In May, my 66-year-old mother broke her ankle and our whole world shifted overnight. Suddenly she couldn't walk, couldn't sleep comfortably, couldn't even get to the bathroom on her own. As her daughter and caregiver, I had to figure it out …fast. What followed was a crash course in mobility aids, comfort products, and creative problem-solving. This list is everything that actually helped us get through those early non-weight-bearing weeks. If you're a caregiver in the same boat, I hope this saves you the hours of research it took me to find these gems.

My 66-year-old mom broke her ankle and discovered she has a hidden superpower … the ability to watch TV endlessly. 😂 This is her running list of everything she's watched during her recovery. I can barely keep up, but I'll do my best!

Between caregiver duties and life, I still manage to sneak in some screen time! Here's my running monthly log of everything I've watched … organized by month so you can see what I was into at any given time.

Sensitive skin doesn't mean you have to skip the glam! I put together this soft glam routine using mostly drugstore and mid-range finds from ULTA, all gentle enough for reactive and hypersensitive skin. These are my actual picks, tested on my own sensitive skin, so you can shop my exact routine or swap for what works best for you!
