I am smitten with my new light-up tins. They even come filled with shortbread cookies and cocoa! I found these @target and I also have them linked in my bio. #marksandspencer #christmasdecor #christmasgifts #giftideas #targetfinds #holidaydecorating #christmasmusthave #holidaymusthave @marksandspencerfood

When it comes to Christmas trees do you prefer real or fake?
Every year we head up to the Santa Cruz mountains to cut down our tree. It’s a fun tradition that we’ve done since the kids were little. Although now we do find ourselves discussing the option of maybe getting a fake tree next year. Has anyone ever went from real to fake and regretted it? Or do you love your fake tree? Now that our tree is cut, up, and decorated I can’t imagine having anything else. #christmastree #realtree #christmastreefarm #santacruzmountains #momlifebestlife #blackroadchristmastreefarm

Birthday Dinner! Another year older and another year wiser, although the jury is still out on the wiser part. 😂
We had a fantastic Teppanyaki dinner and are next headed to Disneyland over thanksgiving break to continue the celebrating. I figure now that I only have a year left in my 40s, I might as well make it a year to remember! #happybirthday #thisis49 #teppenyaki #kyotopalace #momlife #momlifebestlife

I love our family game nights - especially the ones filled with lots of fun, bonding, and laughter! Have you had a family game night recently??
Because our last game night was unforgettable with the new game “My Parents Might be Martians” - making it one of those memorable nights. This game is from the new line of games called Kitten Games which is part of the Exploding Kittens family of games. @gameofkittens
I love that these games are fun for all ages, easy to play, and keep my kids coming back for more. You can find this game and more like it right now at Target - check the link in my bio!!

I just think that a my phone sometimes gives me a better idea of what the outfit actually looks like. I just bought the skirt and the shoes and I’m trying to figure out what top to pair with them. Do you like top #1, 2, or 3 best? I have both the skirt and the shoes linked in my bio. I think they’re both perfect and fun for the holiday season. #holidaystyle #holidaystyles #tryon #whatiwear #fashionover40 #styleover40 #ltk #ltkfashion #whatiweartoday #holidayfashion

“If I could turn back time”
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I love when we change the clocks back! I love my extra hour of sleep, and I love that it’s finally daylight again when I get up in the morning.
Now ask me again in April when we spring forward, and my opinion is sure to be a little different. That one is always so much harder than the one in the fall. Do you like or hate daylight savings time? #daylightsavings #fallback #unpopularopinions

Do you pay attention to the “best by” date on your canned and boxed goods?
I started going through my cupboard and noticed probably half of my canned and boxed goods were at least a year or two past the best-by date. Now, I looked it up online, and according to what I found, the food is pretty much good forever. The sites that I found explain that the food is just “best” if you use it by these dates. But I just don’t know! Do you toss it? Do you ignore it? What do you do? Just curious. I have more about this up on my stories right now. #bestby #bestbydate #expirationdate #momlife #momlifebelike #crazymomlife

Who else is just absolutely dragging this week? I am usually ready to dive right into decorating for the holiday season, but I may have to take a week or so before I start thinking about that this year. This having Halloween on a Tuesday is for the birds.
I’m going to take down Halloween decorations this weekend, but until then I’m going to enjoy this beautiful weather that we’re currently having. It’s also a perfect opportunity to break out my beautiful silk scarf from @theresadelgado . If you haven’t checked her out, she has seriously the most beautiful and luxurious silk scarves ever!
