Welcome to 40ishandThriving

 Welcome to 40ishandthriving!!  

If you have found this blog you are most likely a 40ish Mom who is ready to begin her " Re-Claiming Me Era". Well, you have come to the right place! First, a little bit about me. I am a 42 year old wife and Mom of two boys, ages 12 and almost 10, living in the Northern Virginia area. I left my Dental Career before my first son was born in 2010 and continued to be a stay at home Mom ever since. I finally decided it was time to start focusing some of my time back onto myself a few years back, pre-covid. I started with a fitness goal to be the healthiest, fittest, strongest version of myself before I turned the dreaded big 40! Well, boom Covid hit, and not only flipped all of our lives upside down, it had plans to also de-rail my fitness journey. While quarantining in our family home in SC, I went for a run on the beach and injured my back pretty significantly, which ended up needed to be surgically fused in multiple places,...long story short my Fitness journey came to a screeching halt for a bit. Well, at exactly a year post surgery I began my journey all over again, and haven't looked back.. Step 1 to "Re-Claiming Me Era" in progress. Next item on the agenda, healthy skin,,with a side of hope and prayer for less wrinkles. Let's Get to it! On 40ishandthriving I am going to test some of the most hyped skin care lines, so you don't have to and give you my 100% honest non-sponsored feedback on how my skin reacts and it's results. 

We all know the busy lives all of us Moms are thrown into each and every day, between School activities, homework, household chores, sports how could we forget the constant chaos of having two children in Sports. I wanted to create this blog to create relatable content, covering fitness, skin care for our delicate aging skin and beautifully strong bodies with a little bit of Fashion and humor thrown in! We are going to get into it all, the good the bad, the ugly together!! Lets start our "Re-Claiming Me" Era together ladies!!

Life Hacks For Universal Theme Parks

Booking a family trip to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure can be stressful no matter how big or small your family is. After a few trips with my family as a kid, and now as a Mom of two boys, with my Dad who we affectionately refer to as Disney/Universal Pop, I have a few tips to help you stress a little less, and enjoy the parks and your stay to the absolute fullest.  First things first where to stay?? Universal is unlike Disney in the fact that you can add Express Passes to your park tickets that you can use all day ANYTIME you want. Unfortunately, if you are staying off property these carry a hefty price tag on top of the already expensive park ticket price. Best ways to beat this: Staying at one of their top tier hotels of their Resorts. TRUST me its pays for itself. There are multiple levels of Hotels on property, but only the top tier Hotels offer Express Passes with your stay, as well as early park hours for resort guests...
