I think a lot of millennial moms are walking around feeling both things at once…

deeply grateful for the life we built 🤍
and also quietly wanting more for ourselves too.

more joy.
more confidence.
more fun.
more peace.
more of us again.

and honestly?
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that ✨

Respectfully… Type C elder millennial moms are just out here surviving on iced coffee, nostalgia, and pure chaos 😂✌️

The sports schedule is color coded.
The unread emails are concerning.
The key fob is missing.
And somehow we’re still making it to baseball in a cute outfit 🤍

If you’ve ever said “on my way” while still in a towel… welcome home 😂

Baseball or bust ⚾️📣💪👑

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Somewhere along the way I went from not knowing the difference between a ball and a strike… to confidently yelling baseball advice from a bag chair all weekend long. 😂⚾️

Now I’m out here shouting:
“Good eye!”
“Run it out!”
“Good cut!”
“Nobody better!”
Like I’m getting paid to be here.

The truth? Most sports moms earned their coaching credentials the same way:
☕ travel ball
☕ early mornings
☕ tournament weekends
☕ and approximately 47,000 innings of research by observation

And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 🤍

Tell me your go-to thing you yell from the stands. 👇⚾️

I started this page with absolutely no clue what I was doing 😂

I had never used Instagram like this.
Never edited a video.
Never edited a photo.
Never understood hooks, algorithms, lighting, transitions… literally none of it.

I just knew I loved clothes.
I loved putting together cute outfits.
And deep down I think I was craving a creative outlet that belonged to me again.

So I started messy.
I figured it out as I went.
And honestly… I’m still figuring it out.

But somewhere along the way this stopped being just about outfits.

It became about connection.

Because this phase of life as an elder millennial mom can feel weird and lonely sometimes.

We’re raising kids while trying to rediscover ourselves.
We’re grieving old versions of life while trying to feel excited about what’s ahead.

We miss parts of the past, question ourselves constantly, and still somehow keep showing up for everyone else every single day.

And the coolest part of all of this has been realizing there are so many women out there quietly thinking:
“same girl.”

Same memories.
Same struggles.
Same nostalgia.
Same desire to grow into this next version of ourselves without losing who we’ve always been.

So if you’re here… thank you.
Thank you for seeing me, supporting me, laughing with me, and growing alongside me.

This page is evolving because I’m evolving.
And I’m going to keep showing up authentically, creatively, imperfectly, and hopefully creating a space where women in this stage of life feel seen, understood, inspired, and a little less alone 🤍

Stick around if you’re into elder millennial chaos, cute outfits, sports mom life, nostalgia, growth, and figuring it out together.

41 has taught me a few things 🤍

Wear the outfit.
Take the picture.
Dance in the kitchen.
Go on the walk.
Stop waiting until you lose weight, get caught up, or feel “good enough” to enjoy your life.

Your kids won’t remember a perfect house.
They’ll remember your energy.
The music playing in the car.
The way you showed up for them.
The way you laughed.

And honestly?
Most things really do feel less dramatic after protein, sleep, and a cute pair of jeans 😂

If you’re an elder millennial mom just trying to enjoy this season a little more… you’re in the right place 🤍

Turns out I wasn’t actually a crabby mom…

I was just overstimulated, exhausted, trying to do everything for everyone, and running solely on iced coffee and survival mode 😂🤍

1️⃣ Sleeping more because tired moms are one missing water bottle away from a complete emotional collapse 😂

2️⃣ Letting myself buy little treats without guilt because sometimes the iced coffee is the self care

3️⃣ Wearing outfits I actually feel cute in because confidence changes the energy in a house more than people realize

4️⃣ Taking alone time seriously instead of acting like motherhood means being available every second of the day

5️⃣ Understanding that constantly overstimulated moms aren’t failing…
they’re usually just carrying too much without enough support 🤍

If you’re a millennial mom trying to feel like yourself again while raising tiny athletes and surviving the chaos… you’re my kind of people 🤍

Respectfully… elder millennial moms are entering their “I finally remembered who I am” era 😂🔥

No more shrinking ourselves.
No more apologizing for wanting time alone, cute outfits, loud music, or big dreams.

We survived low rise jeans, toxic diet culture, group projects, and being told “leggings aren’t pants.”

We can survive anything 💅😂

Now catch us blasting 2000s rap on the way to baseball in a blazer looking hotter, calmer, and less stressed than we did at 27 🤍

Millennial Mom Uniform Upgrade Ep. 28 🤍

The official start of shorts season 😂☀️

Retiring the ripped short shorts + random tank top combo for something that feels a little more effortless, elevated, and “cool mom grabbing an iced coffee after baseball” energy 🙌

Swapped them for longer denim shorts, a lightweight linen top, gold jewelry + bubble necklace moment, neutral sandals, a raffia bag, sunnies… and suddenly I look like I have my life together even if I absolutely do not 😂

Same comfy summer vibe.
Just less 2016.

We really are a special generation 😂🤍

Raised on AIM away messages, TGIF, and “drink water from the hose and be home before dark”…

and now we’re out here managing careers, sports schedules, grocery bills, teenage attitudes, and everyone’s emotional wellbeing while trying to remember why we walked into the kitchen 😵‍💫

But honestly?
I think we’re doing a pretty incredible job💪

To the millennial moms carrying a lot right now…
still showing up, still loving hard, still making life fun for your kids, still trying your best even when you’re exhausted…

this is your reminder that you’re doing better than you think 🤍

won’t think you’re cool anymore.”

Meanwhile mine still want to grab smoothies, steal my fries, hype up my outfits, and willingly hang out with me… so I guess they didn’t get the memo 😂🤍

Maybe it’s because I still dance in the kitchen.
Maybe it’s because I embarrass them daily.
Or maybe it’s because when you build a home full of love, laughter, sarcasm, and late-night chocolate chip cookie baking sessions… your kids actually like being around you.

And honestly?
That might be one of my favorite parts of motherhood so far 🥹🤍

I used to wonder what it would feel like to have a girl someday 🤍

But somewhere between the muddy shoes, endless snacks, loud wrestling matches, baseball hats, tight hugs, and hearing “mom watch this” 400 times a day… I realized I didn’t miss out on anything.

Getting to raise kind, respectful, loving good men is one of the greatest gifts of my life 🥹🤍

Boy mom life is loud, chaotic, emotional, hilarious, exhausting, and so incredibly special.

And if that’s you too…

I’d love for you to stay awhile for the cute outfits and boy mom chaos 🤍

Millennial Mom Uniform Upgrade Ep. 27 🤍

Retiring the low-rise black leggings and muscle tank combo for something way cuter 🙌😂

Swapped it for a matching blue biker short set, ruffle socks, light-colored Brooks, grabbed Louis, and suddenly my neighborhood walk feels less “surviving the day” and more “hot millennial mom summer” energy 💅🐩

Same comfy vibe.
Just way cooler.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKActive

Skinny jeans had a good run… but I’m not fighting for circulation, dignity, and my life in a restaurant bathroom anymore 😂🙌

Sorry not sorry.
Wide legs, straight legs, barrel jeans forever.

Elder millennials… we survived. HALLELUJAH🙌

#LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear #LTKootd

Some days I’m locked in, productive, checking everything off my list✔️…

and some days I’m like
this outfit is cute 😊 , my coffee is hitting💃,
and honestly?? that feels like enough 😂

I swear getting dressed actually changes the whole mood
like I might still be doing the same things…
but I feel way better doing them
And at this point in life??

I’m choosing cute, comfy, and a little delusional confidence every time✌️

Millennial Mom Uniform Upgrade ✨ Ep. 26

I’m sorry but the skinny jeans + waterfall cardigan combo was giving
“2016 girls night at the chain restaurant by the mall” 😂

So we upgraded.
Out:
❌ skinny jeans fighting for their life
❌ ankle booties that just weren’t doing the outfit any favors anymore
❌ silver jewelry from our statement necklace era
In:
✨ wide-leg jeans that are actually flattering
✨ a Dolly-Parton-inspired denim jacket because this is apparently the most western I’ll ever become 😂
✨ cowgirl boots, matching belt + shoulder bag, gold jewelry… and suddenly I look like the friend who says “just one drink” and accidentally closes down the patio😆

Cute. Comfy. Slightly country. Mildly dangerous. 🤍😂

This is one of those pieces I didn’t expect to wear this much…
and now I’m reaching for it on repeat 🤍

Work days, errands, quick walks… even travel

This one is from @titlenine and it just makes getting dressed easy.

fitted up top, relaxed through the skirt
and the built-in bra?? game changer

But the part I didn’t expect to love this much…
the pockets
Deep pockets + a zip pocket for my phone, keys, money
so I don’t even need a bag half the time

And the hidden cinch at the hem??
you can adjust it depending on what you’re doing

I can throw it on and go
and still feel like myself😎

Which lately is the goal
simple, comfortable, but still put together
This is that dress❤️

No woman has ever sat down on Mother’s Day and thought:
“you know what would make me feel sexy and appreciated? …a vacuum” 😂

A mixer?
An air fryer?
A new mop?

Babe… that’s a random Tuesday purchase.

That is not a Mother’s Day gift.

Your husband isn’t out here saying:
“Honestly honey… I’d really love a new weed trimmer for Father’s Day 🥹”

ABSOLUTELY NOT.
That man is buying the lawn mower whenever he wants it…
and then asking for a full day of golf, beer, naps, zero responsibilities, and uninterrupted bathroom time for Father’s Day 😂

Meanwhile moms are over here like:
“I don’t need anything 🥺”

Ashley.
Yes you do.

You want a spa day.
You want high end skincare.
You want the sexiest pair of heels.
You want expensive sunglasses.
You want the cute purse.
You want a night in a hotel by yourself.

You want ONE DAY where nobody needs anything from you.
THAT is the vibe.

And honestly?
Let’s normalize asking for what we actually want🙌.

This mommin business is hard 😂
We deserve to get EXACTLY what we want for Mother’s Day.

Get the vacuum next week✌️.

#LTKMothersDay #LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare

Like I’m sorry but if my outfit is this cute??

I’m gonna twirl a little, grab a coffee, and pretend I have my life together for a minute

These jeans are the ✨Good American x Dolly Parton✨ collab and I get it now…

they just do something for you
Comfy, flattering, a little extra… exactly how I want to feel walking into work

I used to think feeling uncomfortable meant I was doing something wrong.

Like maybe I wasn’t ready yet…
or maybe I should tone it down…
or maybe I should just stay where it felt safe.

But lately I’ve realized…
every time I feel that little knot in my chest…
it’s usually right before something really good.

Not because it’s easy.
But because it’s new.
And maybe this is your reminder too🫶

you’re not behind.
you’re not incapable.
you’re just stepping into something different.

And that feeling?
That’s part of it. 🤍

Millennial Mom Upgrade — Ep. 24 (The Cool Sports Mom Edit)😎

POV: You’re heading to the baseball field in your “safe” outfit…

Black leggings, black top, black sneakers… and somehow you still feel blah.

It’s not you. It’s the outfit.
Because this is what it looks like when we stop playing it safe and actually get dressed again 👀

➡️ Swap the black leggings → wide-leg leopard pants
(still comfy… just way more fun)
➡️ Trade the basic black top → relaxed red tee
(a little color = instant personality)
➡️ Retire the outdated black tennis shoes → red adidas sneakers
(sporty, but make it intentional)
➡️ Add the sports mom hat
(because yes, we’re at the field… but we’re still cute)
➡️ Ditch the belt bag → leather crossbody
(same function, way more elevated)
And suddenly…

you’re not just at the game.
You feel like you again.✨

This is your reminder that getting dressed isn’t about doing more…
it’s about choosing pieces that actually bring you back to life ❤️

✨Follow along for more millennial mom outfit upgrades that feel like you—but better.

Someone once told me “don’t ever lose that spark 🔥 ”…
and I don’t think they realized I’d build my whole life around keeping it

Even now in my 40s…
I still feel like that little girl who always marched to the beat of her own drum 🥁

The one who did things her own way
who felt things deeply
who just knew who she was, even if it didn’t always make sense to anyone else

I’m not for everyone🤭…
but I’ve learned I don’t need to be✌️

Life gets busy… roles change… seasons shift
but that spark🔥 ?
I’ve never been willing to let it go

And if you’ve been feeling a little disconnected from yours🔥…
maybe it’s not gone
maybe it’s just waiting for you to come back to it 🤍

If this felt like you… you’re in the right place here🫶
