If you live close to grandparents, we’re living different lives and I’m so happy for you and jealous of you.

And while technically it’s my fault for moving across the country, I’m just a girl who wants it all to go my way, sue me 😜

Rule 1: Always sign up for the meal train
Rule 2: Never bring a casserole

A friend just had a baby and I brought her pulled pork that she can have as sandwiches with coleslaw & rice pilaf or with the the bbq “chicken” salad. Plus blueberry & chocolate chip muffins and peanut butter protein bites. &&& a new hooded towel from @natemiababy for the baby since it was her first boy.

The perfect swimsuit. One piece& appropriate but just enough sexy to not look like your trying to hide anything. I’ve had it for 4 years and it is still a favorite

It was their brunch, they were just using my house. And I’m okay with that.
But, I will be thinking about this brunch menu often so if you’re hosting Mother’s Day or any brunch, take notes. It’s simple but God, a good bagel bar is what I dream of.

🥯Bagels with cream cheese, lox, tomato, cucumbers, & onion (if you can find a legit bagel shop it makes a HUGE difference potchke )
🥖 French Toast Casserole
🥧 Spinach Artichoke Quiche (Costco 🙌)
🍉 Fruit Tray
🥓 Bacon
🥂 Mimosas

My aunts brought donuts & pastries too 💜

I just want a pair of shorts that will check all the boxes:

Don’t hate me! But I think the people who recommend an early morning routine are on to something.

I don’t think you need to wake up and run 5 miles to be successful. But I do think there is some magic to waking up and immediately feeling accomplished. It is contagious and sets the tone for the day.

My plan for time blocking is to focus on one time block for 2 weeks and then add the next one to perfect (improve).

And this was the end of two weeks sooooo… I am going to next week we’re adding the work time block. This is my weak spot so send prayers and tips

I recently decided that I want bring back cocktail hour. We live in an age where we either go all out and create a pinterest level affair or we put in zero effort and it is boxed dinners and doom scrolling.
But I want to live in the in between. Keep things casual, make a nice drink and fun little snack to nosh on while we spend time together talking about everything under the sun before family dinner.
I’m making it a thing at my house and I’m making it a series so you can join too.
So Welcome To the Couple’s Cocktail Hour

- Pour the lettuce in a bowl and add 3/4 the street corn & all the cheese
- Dump the dressing on top and toss well
- Serve with tortilla chips

Watermelon Limeade Mocktail
- Rim a glass with sugar and fill with ice
- In cocktail shaker, juice 2 limes over ice
- Add 1.5 ounces watermelon syrup
- Shake and pour into prepared glass
- Top off with coconut water

And if you have appetizer, cocktial, or mocktail ideas let me know below and I will try them.

Ceasar Salad Dip

Reagan and I haven’t done a crafty girls night in a while so I’m sharing one from last year to inspire you & ME to get back into it.

The mats were simple to paint (as long as you use basic designs) but they did take way more paint than I expected.

And obviously we need snacks & drinks! I think about the cherry lemonade for months! Sooo good.

What crafts should we try next?

#craftygirlsnight #craftygirls #motherdaughter #girlsnight

Just got back from getting my hair done and she could see that my hair is growing and getting thicker 🙌🙌🙌

Here’s what I’ve been usingg

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

This year Reagan wanted a pajama party with junk food, a craft, personal pizzas, and dancing.

Decor: I kept it simple with flowers, streamers, and a hand painted banner

Personal Pizzas: Each girl got a ball of dough and toppings. They made their own and Eric cooked them all in the pizza oven. (He said he will never do this many again in a row, so plan on using the regular oven.

Craft: I ordered small canvas tote bags, patches, and lapel pins. Each girl picked a bag and decorated it. My friend was there and helped me iron all the patches on

Junk food: The R is from hobby lobby and I have used it 3 years in a row now. Such a fun and easy way to make a candy bar.

& dancing was everyones favorite part

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKfoodie

Save this recipe for football this weekend.

This spinach dip is amazing and so simple to make. You can make it stove top or dump everything in the crockpot and let it do it’s magic.

Recipe is on my IG

Serve with Tortilla Chips. My favorite are Simply Tostitos because they are just corn, salt, and avocado oil.

#LTKfoodie #LTKvlog

This was a 4 ingredient appetizer and it tastes amazing

Ingredients:

- Ravioli (We used Lobster but I think cheese would be better)
- 2 eggs beaten
- breadcrumbs
- Marinara Sauce
So good!

Directions:

- Beat your eggs in a bowl
- Pour the Breadcrumbs in a seperate bowl
- Dunk your raviolis in the egg and coat
- Dunk the raviolis in the breadcrumbs and coat well
- Place the raviolis in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 350

I had this with a traditional scratch margarita (my fave)

- Juice of one lime
- 1 oz tequilia
- .5 oz orange liqueur

serve it over ice in a glass rimmed with salt

And Eric had a Pina Colada Protein Pop which surpassed all of my expectations! So good, you’d have no idea it was a protein drink
