Here, we talk about the full version of this chapter: motherhood after the busiest years, marriage after decades together, mental health, beauty and skincare, shopping and retail therapy, family, career pivots, slow mornings, and the freedom that comes with finally having room for yourself.
You’ll find honest stories, thoughtful conversations, products and recommendations I genuinely stand behind, and the behind-the-scenes of what I’m building next. Some of it is deeply personal. Some of it is funny as hell. All of it is real.
For most of my life, I was in survival mode, focused on building a better life than the one I came from. And somewhere along the way, that meant building a 20+ year career developing campaigns for some of the biggest brands in the country, while also raising four kids, fighting for my marriage, and figuring it all out without a mom to call or a blueprint to follow.
Somewhere between client meetings, deadlines, carpool lines, and real life, I learned how to pay attention. To people. To what mattered to them. To the difference between something that simply gets seen vs. something that actually connects. That instinct built my career. It’s also the same instinct behind Mommy Day Drinks.
But after decades of building brands, raising a family, and creating a better life, I found myself in a chapter I hadn’t planned for. My kids grew up. The pace shifted. And for the first time in decades, I wasn’t just focused on building a life for everyone else. I was finally learning how to live inside the one I had built.
Mommy Day Drinks grew from that chapter. A place where everything I’ve lived, everything I’ve learned, and everything I know about people, stories, culture, and connection could finally come together. Because too many women spend decades building a life they never give themselves permission to enjoy.....I’m not doing that.
Get a closer look at the life I’m living now, what I’m loving, what I’m learning, and everything I think is worth sharing along the way.
