Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. Team 50 Something is a place for people in their 50s (and those nearby in life) who want practical, joyful, and honest conversation about family, food, finds, and healthy living. Whether you’re caring for family, just want to listen to life stories or simply wanting easier weeknight meals and wellness habits that actually stick — this is your team.
Hi, I’m Jenn. I started Team 50 Something because I wanted a space that celebrates the real middle-of-life: the wins, the awkward, the laughter, and the hard choices — with recipes that family members will eat, product picks that are genuinely useful, and wellness ideas that don’t require a huge time commitment.

A little about how I write
This blog is friendly and direct — a little warm, often practical, and sometimes a bit cheeky. I aim to share what works (and what doesn’t) with photos, step-by-step how-tos, and the occasional “I tried this so you don’t have to” review. Everything I recommend has been tested or comes from honest research, and I’ll always be transparent about affiliate links or sponsorships.
