Welcome to The Uncorked Mom

Balancing life, travel, and motherhood: the everyday journey of a relatable mom.

Where motherhood meets meltdowns, memories, and maybe a margarita (or two).

Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I'm Jillian, a 40-year-old California mom of two. I navigate the wild world of parenting, travel, and everything in between, often with a suitcase in one hand and a half-finished cup of coffee in the other.

So … what is The Uncorked Mom all about?

This is (hopefully) your new go-to space for real, relatable mom life, uncorked and unfiltered. Whether you're planning your next family trip, hiding in the pantry for a snack break, or wondering how on earth you're supposed to "soak in every moment" while someone’s throwing a tantrum in Target … you're in the right place.

Here's what you can expect:

🍷 Travel Tips That Actually Work

From long-haul flights with littles to weekend road trips that won’t break your spirit, or your budget.

🍼 Parenting Chaos, Served Honestly

No sugarcoating here. Just real talk about meltdowns, motherhood, and maybe a few survival hacks along the way.

🌍 Family-Friendly Destinations

Kid-approved travel guides, itineraries, and places that won’t make you wish you'd stayed home.

😅 Laughter is the Lifeline

Because sometimes all you can do is laugh, pour a glass of wine, and say “same” out loud while scrolling.

Whether you’re here for the travel hacks, mom humor, or just to feel a little less alone in the chaos, we’re in this together. Think of this as your judgment-free zone with a passport and a sense of humor.

Thanks for stopping by. Grab a glass, buckle up, and let’s make some (slightly chaotic) memories.
