Sharing family, travel and lifestyle as a mom in my 40’s. Every day I find joy in the little moments. I love to save money, create traditions and celebrate the ordinary. Even at home, we try to create magic every day! I love to share tricks, tips and anything that makes me smile - in the hopes it will make YOU smile too!
I LOVE gift guides and helping other parents find those perfect gifts for teens and adults, and of course I’ll always share how to save so you can stay in budget! Giving generously and thoughtfully is truly an art when you need to watch the bank account!

I'm so glad you're here, cheers!

Ultimate Sunday Reset: Cleaning, Shopping, & Organizing Hacks
Loved as always!!!
Oh Easter coming up too, wondering 🤔 what you will be doing for Easter ❤
I'm still trying to hold on to Christmas and you're on Easter ...lol
Love those sweat suits!! Your kids are going to love them ❤
Mel I am totally going to steal my daughter’s when it eventually gets pushed to the back of the closet!! 🤣
Those loaves look delicious. Got to try the loaf pan topper trick!
Yes! Game changer!
Never knew about the float test
I used to leave my jars in luke warm water, over winter
That is a great idea! One morning my starter didn’t rise because it was 65 in my house overnight 😬
Commenting as I watch my way through, I made/started my own starter on 1st April, 2024. As that is "Sour Dough day". I was making a lot of bread, but in October i went Gluten free, so my starter is waiting in the fridge until Im ready to make more. I better feed her! Im back eating gluten, so I will start making more agsin.
Let me know how your bread turns out! Just fed my starter for a fresh loaf tomorrow ! ❤️
loved this❤ im 49 and i gave up fb on my 40th bday, i was mom comparing everything i was doing to ppl i didnt even know lol Loved what you said about the kids growing up, i have a 16 and almost 13 and ive been feeling changes already 😢
I hear you!! It’s such a hard adjustment when your kids get older. And YES FB can be so toxic. I don’t miss it at all! Thank you for watching!!
It's essential to have times to look forward to, excited for you and your hubby and your Disney holiday ❤❤❤
Yes, absolutely! It is so important to have things to look forward to!
Facebook, not my thing now either! I still use it for my volunteering gig. That's it!
It is such a time suck! 💯!
Hi Jodie, I took gave up drinking alcohol early, well not as early as you, I was 27-28.
Isn’t it the best? Makes such a difference!!! ❤️
This was such a good video! Thanks for sharing. Things that bring me joy are taking walks around our property, baking all the goodies and breads, spending time with my boys and husband. I also enjoy adult coloring books, reading, and most importantly spending time with God and in the word. ❤
I LOVE all those things too! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
I love working out, doing mystery puzzles and playing my oculus ❤
Yes! Working out is one of mine! Thank you for watching ❤️
Ohhh what are mystery puzzles?
Yes Ma’am… ❤❤❤ the little things are the big things in a joyful life!
💯!! Thanks for watching!
Waking up to the sunrise every morning and having a beautiful family and cat gives me joy. Having my coffee this morning and watching this video has influenced me to go outside, find new hobbies, and learn how to find new joys in life! Thank you for posting this video, Jodie! 🥰
You definitely wake up to the sunrise! Thank you Callie! ❤️
Why would anyone wear pimple patches out. Just an honest question. I don’t get that why would anyone draw attention to zits
Ikr! I think it’s just a trend right now.
A girl where's them to work
I did not think they were intended to wear out 😮
Wow, that bread turned out to look so good and I know it probably tasted even better. I also saw Love Meg video on that. She is the whole reason I started my TH-cam. I need to try to make some of that bread myself.
Yes! LoveMeg is adorable and I love her channel!! Try the bread! It’s great!
Looks delicious 😋 I’ve been excitedly waiting for this video Thank you for sharing 🥰
You are so welcome! Try it - it’s soooo good - I promise! ❤️
These are some great Valentines gifts. Also, I never would’ve noticed the shirt if you had an app pointed it out nobody’s gonna notice that really unless they go back and compare the videos I think you can be wearing the slouch sweats and as long as you have your hair done, which to me, your hair looks done right now and maybe a piece of jewelry on, it just makes you look more put together no matter what
Thank you Vickie! Aren’t we always most critical of ourselves? Thanks for watching ❤️
@ yes we are!
That bread looks fantastic! With some melted butter on it! Sign me up! Love these types of videos, Jodie!
Thank you so much! I'm addicted to sourdough - it's the best! I make this every weekend - it’s so good!
Trying to practice to do my daughter hair for her birthday at Disney all the reservations were taken ! So I have to do it myself I hope she feels just as special
She will! I always bought a new princess dress and packed it - surprised my daughter with it on the trip and did her hair!
Such great gift ideas thank you so much for sharing 🥰
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Hi Jodie! i have a question. My sister doesn't know what to get her boyfriend for Valentine's Day. They are both 15 years old.
Hi Mackenzie!! peek through my Christmas guides - I had a lot for boys!! Lots of different options depending on what he enjoys. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@Jodie_Mo ❤️
Was the surgery due to tonsilstones?
Partially - tonsils also swelled terrible with sickness - but yes the tonsil stones were awful.
These are awesome gift ideas!
Thank you so much! I LOVE gift guides (a little too much! ❤️🤣)
Your gift ideas are always the best!!!
Thank you so much! I enjoy making gift guides a little too much - haha! It’s like shopping but I don’t have to spend money 🤣❤️
@ I really enjoy them. I have kids ages 5-19 and there are hardly any gift guides for my older kids on here. Please keep making them. ❤️
I absolutely will! Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
Would love your sourdough recipe 😊
It is my FAVORITE! I will definitely share soon! ❤️
Hello Jody, hi Shelby. You’re very busy. Glad you took us along. Looks so pretty, sorry the shoes don’t fit. Yes share. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Thanks NonnaGrace! We love having you along! 🥰
Watching this video makes me miss my Mom in Florida! I loved this video!
Aw! That’s so sweet! I miss my mom too! ❤️ she is hours away and I only see her a few times a year!
Just turned 39 and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for the wise words! Bless you.
You are so welcome! Blessings to you too! ❤️
She looks so beautiful. My favorite color is pink so I love the dress. I remember all the shopping trips with my girls when they still lived at home such fun.
Thank you Vickie!
Why am I just learning about sneaker balls? Thank you!!! Better late than never💜
They are the best!! ❤️ thanks for watching!!
Late to the stinky shoe party. They work great
Just gorgeous ❤ Love how you cap the dress budget.
Thank you Mel! It’s so easy to get carried away at TJ Maxx 😂
Love your vlog and I agree in keeping life simple and as stress free as possible. She looked gorgeous in that shade of pink! 🌸
Yes! Thank you! Isnt life complicated enough without us making it worse?! 😂
Another wonderful video!!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Perfect dress, she looks so pretty. I hope she has a great time at the dance. I would love the recipe it looks delicious 🤩
Thanks so much! I was so happy with the dress too!! I will definitely share how to make the sourdough ~ I’m addicted!
Everything you said I needed to hear, because I thought I was getting older and mean but I am just like that these days I am all about being kind and not worrying about being nice, Nice gets you nowhere kind is doing the right thing...thank you for that
💯!! I always exhausted myself being the nicest, most giving and volunteering person - which I do not regret. But this is a new season of life. Let’s embrace it! Thank you for watching ❤️
When I turned 40 I just didnt give a f*** anymore on trying to please Everyone!!!
💯!!! That could have been my thumbnail! 🤣
Great cake!
Thanks for watching! We LOVE ice cream! 🍦 guilty pleasure for sure!
I’m okay with being in my 40’s, but I don’t want my body to feel older than I am. Great advice! I need to add in strength training again too.
Strength was not my favorite- I was always a cardio girl! But I have grown to appreciate it because it helps for sure! Thanks for watching! There is definitely more confidence that comes with being a little older! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the note idea!!! ❤
It’s such a special and inexpensive way to celebrate! Thank you!! ❤️
You don't realize how little you are moving (when you live in suburbia and work a desk job) until you start measuring it with a pedometer. Movement is so important. Self care too - so important at every stage of life :) Great video!
I was SHOCKED when I saw how little I was moving when I transitioned to a desk job. I felt so tired too - even though I did exercise. But 8 hours of sitting isn’t erased by 30 min of exercise! Thanks for watching!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@Jodie_Mo Lack of movement is, strangely enough, draining. Again, great video. You have a really nice channel. So glad I found it.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm going to keep going.
Keep at it! It takes a while to get a groove but you will!!! ❤️
I have a walking pad under my desk due to the frigid cold in New York. It helps me keep my 10,000-step goal daily! Love this video!
I need to get one of those! I was thinking about it! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I’m hoping to get one of these too. A lot of my coworkers have them.
One of my coworkers does too! I might look into it as well.
Hi Jodi, thank you. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Great advice. Exercising is so important not only for your health but also for your mind. Yes 🙌 always speak up it is so vital it makes you feel so much better when you let your emotions out rather than bottling them up. Thank you for sharing this awesome video 🤩
It took me forever to speak up! Now it’s almost addicting 🤣
You gave me some great ideas, I have 4 teen Granddaughters, always trying to think of what to get them.....
Teen girls are my wheelhouse - lol!
Love this! ❤
Beautiful sharing, Jodie! You are such a cool mum!! ❤❤❤
Aw, thank you so much! You’re so sweet! ❤️
