This weekend I’m taking my daughter and three of her best friends to Disney to celebrate her 8th birthday, so I’m putting together little backpacks with everything they’ll need for a fun day in the parks.

Inside each one:
🎀 Matching shirt
🎒 Backpack
🩷 Cosmetic bag
🕶️ Sunglasses
💄 Lip balm

It’s a small touch that helps everyone stay organized, prepared, and ready to make memories. 🤍

🤍✨As a Florida girl mom, I have tried it all & these are my top poolside must haves!

3 poolside favorites

Fit check before we head to dinner by the beach! Can’t get over all of our outfits are from SHEIN! ✨ 🤍

If we’re driving somewhere with a pool or beach, this is the exact setup I repeat every single time.

My Bogg Bag is the MVP for a full-day adventure with two kids—big enough for all the sunscreen, toys, and the extras that somehow always come with us.

Then I use these hard containers to keep the snack situation contained, toss in our last-minute diving toys, and never forget little bags for all the seashell treasures they’ll bring home.

It makes getting out the door so much easier, and I love not having to reinvent the wheel for every drivable vacation. Save this for your next family pool day!

The princess needs her weekly bath, because we like to keep her smelling absolutely incredible around here.

These are the two products I use every single time: ouai dog shampoo 🫧 gets her clean while still keeping that little coat nice and soft, and then I finish with a little purple shampoo on her white areas for the fluffiest, cleanest sweetest-smelling finish.

Nothing makes me happier than a clean, cozy little Jane. 🐾

• small and lightweight enough to fit in your purse or pocket

The sweetest girls’ day at the American Girl store 💕 My girls have never been huge doll kids, but this experience completely changed that! They picked out their dolls, chose a few accessories, had their dolls’ hair done at the salon and have been playing with them nonstop ever since. 🥹

Linking the girls’ outfits + a few of our everyday favorites from the day here! 🎀✨

If you’re someone who does not love feeling oily in the middle of the day, this is a great beauty find!

I press this over my make up for a smooth refresh. It leaves my skin feeling super soft. You can wear this on top of makeup or as a standalone. Best part? It doesn’t leave your skin looking dusty like it would if you were using a powder.

#LTKBeauty #LTKmomlife #LTKActive

If you’re anything like me, you probably have a random bag of seashells tucked away from a family vacation somewhere. 🐚✨

Instead of letting them collect dust, I turned ours into a simple piece of artwork that brings back some of our favorite memories every time I walk by it.

Easy, inexpensive, and honestly so much prettier than I expected.

The BaubleBar sale ends tomorrow and these were way too cute not to share! ✨

I got the custom bracelet kits for my girls and loved them so much that I just ordered another round to save for Christmas. 🎄💕

You get all the quality you’d expect from BaubleBar, but in such a fun little DIY kit with so many bead and personalization options.

They’re definitely a little pricier than your average bracelet kit, but they feel SO luxe and would make the cutest gift. 💖

If you’ve been eyeing them, this is your sign before the sale ends!

✨ Meet the Teacher gift idea! ✏️

I found these pencil boxes at Dollar Tree and turned them into the cutest little teacher gifts!

Inside I added:
✨ Crinkle paper
✨ A lanyard
✨ A Starbucks gift card
✨ Lip gloss

Then I tied everything together with a cute ribbon and personalized name tag. 💛

My favorite part? They stack perfectly if you’re gifting multiple teachers or want to make one for the specials teachers too!

Save this for back-to-school and follow along for more simple, affordable ideas to make mom life a little easier. ✨

Skip the mug this year. 🌸

Instead, grab a simple glass vase, a grocery store bouquet, a Starbucks gift card, and a handwritten note.

Easy, affordable, and something they’ll actually enjoy.

Our youngest starts kindergarten in just a few weeks, and we wanted to thank the daycare teachers who have loved her so well this year. 🤍

The easiest Disney craft with the biggest payoff. ✨🌸

We made these flower sunglasses in under 15 minutes, and the girls were SO excited to wear something they made themselves. I even used them as a surprise in my daughter’s Disney birthday goodie bags, and they were a huge hit!

Sometimes it’s the simplest little traditions that end up being the most memorable. 💛

Dry, flaky lips? This has become my nightly lip care routine. 💋✨

I love that it feels lightweight instead of sticky, keeps my lips hydrated overnight, and leaves them feeling so much smoother by morning. The ceramic applicator is such a nice touch too!

If you’ve been looking for an everyday lip treatment, this one is definitely worth checking out. 💕

🏡 Episode 4: Using ChatGPT to Redesign My House

✨ Follow @chelsyains for more realistic home glow-ups, mom life, and simple ways to make your home work better for your family.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned while decorating our home is that it doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to work for your family.

This room was originally meant to be our formal living room, but with two little girls, that was never going to be our reality. So instead of guessing what to do, I uploaded a photo into ChatGPT, shared how we actually use the space, and let it help me create a design plan.

A few intentional changes later, this room finally feels like us.

What room in your house feels unfinished? Tell me in the comments—I might just tackle that next. 💛

Some scents remind you of someone you love. 🤍

Every time I wear Philosophy Amazing Grace, I feel like my mom is giving me a hug—even from hundreds of miles away.

Years ago, I introduced her to this fragrance, and it quickly became her signature scent. Today, it’s one we’ve both loved through different seasons of life. The fresh bergamot, delicate lily of the valley, and soft musk create a clean, feminine scent that’s timeless without ever feeling dated.

Some fragrances are beautiful.

The best ones become part of your story.

Working mom summer hack: create an “art trap.” 🎨

Before my girls wake up, I set out one simple invitation to create. No complicated craft. No prep once they’re awake. Just canvases, acrylic paint markers, and a space that’s already waiting for them.

It’s one of those tiny systems that makes our mornings smoother and encourages independent play without screens.

Save this idea for later, and follow @chelsyains for more realistic mom tips that make everyday life a little easier. 💛
