After being on TV for 10 years, Erin Napier has noticed that she’s changed as she’s aged. The HGTV star opened up about the challenges of watching her evolution on screen, noting that her priorities lie elsewhere these days.

Erin Napier Has a Refreshing Outlook on Aging

On January 12, Napier took to Instagram to give some insight into what it’s like to witness your body changing on screen as a TV personality.

“I watched last night’s episode for the first time just like y’all do,” she explained in the caption. “Last night as I watched I noticed the way age is changing me.”

Napier continued, “I noticed my hair, half wavy, half flat, evidence of abandoning my hair styling at the 4 minute mark because I would rather make pancakes for the girls before leaving for work instead of staring at myself in the mirror worrying what you, viewer, might feel about the way I look. And I noticed my arms, that used to be thinner, and I smiled at the thought of how Mae mutters that I am ‘the softest mommy in the world’ when she pushes her face into me as she falls asleep.”

“I have been on TV for a decade now, and years ago I cared more what the viewer might think,” the “Home Town” star explained. “Oh but these days I’m the softest mommy, who makes the pancakes and wrinkles up my forehead worrying if we did enough reading today.”

She added, “I have decided it’s delicious and comforting to be rebellious about our vanity. We can’t care about everything, mamas!”

Fans Applaud Erin Napier’s ‘Rebellious’ Act

Napier’s fans flooded the comments section to share their love for the HGTV star’s philosophy on aging.

“THIS. One of the many reasons why you’ve been on TV 10 years. Pure. Loving. Real. True. Beautiful inside and out,” one fan commented. “We need more of you in this world.”

Another fan noted, “I love that you’re both so real. I don’t want to watch the shows where the people are obviously trying to look glamorous. That’s all fluff with no substance. Please stay the soft mommy who makes pancakes.”

Others shared that they haven’t notice any of the changes Napier mentioned. “What I’ve noticed about you, I’ve been watching since the beginning, you always look happy,” one fan shared. “You have a beautiful life, a husband that clearly loves you to pieces and two girls that most likely think you hung the moon! I think there is nothing more beautiful and it shows!”

Another fan noted, “Ok, well I’ve been watching for 10 seasons and I thought *just last night* that you’ve never looked better! I mean that like I’ve always thought you were beautiful but I feel like I’m watching you age backwards! So hearing this makes me want to be an even softer mom for mine! You shine and I’ve enjoyed the last 10 seasons SO MUCH!!”
