A mom of two seeking a little sanity in the everyday.
To me, blonde isn’t just a hair color, it is a state of mind. Blonde has always made me feel bright, optimistic, and that I can take on the world. I have been blonde since my teen years, and I have found that just like life, maintaining blonde takes lot of work and a ton of maintenance to keep those those dark roots from taking over.
“Blonde isn’t just a hair color, it is a state of mind…”
Today, I am happily married raising our two children in the San Francisco Bay area. I am still blonde, but I am finding that blonde is even harder to maintain while navigating the trials and tribulations of parenthood and life over 40. So, come be blonde with me as I share my experiences and tips on everything from family life, to our experiences with learning disabilities, and how I have learned to find sanity in the everyday.

Do you enjoying dressing up on vacation? I’ve definitely come to realize that there are two camps here. People who love dressing up on vacation and people who do not. We obviously love it! Which are you? #vacationstyle #travelstyle #fashionover40 #styleover40 #whatiweartoday #rivieramaya ...#mexicovacation
No need for all that expensive skin care, contouring, and highlighters. All you need is a healthy dose of Mexican humidity and some stairs! My skin has never looked better! 😂 #vacationmode #justforfun #sarcasm #skincareover40 #skincaretips #skincareroutine #mexicovacation #playadelcarmen ...#rivieramaya

Getting our Money’s Worth. #allinclusive #mexico #funny
We’ve got to get our money’s worth, right? 😂 Our annual Girl’s trip has begun. If you’ve been watching my stories, you know that we’ve already hit quite a few snafus, but we are making it work and having a blast. #allinclusive #allinclusiveresort #funny #rivieramaya #playadelcarmen ...#mexicotrip #wanderlust #momstrip #momgetaway
May the 4th be with you! Where are all my Star Wars fans? I thought this was a good opportunity to show off my new popcorn bucket that I got on our last Disney trip! I just love him. #maythe4thbewithyou #jabbathehutt #disneypopcornbucket #disneymagicmoments

Sometimes you’ve just got to post a silly reel and screw with the algorithm a little. 😂 This was too cute of a trend to not hop on, although it was a lot harder to hop on it with an 85lb fur ball! This was as far as I can get her off the ground! #goldenretriever #dogsofinstagram #johnnycash ...#justforfun
I don’t know about you, but my favorite type of shopping is vacation shopping! I am headed to my annual girl’s trip to Mexico this weekend and I have been shopping like crazy for that and for Greece this summer! What do you think, are they all keepers? I have them all linked on my LTK.

Just for reference I’m 5”11, 167 pounds and all of these range from medium to large. I just wanted to share that because sometimes it’s hard to know what the clothes look like if you don’t know how tall or short a person is.

Tips for Traveling to Europe with Kids
Don’t you love discovering new things in familiar places? I had to update an older blog post to add a new favorite place to relax at Disneyland.
I can’t believe that we only recently discovered The Golden Horseshoe! We’ve probably walked by it 100 times but never went in. It’s ...seriously the best spot to kick back, grab a quick bite, and relax on a hot day at Disneyland. Do yourself a favor and be sure to get a root beer float! So yummy! You can read more about this and more of our Favorite places to relax at Disneyland up on the blog. Link in bio. Have you ever discovered something new in a familiar place?#disneylandcalifornia #goldenhorseshoe #disneydining #disneytips #disneymom #disneyfamily #disneyland #disneymagicmoments

Yay for sunny weather! I don’t know how it is in your neck of the woods, but it seems like we’ve had an extra long, cool stretch of winter and spring this year, but it seems that we finally might be turning a corner.
This past weekend was finally warm enough to put the top down, take... a drive, and enjoy the California sun! Do you consider yourself a warm weather person or a cooler weather person?
By the way, if you were in the market for some new shorts for the summer, I highly recommend checking out these by @democracyclothing . They are seriously the most comfortable and flattering jeans shorts that I’ve ever owned. And I am picky when it comes to shorts and jeans! I have them linked on my LTK and in my bio. https://liketk.it/4EleG #shopltk #ltkfashion #jeansshorts #summerstyle #whatiweartoday #fashionover40 #styleover40 #corvette #littleredcorvette

#AD Changing our garden watering system to a drip irrigation has already helped us save so much water. Now the water only goes directly to the plants that need it. No more wasted water from sprinkler heads watering spots that don’t need it. @saveourwater

Wishing I was still back in my happy place. I may not be there, but at least it’s Friday!
On a separate note, has anyone else jumped on the belt bag craze? I got my first one last year for my travels. I became so obsessed with it that I haven’t used a purse now in over a year! I have ...never liked carrying around a bunch of stuff so these are just so convenient, and they are perfect for travel. They have a bunch of really cute colors out right now perfect for spring and summer. I have them linked on my LTk. I have the Link in bio. Have a Happy weekend! #disneycaliforniaadventure #fridayvibes #happyweekend https://liketk.it/4E0zo #ltkfashion #shopltk @shop.ltk
