This list is basically what happens when I tell myself I’m “just baking a few cookies” and suddenly my kitchen looks like Mrs. Claus’ Pinterest board. These are my Christmas baking ride-or-dies — the mixing bowls, cake stands, aprons, and tiny festive touches that make holiday desserts feel like a full-blown event. Whether you’re whipping up sugar cookies with your kids or staging the world’s cutest dessert display, this list is here to make your Christmas kitchen look as sweet as it smells.

Hobby Lobby Christmas Finds (aka the reason my cart is full again) If you’ve ever said “I’m just running in for one thing” and then blacked out somewhere between the gingerbread aisle and the nutcracker section; welcome, friend. This is for you. This list is full of the Hobby Lobby Christmas finds I’m currently obsessed with: giant pastel nutcrackers, nostalgic gingerbread decor, wall art that looks like it came straight out of a Hallmark movie, and of course, all the fake candles that keep me from accidentally burning down my house. Basically, if it screams cozy, sparkly, slightly over-the-top holiday magic; it’s in here. Because yes, I decorate early. And I regret nothing.

This list is filled with my current favorite pieces that I wear on repeat. Every item is affordable, comfortable, and designed with a flattering fit for midsize and plus-size bodies (sizes 12-16). From everyday essentials to chic elevated basics, these finds make it easy to feel put-together while staying practical for mom life, work, and everything in between.

Makeup should feel simple, flattering, and reliable—especially for moms over 35 who are balancing busy days with wanting to feel their best. This list is filled with my tried-and-true favorites: products that keep up with long schedules, flatter mature skin, and deliver the kind of results that make you feel polished without hours in front of a mirror. Inside this bag, you’ll find foundations that hydrate without caking, concealers that brighten without settling, and powders that smooth without drying. I’ve included bronzers, blushes, and multi-tasking sticks that blend effortlessly (even with fingers), plus mascaras and brow products that stay put all day—no raccoon eyes, no smudges. Every product here has earned its spot because it performs beautifully for everyday wear and makes busy routines feel easier. Whether you want a skin tint for “no-makeup” days, a cult-classic concealer that hides tired eyes, or the perfect neutral palette to take you from carpool to date night, these picks deliver. I’ve even added my favorite setting spray to keep it all locked in from morning coffee to bedtime stories. ✨ These are the products I reach for daily—the ones I’ve repurchased, tested through mom-life chaos, and can honestly say work. If you’re looking to refresh your makeup bag with products that flatter mature skin and simplify your routine, this is your shortcut to a polished, everyday look.

I love all things home decor but I am a queen on a budget. I have made so many incredible home decor discoveries on a very small budget.

Calling all content creators! I have been working on social media for years and here are a few things that I use regularly in my journey as a content creator

These are the at-home coffee products that I use every day! I love making freshly pressed coffee and espresso lattes at home (so does my wallet). I deserve to have tasty coffee!! And even better, that is possible outside of the coffee shop. I first discovered freshly pressed coffee at a friend's house and I was BLOWN AWAY! It was so delicious, I didn't even need creamer. I will never go back. As for the lattes; I got a Nespresso machine for Christmas and it is AMAZING! I use it to pull the perfect espresso shot. I love it for iced or hot lattes. SO GOOD!
