, color, and memories, and that’s all that matters.

The only thing missing is the tinsel… but I have a cat, and I love my cat more. #nostalgicchristmas #christmasdecorations #christmastreedecorating #vintagechristmasdecor

Every good boy and girl needs a new hat for the holidays

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKCyberWeek #LTKFindsUnder50

Trying a new serum tonight. I love their lotion and eye cream, so I’m sure I will love the serum as well.

Packed and ready! BTW Disney’s Black Friday sale is going on right now! Tons of cute gifts and stuff for the holidays

Teen Girl Holiday Gift Ideas

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKmomlife #LTKCyberWeek

Christmas shopping for teen girls might just be the most fun shopping ever! My biggest problem is that I want one of everything too. My daughter is a Peanuts fan. She will absolutely love this super soft, zip up hoodie and Stanley mug.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKmomlife #LTKCyberWeek

Just grabbed this super soft Snoopy zip-up hoodie for my daughter for Christmas. She loves Snoopy and I think it will be a hit

Even the cat scratcher gets decorated for Christmas.

I wasn’t feeling a birthday photo yesterday, so I searched my camera roll for something that truly captures 51… and found this. Me and my favorite portable massager, tackling my stiff neck, sore muscles, and all the other “fun” surprises your body gives you in your 50s.

This is 51, still laughing, still grateful, still held together by caffeine and vibration therapy. Oh, and I have my massager linked in my bio. It’s seriously one of the best purchases I’ve made in years. 😂 #happybdaytome #lifeover50 #hyperice #massager #massagerwithheat

Nothing like another birthday to remind me to take care of my skin! Broke out some of my favorite skin care products I got in Japan this summer. These anti-aging masks are amazing. I love how soft and refreshed my skin feels after I take them off.

Our arches do double duty all season long! These are the same ones we use for our Halloween tunnel. We just tuck away the spooky decor, add some festive lights, and voilà…instant Candy Cane Lane.

#LTKHalloween

🎃👻💀 Happy Halloween, everyone!
I can’t believe it’s here already, and on a Friday, no less! I’m extra excited that our arches will stay up through the entire weekend to celebrate Día de los Muertos as well.

Right now, I’m in full prep mode, cleaning, cooking, and getting everything ready for tonight’s festivities. It’s going to be a full, fun, weekend.

For those who may not be familiar, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a beautiful Mexican tradition that honors loved ones who have passed. It’s celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, coinciding with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Families build ofrendas adorned with marigolds, candles, photos, and favorite foods of the departed to welcome their spirits home. It’s not about sadness, it’s about remembering with joy and celebrating the lives that shaped us. 🌼💀✨ #happyhalloween #diadelosmuertos

Getting our Halloween Tunnel up and ready for the big night

#LTKHoliday #LTKHalloween #LTKParties

Happy Monday! Not trying to brag, but I worked out three times last week! I know it’s not a lot, but it’s a big step up from doing nothing. Just a little reminder to celebrate the small wins, progress is progress. Starting small still counts… at least that’s what I like to tell myself! My goal this week is to keep it up! 🤞 #mondaymood #mondaymotivation #momlifebelike #littlewins

Slowly, adding spooky touches all around the home

This is seriously the best massager ever. It sticks right onto your skin, vibrates and heats. It’s been a lifesaver on our tuk tuk journey around Sri Lanka.

My new toy for my upcoming trip to Sri Lanka! So excited to share my 360 footage!!

#LTKTravel

This is an easy and fun way to add a little witchy vibe to any room. I figure I’m already using my essential oil diffuser. Why not make it spooky!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFallSale #LTKHome

I’m definitely taking this with me on my upcoming trip to Sri Lanka, since I’ll probably be in the sun daily! I have a link below and it’s under $25!!

Twinning is winning with sweatshirts this cute! My daughter had this first, and I thought it was so cute that I had to get one for myself as well.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFamily

Do you still use books to research travel or do you solely use the internet? I have to confess. I still love a good travel book. I’m headed to Sri Lanka soon, and picked up this one up to cram a little before my trip. I’ve listed some of my favorite travel books, and also a few of my favorite maxi skirts below.

I am so excited for our Halloween tunnel this year. It won’t be a spooky as other years, but will sure be festive and fun. #halloweendecor

‘tis the season for apple crisp! It’s so delicious and incredibly easy to make. I’ve linked a bunch of cute fall, baking dishes that this crisp would look scrumptious in.

This was an easy and inexpensive way to really give our side patio some new life. We did this a couple months ago and it still is holding up great. We used Behr’s masonry and stucco paint from Home Depot. I have the full set of instructions at stayingblonde.com.

I am so happy I was able to make this vision a reality - the best part is that it was not hard at all. I have the full set of directions at stayingblonde.com.

#LTKHome #LTKKids #LTKFamily

This hanging wisteria in my daughter’s room is one of my favorite DIY projects. It turned out so sweet and wasn’t that hard to make. Just a sidenote, make sure you grab a feather duster to dust it about once a week.

I love my smoothies! I’ve been wearing these patches at night and they have smoothed out all my fine lines and wrinkles. They come in all shapes and sizes for all areas of the face. I have them all linked below. #smoothies #smoothiesskin @smoothiesskin

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

#sponsored Smoothies work! I can’t believe I saw a difference after only one night of wear. I’ve been wearing them every night since and I can definitely tell that my wrinkles and fine lines have been reduced. @smoothiesskin #smoothies #smoothiesskin

I love my Plumeria plants. I get a cutting every time I go to Hawaii and I love watching my little sticks Bloom.
