Setting up the traditional Easter shots for the family 😉 #irish #ireland #whiskey #irishwhiskey #properno12 #conormcgregor #momlife #easter #2019 @thenotoriousmma @properwhiskey #irishfamily #family

My parents took the girls to spend Good Friday with them. Partly to give me a day to myself and partly because my Irish Catholic parents want to ensure the girls are getting a religious education. I’m raising a glass to my fellow moms no matter the culture, religion, etc. Being a mom is one of the hardest, most rewarding jobs and I wouldn’t trade one day. Well....except those I’ve been puked on; I could’ve done without those 😉 #momlife #goodfriday #irishmom #irish #mom #irishwhiskey #properno12 #conormcgregor @properwhiskey

Just saw the new Penguin movie by Disney Nature and it was really cute! Ed Helms did a great job with the narration, he really humanized ‘Steve’ along with his wife and kids. @disney @disneystudios @disneynature #momlife @edhelms #penguins #daughter #autism #autistic #autistickids #autismisbeautiful @amctheatres

Doing my part to help the dwindling bee population. They love our lavender plants #spring #sunshine #bee #beepopulation #lavender #lavenderplant #nature

I hung my blanket outside today to dry and it smells like sunshine and flowers. It’s the little things in life 😍 #momlife #spring #sunshine #flowers #blanket #life #bestthingsinlifearefree #nature

As i ‘wine down Wednesday’ I’m so glad my Wednesday Rosé by Jonathan Bennett arrived today because I discovered I’m NOT smarter than a 4th grader today as I struggled to help my daughter with her math homework on angles. My brain needs the break from desperate google searches to find lessons as we played with a protractor trying to do 4 lousy questions My daughter told me I need a math tutor lol At least my day ends on a high note as this delicious wine somehow tastes sweet and sexy at the same time. @nockingpoint #burnbrunch #nockingpoint #nockingpointwines @jonathandbennett #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #daughter #notsmarterthana4thgrader #notsmarterthanafourthgrader #math #homework #angles #wine #rosé #wednesday #nighttime #winedownwednesday #winedown #sweet #sexy

SOOOOOO PROUD!!!!!! Just found out my daughter succeeded at her audition and made District Honor Choir ❤️ The kid who once couldn’t talk, socialize and we were told she had no future due to her Autism has fought back against the naysayers and PROVED Autism should NOT automatically close doors and write off your future! #autism #autistic #autistickids #daughter #autismisreal #autismawareness #autismisbeautiful #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #proud #sing #choir #honorchoir #music

She wanted to see Shazam for her birthday and it was tons of fun! Loved the 2 extra scenes and can’t wait for the sequel 😍 @shazammovie @dccomics #daughter #momlife #movie #shazam #shazammovie #birthday @amctheatres #amctheaters #amc

My daughter turned 10 today. I saved this bottle of Sauvignon from Nocking Point just for this moment. The co-founder, Andrew Harding, also has a daughter and he lets her have input on the label’s art direction so it seemed appropriate to save her wine to toast my little girl’s birthday. My daughter and I have not had a bumpy free decade together but I wouldn’t trade one moment of my time with her. Now that she’s asleep and I sit here reminiscing my years with her grant me this moment to offer a toast - “May she always know love, always know she’s wanted, and never doubt this world is better with her in it. Slainte!” Thankfully Nocking Point does not disappoint as this wine is the perfect gift to end this perfect day @nockingpoint @andrewnharding #nockingpoint #nockingpointwines #nockingpointwineclub #sauvignonblanc #sauvignon #momlife #daughter #birthday #birthdaygirl #irish #mexican #autistickids #autistic #autism #autismisbeautiful

She’s turning 10 tomorrow so I asked her what did she want to do today for a pre-birthday activity - her answer? Shopping at Victoria’s Secret @victoriassecret #passionforfashion #fashion #victoriassecret #momlife #daughter #birthday #birthdaygirl #birthdayideasforgirls

Since our neighbors like to stand outside yelling at us when we’re trying to do yard work calling us names like “low grade trashy Irishman” and “wetback” (that’s directed at my daughters and their father who is Mexican) this was my father’s response 😂 #momlife #irish #mexico #ireland #mexican #father #dad #daddysgirl #texas #gringo #legal #immigration #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #spring #rain #yardwork #relax #protection #protective

I’ve been cherishing every last drop since Nocking Point sold out of this. I’m normally a die hard Red wine drinker who ‘tolerates’ White but this actually converted me a bit. #nockingpoint #nockingpointwines #nockingpointwineclub #wine #momlife #whitewine #pinot #witchesofweho #pinotgrigio @nockingpoint @witchesofweho @stassischroeder @musickillskate @kristendoute

Going on a lunch date and needed new shoes - these Lauren Conrad heels are the most insanely comfortable heels I’ve ever owned ❤️ @kohls @laurenconrad #momlife #stillawoman #heels #black #red #kohlsfinds #kohls #spring #sexy

Enjoying a cup of Death Wish coffee on this beautiful Spring Day. So happy my apple trees are blooming 😍 I love my new shirt (“Coffee is my love language”) and hat from Kohl’s that my lil’ fashionista daughter picked out for me 😉 @deathwishcoffee @kohls #momlife #coffee #deathwish #deathwishcoffee #daughter #spring #apple #tree #appletree #kohlsfinds #hat #mug #sunshine #sunlight #tshirt #graphicshirt #lovelanguage

I’m cooking lamb for my meat pasties and Nia is in heaven from the scent wafting through my kitchen 😂 #petsofinstagram #dog #dogsofinstagram #pets #momlife #irish #stpatricksday #lamb #meatpasty #scent #kitchen

We had a REALLY bad storm last night / this morning that knocked out power lines, blew down fences, playground equipment, bent then ripped a metal flag pole from my house, just tons of fun. This morning I’m walking my property to survey the damage and discovered my dogs had killed one baby bunny and dropped it by my door and the storm killed another (we have wild rabbits in our area). Then I found this little guy under my patio furniture and rescued him JUST in time from my dogs. #momlife #bunny #babybunny #storm #texas #wind #easter

It’s only day 3 of Spring Break and I’m already running out things to entertain them then THIS arrived!! Just like magic the universe knew my sanity needed saving lol Love that Barnes & Noble provides special extras for the hardcore fans @barnesandnoble @harrypotterfilm @fantasticbeastsmovie @crimesofgrindelwald #springbreak #daughter #harrypotter #fantasticbeasts #crimesofgrindelwald #movie #bluray #dvd #momlife #magic #barnesandnoble
