🪚 DIY Nursing Cart: Part 1! 🍼✨ Today I built the perfect little rolling station for the newborn days. I know how short the baby days actually are, and I wanted something that will work as a nursing cart but I’ll still want to keep around for many years to come! Tomorrow we’ll stain it, add the finishing touches, and start filling it up with all the postpartum + baby essentials 💕 Follow along to see how it turns out! #momsofinstagram #babyprep #pregnant #diy
Have you ever used a laser level to hang a gallery wall?? Such a game changer! Instead of relying on my subpar tape measure skills and putting some (ok, many) extra holes in the wall, a laser level helps me put up my frames quickly and accurately once I get a middle measurement. Can’t recommend enough! Now we just need some updated pictures. The most recent on in there is 3 years old 😅 #LTKKids #LTKHome #LTKFamily
Fresh paint for a fresh season! Just gave our concrete front porch a (long overdue) checkerboard glow-up just in time for summer ☀️ Can you believe the impact this easy DIY made (and it only cost $100!)?? #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder100

Alright… healthy is a stretch here. But with a few simple swaps and additions that my kids barely notice I feel much better about mac and cheese for dinner! Start with your favorite mac and cheese recipe, or grab some premade from the store. I don’t judge! Work smarter, not harder. I very loosely used the mac and cheese recipe from @thekitchn. 🍝 Next, swap out your pasta for a higher protein option. I think the best one is @barilla Protein+, but we use whatever we have! Skip this if you buy premade. 🍗 Now grab whatever leftover protein you have in your fridge. Tonight we used leftover pulled pork, but I’ve used sausage, cut up chicken, chickpeas, whatever! Stir it in with the cheese sauce. 🥦 Lastly, grab a bag of frozen riced cauliflower and add it in to the cheese sauce and protein right before the pasta. I swear no one will taste it and it doesn’t add any color that may be offensive to children! It will thaw as you stir in your pasta and mix everything together. This last step brings the meal over the edge from a side dish to a whole meal complete with a veggie. Try this out next time your family’s craving mac and cheese but you want to put something a little healthier on your plate! #LTKFamily #LTKHome
Ditch the frozen pizza for good and start doing make your own pizza night! All you need is a pizza peel, pizza stone and a few easy groceries. As a bonus, my kids usually actually eat it since they’re so proud of their creations! #LTKFamily #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome
Inspired by the Carmelized Corn Brown Butter Pasta from The Ambitious Kitchen cookbook… but make it so my kids will eat it (minus jalapeños, plus bacon 😜)! #LTKHome #LTKFamily
