It’s been a year since we added this little wisteria wonderland to my daughter’s room, and I swear it still feels just as magical as the day we hung it up.

For those wondering how I keep it clean, nothing fancy here… just a feather duster once a week and it stays looking perfect.

Playing with my new Insta 360 camera. I haven’t used it too much since I went to Sri Lanka. There is still so much I need to learn about this thing. I especially need to remember to clean the lens before I film! That little fuzz on the lense is making me crazy. 🤪

The @Target Dollar section strikes again. I’m a sucker for their seasonal pillows. Couldn’t resist this little bunny pillow. I got a pair, one for each side of the sofa.

Sorry, but I really love my new Mickey vase. Had to post it again with my new flowers. Do you like it with daisies or roses better?

#LTKHome #LTKValentine

I’m kind of loving my new Mickey Mouse vase. What do you think? I believe that it’s supposed to hold succulents but for now I’m using it as a flower vase. I think the roses are pretty, but I think tulips will look delightful. I will add some succulents to it this spring #disney

Since the weather has turned dreary and chilly, it felt like the perfect time to make this hearty Italian Beef and Shell Noodle Casserole.This easy recipe is a family favorite… and even better, it makes great leftovers. I got it from my grandma, who called it “pizza casserole,” though I never thought it tasted much like pizza. With the fennel flavor, it’s always reminded me more of an Italian beef. Either way, it’s delicious and definitely worth a try. You can find the full recipe in the link in my bio. #casserole #easyrecipe #italiancasserole #beefandnoodlecasserole #heartyrecipes

Girls just want to have fun — and that’s exactly what we did this weekend. 💕

With our Magic Keys set to expire soon and still undecided on renewing, we decided to squeeze in one last trip. We drove down Thursday night, played a little hooky from school on Friday (shhh 🤫), and soaked up the kind of weekend that reminds you how special these moments really are.

There was lots of eating, lots of shopping, and so many laughs — but my favorite part was the extra one-on-one time. Just me and my girl, no rushing, no schedules, just being together and making memories. Those are the moments I’ll always hold onto.

It was the perfect break from the January doldrums. The weather was beautiful, we even snuck in some pool time, and everything felt easy and fun.

We also scored a last-minute deal at the Disney Villas. I booked a “duo” room without realizing it was supposed to be tiny, but it worked in our favor when we ended up with a complimentary upgrade. The room was beautiful and even had a small kitchenette.
Have you ever stayed at the Villas? #disney #loungefly

Just picked up the cutest Loungefly bag at Disneyland today. It holds alot too! #disney

Busy days call for simple, healthy meals.
This spinach quinoa salad with roasted sweet potato is my go-to winter salad. It keeps me full, tastes amazing, and actually lasts in the fridge. Win-win. I have the full recipe in the link in my bio. #healthysalad #saladrecipe #easyrecipe #healthyrecipe #quinoasalad

Too soon? Not if you want to get any of these cute things before they’re gone. Half of the stuff I got is in the dollar area of Target, and you know that stuff goes fast. #valentines

This English toffee is a Christmas must in our house—and it’s always a crowd favorite. 🎄 It’s my grandpa’s recipe, so you know it’s a good one. It’s easier than it sounds; just be sure to use a candy thermometer since the temperature needs to be spot on. You can find the full recipe at www.stayingblonde.com.

The problem with cutting your hair in the age of social media?
Everyone instantly knows when you post an old photo. 😅

Even before social media, back when I was acting, I tended to keep the same hairstyle forever because I didn’t want to pay for new headshots.

So if you catch me posting from the archives… no shame. It’s just, new hair, old pics.

Are you a post-it-in-real-time person, or a live in the archives curator? #instalife #newhairdontcare #disneyland

I don’t think I did too bad of a job for my first time trying to style it on my own. I think it’s all about having a good blowout and the right hair products.

Just showing off my new Grinch dishes from Lennox.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

Do you use your “nice” holiday dishes throughout the entire holiday season, Or do you only save them for Christmas dinner? I got this Grinch set from Lenox and I think it’s too cute to be used only once a year

For me, teen boys have always been always the hardest to shop for. Here are just a few things I found that would make almost any teen smile. And yes, my son is getting a few of these as well.

Add a little sparkle to your drinks this holiday season. This edible glitter makes all drinks shimmer.

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide

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

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

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.

🎃👻💀 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
