'Wine night for us mommies!': Jersey Shore vet Snooki leaves her two young kids at home to party with her pals over a glass of Cabernet 

She was known for being a wild party girl when she starred on MTV's reality series Jersey Shore from 2009 to 2012.

But since marrying Jionni LaValle in 2014, Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi calmed down her cocktail-chugging lifestyle.

On Sunday evening, however, the mother of two was back to the bar where she met two friends. 'Wine night for us mommies ❤️❤️❤️,' the 27-year-old star captioned an image of herself holding up a glass of red wine with Janelle Enderle and Traci Johnson.

The trio appeared to be at the bar of an upscale restaurant as a TV screen showed LeBron James leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a victory over Atlanta in the background.

The MTV vet wore a black and floral print hat over her straightened raven locks. She also had on a denim button-down shirt.

Snooki's makeup was nicely done with her signature red lips and dark eyeliner.

Janelle and Traci were also casual in T-shirts. All three ladies appeared to be drinking the same red wine.

Snooki also shared a selfie with Traci, who is the wife of former NFL star Tiki Barber. Polizzi did a fish pout while her friend simply smiled.

In another shot, Snooki looked a bit tipsy as she sat with eyes half closed in a car.

On Monday the reality maven shared a photo of the American flag with a note about Memorial Day but did not include a photo of her family or reveal how they were celebrating the national holiday.

Earlier in the weekend Snooki shared three selfies in a collage where she said she was heading to a pool party. 

In the caption, Snooki revealed that her multi-colored, cat-eye sunglasses came from her own fashion line, The Snooki Shop.

The star had quite the reputation before she settled down as a wife and mother.

She often got intoxicated while out at bars in New Jersey, something that was well documented on her reality show. During one filming session, Snooki was arrested in Seaside Heights, NJ for disturbing the peace.

But when she found out she was pregnant with her first child in early 2012, she toned down her partying,

In an interview with UsWeekly that same year, she said, 'I have different priorities now. I don't care what anyone thinks.' 

In early May she added to E!, 'I’m not drinking, I don’t have the urge to, because I drank so much from 13 to 24, so I kind of like drank for 10 people’s lifetimes, but once in a while I do like to go out with my girlfriends.

'And it’s mainly wine, it’s not like chugging vodka anymore. But I love my wine…I can’t hang anymore! I had a vodka shot the other day, and I was hungover for two days. I can’t drink like I used to. I don’t know how I did it.'

In March of 2012, the then 24-year-old announced her engagement to LaValle. The couple waited until 2014 to tie the knot. 

Since having Lorenzo in 2012, the New Jersey native and husband LaValle also welcomed a girl to the family, Giovanna, in 2014.

Snooki has also starred in a spin-off reality show in South Beach with Jennifer 'JWoww' Farley.
