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

Pumpkin bars are the unsung hero of holiday dessert tables. They are soft, spiced, and way too easy to “taste test” a few too many times. Just a warning: if you make them too early, they might mysteriously disappear before the big day.
I have the full recipe plus the step-by-step directions linked in my bio. #pumpkinbars #pumpkinrecipes #thanksgivingdesserts #holidaybaking #holidaydesserts #easybaking

It’s officially Christmastime at Disneyland! It’s my favorite time of year to visit. I can’t wait to experience all the festivities and try all the holiday food next week. Who else is going? #disneyland #disneylandchristmas #disneychristmasdecorations #disneychristmas

The Peppermill was always one of my go-to late-night spots in Las Vegas - especially when I was craving those cozy retro vibes. The food is delicious, the portions are huge, and it won’t break the bank. And the best part? They have three different happy hours throughout the week. Have you ever eaten at the Peppermill? #peppermill #peppermillvegas #lasvegas #lasvegasrestaurants #lasvegaseats #oldvegas

Do you love the retro glitz and glitter of old-school Vegas, or are you team sleek, chic, and ultra-modern?
I spent the weekend hopping between both, and honestly, each has its own kind of sparkle. Which do you prefer? #lasvegas #oldvegas #vegashotels

How important is a good pool day on vacation? For me...absolutely essential.
Lounging by the pool is the only time I feel like I can truly slow down and recharge.
And with all the wet weather we’re having right now in the Bay Area, I’m extra grateful for the perfect Vegas sunshine this past weekend. I was basically Goldilocks, not too hot, not too cold...just right. #lasvegas #poolday #nomadlasvegas

Turns out what happens in Vegas… takes a few days to recover from when you’re 50. 😂
This past weekend, we celebrated my bestie’s milestone in true Vegas style. Memories were made, voices were lost, and steps were definitely exceeded.
What’s your favorite thing to do in Las Vegas?

Seriously, they shouldn’t be surprised when people want to carry on their bags. People usually have baggage when they travel - no reason to get snippy about it. 🤦♀️ #southwestairlines #airtravel #baggagefees #traveling

Would you pay extra for premium economy?
Since I was flying solo, I figured why not give it a try! This was just one leg of a 29-hour travel day, so for a 12-hour flight, the extra legroom and comfy seat were totally worth it.
A couple of downsides though. One of my tray was broken, and they ran out of chicken before they got to me. But honestly, the beef was pretty good, so no major complaints there - especially since I got some good rest, which is a rarity for me when I fly. #premiumeconomy #upgrade #isitworthit #flightreview #airlinereview #traveltips #travelexperience #cathaypacific

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.

If you travel a lot (or know someone who does), you need this backpack!
I finally upgraded my old travel backpack to the Zephyr from @blackvoyage, and honestly, I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
It fits so much more, has a spot for everything, and best of all... my shoulders and back aren’t screaming at me after a travel day.

One last Halloween pic for the feed! It’s a rare moment when I get a family photo that’s officially “teen approved” for the ’gram.
If you have teens, you know what I’m talking about! Over the past few months, you might’ve noticed it’s been mostly just me showing up here. It turns out my Instagram got a little lonelier as my kids got a little pickier about being featured (unless it’s a paid shoot, of course 😂).
So here’s a family photo while I can still get one, because who knows when that’ll happen again! #momlifebelike #momofteens #happyhalloween
