I can’t believe I brought my Instant Pot on a 3-day ski trip—to a rental! But you better believe I used it all three nights, and it was the best decision ever for hearty, one-pot meals with minimal effort. Check out this lamb stew recipe and a chicken stew in my IG highlights!

I’ve been shopping around for a baby gift for our neighbors. Saw this cute cuddle stuffy in Whole Foods the other day, lucky I checked on Amazon, it was on super sale, with a coupon. Also, throwing in a few of these organic full body onesies from Gap, they really are the best and most convenient for parents, and super cozy for the baby. They were my number 1 go-tos back in the day. I rounded up a few other all time faves I default to for baby showers. AND, instead of using a paper gift bag, or a box that’ll get discarded, package the gifts into a diaper caddy- it’ll be both beautiful and a useful addition to the whole package! 🍼🐣

Can you believe the cuteness?! Hot chocolate, hot toddies, cider, pumpkin spice latte, chai, you get it!
You’ll find me with these and a fall beverage through Christmas! 👻👻

No theme? Last minute party? Lean into what IS obvious—teen lingo = a “BRUH” sign, a snack board, a few balloons, and fun napkins. Doesn’t have to be over the top, just intentional. Best birthday = guaranteed (plus a favorite cake 😉).

BTW,Target’s $35 helium + latex balloon set will fill the room, decorations =locked🎈🎈

Paper Source haul! All of these just make me smile, but I gotta be careful when I walk into the store, I never leave empty-handed. Giftgiving is definitely one of my love languages, and I love to buy as I go, instead of searching for the perfect gift last minute. This yellow collection just made me smile! A little bit for everyone in your life - the hobbies, the cook, your readers, your writers, your coffee lovers, everyone’s included! 🎁

#LTKFamily #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder100

These DollHouses would make the cutest gift! I’m thinking tween girls, or symbolic hobby gifts? Got a coffee connoisseur friend, there’s a coffee shop miniature kit, a library miniature one for a book lover, one for your DIY designer friend who sews , a foodie, the musician, there’s one for every hobby!

Your summer entertaining hack, Apartment Edition: Ice- Cream Bar, all summer long! In this heat, anything no-cook is the only way to go!

I love creating special moments, and apartment hosting is something I’ve practiced for over 20 years. The trick? Keep it simple, interactive, with ease as the goal. I thought long and hard about
our last kitchen addition (space considerations), Ninja creamy, which turned out to be a great success and quickly became my spring /summer go-to secret hosting weapon. Ice cream bar, frozen drink treats, and fancy affogatos - all in one.

With people being in our house pretty regularly and not having a guest powder room, it’s even more important to have a designated guest towel, I think. Ordered ones with “Guest” embroidery! For anytime you’ve got people in your space, they’ll know they were expected!

This new shade from Londontown is absolute magic🪄! It’s so natural, hides blemishes and the subtle holographic neutral pink for a touch of sparkle is GORGEOUS!! Love their 21 toxic free formula, self-leveling pigment provides a plush, cushiony finish, gel-like wear and shine! Im obsessed ✨💅✨

It's always a great day to show a friend you care! I received the cutest sloth surprise on my doorstep few days ago, and it was the most thoughtful gift from a friend! I’d add one of them to a care package, of a cookie box!Simple gestures can mean so much. You can find these on Amazon, and they ship overnight!

Kitchen Find Alert! I just discovered stainless steel salad spinners and I'm shocked I didn't know about them sooner! The plastic ones always get moldy so quickly, it's disgusting! This one is a game changer, it's dishwasher safe and looks amazing!

About this time last year, we updated our kids big boy desk to an adult standing desk. Best decision ever! This is an Amazon find, super quick to assemble, we’ve been using it for about a year and the standing feature is super useful, great for his pasture, thinking of even adding a walking pad underneath 🤔! For our homeschooling life, it’s been so good!!

#LTKFamily #LTKMens #LTKHome

My clean beauty staple: the Neroli & Basil deodorant. I’ve been using it for over a year, and it’s by far my favorite. It applies super smoothly while being on the drier side—no sticky or greasy feel. It’s extra strength, with the perfect fresh scent for spring, and most importantly, it actually works!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty

Your Next Family Game Night!

Something for everyone in the group:

For a quick and easy weeknight game, we love a round (or two) of UNO or ONO 99.

For younger kids, a Jenga tower or Chutes and Ladders keeps things fun and engaging. If you’ve got competitive players in the mix, ALIAS and Monopoly are great choices—though Monopoly might turn into a multi-day event!

Looking for something that sparks deeper conversation? Hygge is a fantastic game for light philosophical discussions with both kids and adults—it’s always a hit at gatherings.

And if you want to get everyone moving, break out a retro Twister—trust me, it never fails to bring laughter and energy to the night!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKKids #LTKFamily

I can't think of a sweeter way to spend the weekend. These waffles are a childhood memory! They're kind of like ice cream cones, but more delicate and absolutely addictive! Filled with condensed milk cream?! It’s a dream! Making them is an event. Find the recipe @breathe.eat.create

My waffle maker is old, but I linked a couple very similar ones!

February at home—it’s easy to get caught up in to-do lists and the rush of daily life, chasing accomplishments. But instead, I’m choosing to focus on the little corners that bring me joy and embrace a slower pace. Wishing everyone a calm weekend and a gentle, soft entry into spring.

Linked everything I could!

What to Buy:

• Gloves or wool glove inserts & mittens – I prefer mittens.
• Ski socks
• Face mask
• Goggles

What to Rent on the Mountain:
• Ski boots
• Skis & poles
• Helmet

One of my all-time favorite boys’ ski sets! There are so many cute, colorful options—it’s hard to pick just one!

I remember buying ski layers for the first time—it was overwhelming. Here’s a simplified list:

What to Buy:
• Snow jacket & pants – Look for pockets on the chest or arm for the lift ticket card.
• Thermal base layer set
• Fleece 1/4-zip mid-layer
• Gloves or wool glove inserts & mittens – I prefer mittens.

Last-minute ski trip plans? Thank God for one-day Amazon deliveries! I scored this amazing jacket and ski pants for just over $100!

I’m 5’6” and 150 lbs for reference.
• Jacket: $62.69 (Size M)
• Pants: $46.99 (Size XL – runs very small)

The pants fit great in the thighs but are a little roomy in the waist. They’re not very stretchy, so if you need more room in the waist or thighs, definitely size up for more comfort and just add some suspenders.

The overall design and look of both pieces are way more high-end than I expected!

Linked all the layers and accessories you’ll need for easy packing:

Thermal base layer set (love mine from Uniqlo)
Fleece 1/4-zip mid-layer
Gloves and glove liners
Ski socks
Face mask
Goggles

What to Rent on the Mountain:
Ski boots
Skis & poles
Helmet

What shade are you choosing for V-Day? I’m a natural polish gal, and LondonTown polishes are my holy grail! They’re 16-free, wear beautifully, and come with a range of nail care products I swear by. My favorites are the Veil and Concealer lines—they create a flawless, polished look (like a nail filter!) while remaining breathable and free from discoloration. LOVE!

Their nail polish remover pads are fantastic for travel, the top and bottom coats go on super smooth, and the cuticle oil and nail probiotic keep my nails ultra-healthy between wears. LondonTown truly has everything for the perfect natural nail routine!

Speaking of February and love, when we love, we love hard as a family. This winter, we’re all about matching vibes with his, his, and hers Allbirds—Papa’s, Mama’s, and not-so-baby Allbirds (his feet are officially bigger than mine!). These shoes have been with us for three seasons and counting—super durable and unbelievably comfortable.

#LTKMostLoved #LTKFamily #LTKSeasonal

| couldn't wait to share a little sneak peek! I just set up my new faux stems, and I'm so happy with them. Home is slowly feeling a little Valentine-y without being kitschy-that's the sweet spot!

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

If only my bedroom wasn’t so backlit—you’d see just how fluffy and insanely cozy this zip-up is. I practically live in it. It’s basically my grown-up version of a safety blanket!

It makes the BEST GIFT! I’ve got mine in off-white and am seriously eyeing the light grey. My grandma loves her brown one (though it reads more like a light taupe to me), and don’t even get me started on how cute the girls’ versions are!

We made it to February 1! Saturday mornings call for pancakes with a little love twist.
