Twinning with my main girl in these matching Christmas Jammies
I’m in a large but should have done a medium and she is in an x-small and the drawstring makes it work but they will fit for a while 🙈

It’s not too late to make a sweet little boob basket for your girlfriends with some of their favorite snacks and a drink for cocktail hour. It’s a perfect fall Pick me up.

I told you a few weeks ago that I was buying the Nuuds boat neck jersey knit top and I would share when it got here.
Well, it’s here and I’m sharing.
I do really like it, however I don’t think it’s comparable to the slinky rib tops which is the way they advertised it.
My mom also bought one and while the slinky ribs look amazing on her the slinky jersey hugged all the wrong curves in all the wrong places.
Make sure you buy it before they have their sale because their sales are final sale. This way you can be sure that you love the fit.

Every year at our north Pole breakfast my kids get a new pair of Christmas pajamas to wear throughout the season and a new hardback Christmas book that will serve as an heirloom gift for when they have their own kids.
This year the kids are getting a home alone, one and two as a hardback book.

Just a mom standing in the target aisles scanning all the beauty products to find the ones that are safe for pre teens skin and hair. (Only linking the ones I would by Reagan)
The pump dry shampoo scored a 2 on the EWG scale and the aerosol was a 6 (lower is better).
Face wash: good molecules - 1, bubble - 2, Byoma- not rated

One of the best practical gifts I have ever gotten, The Battery Daddy!
Keeps all of our batteries organized & tests them to make sure they are good.
I gave it to my father in law once for Christmas and at first he said “ I don’t need a gift” until he saw it and made room in his suitcase for it

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKMens #LTKHome

Love this gingerbread set
We use it all Christmas season but it makes its first appearance at our North Pole Breakfast

Eric loves these Half Days
They sent me a sample pack of 24 for PR and he drank every last one and then ask me when we were getting the next shipment
We paid for these and he said he likes every flavor

Been doing the whole clean deodorant thing for 6 months now.
Just ran out of my second primally pure deodorant and I swear by it but the black charcoal rubs on my clothes

Trying this curie one. On day two and so far so goodd

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty #LTKActive

The one thing I do to get my kids tell me about their day at school is have a fresh snack made for them
Today I made them banana muffins from Joanna Gaines cookbook, except she uses brown sugar, and I sub that for white sugar.
The sugar crust on top makes them like bakery level Muffins, and they are amazing

#LTKFamily #LTKHome

It was game night tonight we played cards against maturity let’s go edition, which is basically potty humor edition

This is the perfect stocking stuff or gift for your preteen boys
We laughed so hard tonight

#LTKSeasonal #LTKKids

Restocking my Palmers
My favorite skin and hair moisturizers
I’ve been using the face oil and deep conditioner for years, and I love them

My night cream is empty and I need to order another one, but I just got the whipped body butter and it is heavenly

Some of the best products on the market and they’re so affordable

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50

We are making soup at our house every single week and there’s always leftovers
These silicone jumbo muffin tins are the best for saving single servings of soup so that I have it as lunches later in the week or month

I’m a sucker for anything gingerbread themed and these napkin rings are so cute. The beaded details are gorgeous and I just feel like napkins and napkin rings are such an affordable way to dress up your table with each season and holiday

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50

Hair accessories are such a practical and affordable stocking stuffer for girls and something like the hairbrush will take up a good amount of space which will make it so that you don’t need a zillion things in your stockings for it to be full and valuable

I love how gorgeous all of the traditional Christmas stuff is from the hearth and hand magnolia line this year
Two things that were in my car have already sold out so if there’s something you really want act quickly

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

My kids always get a matching set of Christmas pajamas from their north pole elf at our north Pole breakfast this Saturday after Thanksgiving
These are currently 40% off
I love traditional plants, especially at Christmas time
And they have matching Christmas pajama sets for the whole family

I’ve been using more and more of my grandma’s silver in my house to decorate it desperately needed a polish
I grabbed the stuff at the grocery store and it works amazing

My KitchenAid mixer of 13 years broke so we got an upgrade last week and look how beautiful the copper bowl is I’m obsessed

#LTKHome

Don’t laugh at me for how frugal I am but whenever I finish a candle, there’s always like half an inch left of wax and I don’t wanna waste it. So I freeze the jar and then use a knife to pop the wax out and now I put it in this candle warmer.
It’s so cute and I’m getting every penny worth of my candles 🙈

Join us for my couples cocktail hour series
I’m ready for the fall vibes when I cook but it’s still 75 degrees here
This week we had baked Brie with hot pepper bacon jam. holy moly it was so good, buttery but also spicy and savory. Yum!
And we both had mocktails this week. Apple cider with lime and sparkling water. Simple but so goodd

All my Harry Potter fans are going to know this reference
We made whomping Willow bread with roasted chicken for our Harry Potter marathon
It was so simple to make a used store-bought pizza dough and then cut branches and twisted them to give a little texture
Brush the dough with garlic butter, and then bake according to the package
It turned out delicious
And it could also be so fun for like spooky bread for Halloween party or maybe with some soup

Listen, I know this isn’t my best photography, but I need you to make this caramel apple dip bar. It’s so good.
Melted white chocolate milk, chocolate and caramel with toffee bits and cinnamon sugar
Plus the most amazing chocolate mousse bites from Trader Joe’s (they look like pumpkins, but they don’t taste like pumpkins 😉)
The best combo is the white chocolate & caramel with cinnamon sugar

#LTKHome #LTKParties #LTKSeasonal

Sorting hat waffles for our Harry Potter marathon
Obviously it also makes a great witch hat breakfast for Halloween

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHalloween

This year for fall break we were not traveling so we decided to host a Harry Potter marathon

We turned our living room into Hogwarts with floating candles and house banners.
We walked through platform 9 3/4 to get there and on the first night had the trolley cart bring in dessert

Our monthly Amazon subscribe and save arrived and I figured I would share there is nothing super exciting but these are the things that I love so much but I want them to be delivered without me having to even think about them
My kids love, chomps, and hint, watermelon flavored water to take to school
Eric uses humidifier packs for his cigars and electrolyte pills every day
I’ve been loving these dishwasher pods because they are plastic free and we’re trying to reduce our micro plastics, which is the most basic annoying thing ever to say
I swear by Palmer deep conditioner for Reagan’s hair it’s amazing
The kids toothpaste arrives every month like clockwork, so we always have some ready to go
And the only thing not shown here in this month subscribe and save is dog food, which is such a lifesaver to have delivered to the front door

#LTKHome #LTKFamily #LTKPets

It’s hard to capture the glow, but our Harry Potter movie marathon week turned out so good.
Started off by turning our living room into the Hogwarts castle and then of course we had the trolley cart come with treats, butter beer, womping Willow bread, sorting hat, waffles, apples with caramel dip, and golden snitch truffles.

#LTKHalloween #LTKSeasonal #LTKFamily

This is one of the first at home dates that I shared that went viral
It is perfect if you love a good true crime mystery.
The murder mystery game is harder than I expected and was perfect with caramel apples and smoked whiskey (which will also make a great Christmas gift for your dad or husband)

#LTKSeasonal #LTKParties #LTKHome

Grabbed a few stocking stuffers from target today for my daughter
Their hair accessories are 50% off today
My rule for stocking stuffers is that they have to be practical around $10-$15 each and preferably they’re consumable and take up a good amount of space in the stocking while still fitting .
