When even dessert has to match the theme 🔪🩸🧁

When you’re going all in on a SCREAM 7 movie night, even the cupcakes have to join in.

I found these little Ghostface cupcake mold toppers and knew they would be perfect for the concession stand. Add some red velvet cupcakes and suddenly dessert is part of the decor too!

#LTKfoodie #LTKSeasonal

Do you like scary movies? 👻🔪 Because we turned our backyard into a full-on SCREAM 7 movie night!

#OTCPartner From the red carpet and creepy ticket booth to Ghostface, a scream-worthy concession bar, popcorn, slushies, hot dogs, s’mores and cupcakes… we went ALL IN.

And when it was time for the movie? Everyone could relax in the swimspa, or grab a chair and get cozy under the stars.

The best part? So much of the spooky magic came together with decor from @OrientalTrading. They seriously made it way too easy to turn our backyard into Woodsboro for the night.

Would you be brave enough to walk down the red carpet and stay for the movie? 😱

I had a crazy idea for Halloween… Instead of tossing everything into one candy bowl, I turned my Halloween display into a candy station with a different favorite in every bucket!

I filled each with treats from the Mars Mixed Variety Bags, that include SNICKERS®, TWIX®, M&M’S®, SKITTLES®, and STARBURST®, so everyone can grab their favorite and share the fun.

The best part? I picked everything up at @walmart, and if you’re short on time, Walmart Express makes it easy to get your Halloween candy delivered fast so you’re ready for trick-or-treaters.

Which bucket would you head to first? 👇

Just casually making pumpkins float from the ceiling. 🎃☁️

This Halloween ceiling might be one of my favorite transformations! We covered the ceiling in poster board, added twinkling lights to create glowing clouds, fluffy cotton poly, and then hung pumpkins from above so they look like they’re magically floating through the mist.

A little spooky, a little whimsical, and very much giving Hogwarts at Halloween.

Would you try this in your house?

Apparently, I wasn’t done with the prize machine… 🕸️🕷️🎃

After all your suggestions from my 4th of July version, I took your ideas and gave it a Halloween makeover — added the spider, string lights, more details around the top, and turned it into a full-on Halloween Prize Drop!

And let me tell you… the boys LOVED it.

This was for my son’s birthday party, and honestly, the prize machine was a bigger hit than any traditional party favor could have been. They were cutting strings, cheering when prizes dropped, and immediately going back for another turn.

The prizes included NeeDohs, cash, gift cards, candy, and more — so there was a little something for everyone.

And to everyone who gave me ideas on the first version… THANK YOU! ❤️ Your suggestions seriously helped make version 2 even better.

Drop the mic! Meet the NEW Ninja SLUSHi Twist, and I think I just found my favorite way to use it!

I took two of my favorite Refreshers, popped them into the machine, and let the Ninja Twist do its thing.

The frozen texture, the colors, and that twist?! Watching two flavors come together like this is seriously SO satisfying.

This is definitely one of those new kitchen gadgets that makes me want to turn everything into a slushi!

This might be my new favorite decorating hack! Instead of hanging the banner on a wall, I used my over-the-table rod to create the perfect backdrop for our back-to-school breakfast, and I may never go back!

With a few balloons, breakfast favorites, flowers, and school themed decor that I have been hoarding over the years, our kitchen turned into the cutest first-day celebration.

✨ Save this idea for birthdays, holidays, classroom parties, or any celebration that deserves a little extra magic!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKmomlife

POV: It’s your last year with a kid in elementary school… so you naturally go a little extra. ✨

Six hours on the road doesn’t have to mean overpriced gas station snacks and drive-thrus

Before we hit the road, we made one stop at The Fresh Market and stocked up on everything we needed—fresh ingredients for breakfast sandwiches, lunch sliders, snackle boxes, fruit, chips, and our favorite chicken salad.

It made the drive easier, kept everyone happy, and honestly saved us from multiple food stops along the way.

Because I’m not a wake-up-at-4AM-and-hunt-down-the-new-Starbucks-cup kind of girl. 😂 But if that’s your thing, you do you, bestie. I’ll be over here making my own pink bear dupe and keeping my beauty sleep.

Grab this cup with a strawberry straw for a close dupe to the real thing. I painted the hat with white multi-surface paint, added berry cute in vinyl, and sealed it with Mod Podge. The painting is optional but I go all in!

If summer had a flavor, I’m pretty sure it would be mango and strawberry lemonade. These fruity gift bags are packed with sunshine, featuring lemon themed gifts, freeze-dried mango slices, strawberry treats, fun summer accessories, and the newest obsession—Scoot Frozen Lemonade. 🥭🍓🍋

Just pop Scoot in the freezer and you’ve got the perfect icy, refreshing treat for hot summer days. It was the perfect addition to tie the whole theme together!

Whether you’re putting together teacher gifts, pool party favors, neighbor gifts, birthday surprises, or just a little “thinking of you” treat, this fruity combo is almost too cute to give away.

Who else is ready for all things strawberry lemonade and mango this summer?

These shark jello push-up treats were about to humble me and almost complete fail 😂 I tried pouring the jello straight into the containers too early and let’s just say… blue slime everywhere.

Pro tip: let the jello set up first before adding it to the push-up containers! It makes layering SO much easier and keeps everything from turning into a melted mess.

We used pound cake for the “sand,” Nerds candy for the pebbles, gummy sharks, and finished them off with sprinkles around the rim for the cutest ocean-inspired treat.

10/10 cute once I stopped fighting the jello 😂

Ultimate Pool Party Birthday 💦

We threw the ultimate pool party at a private waterpark and pulled it all together in just 15 minutes.

Everything came together so easily thanks to @Orientaltrading — from the beachy party decor and inflatables to the plates, napkins, and party favors. One stop and the whole party vibe was DONE.

Nothing better than seeing your kid walk in and instantly light up because every little detail feels made just for them 🩵

Proof that even with limited setup time, you can still bring the party to life!

Copy this easy summer party favor idea before your next pool party 💦

I grabbed most of the items from Dollar Tree and it turned out SO cute! I filled clear treat boxes with beach themed candy, added a mini beach ball keychain, tied it up with sparkly blue tulle, and finished it with a splash-themed tag.

Affordable, easy to customize, and perfect for birthday parties, swim parties, splash pads, or summer playdates. The kids were obsessed!

Saving this one for all our summer parties this year 👏🏼

Cool Teacher Gift 💙

The coolest teacher deserves a fun little surprise! We kept things simple with a blue-themed cooler filled with snacks, drinks, and a few favorite treats. Such an easy gift idea to throw together — just add a fun gift tag and you’re good to go!

Golden birthday = golden rules 💳✨

For the big 1-0, we gave him a GOLD magic wand… but the real magic was the credit card hidden inside. One swipe at a time, we spent the day hitting all his favorite spots — candy overload at Rocket Fizz, treasure hunting at Summit Comics & Games, sweet treats from Dairy Queen, and of course ending with nuggets and fries at McDonald’s

Safe to say this golden birthday was pure MAGIC ✨
