My Collections

If you’re looking for a quick nail with the cost, or the toxins…this is my go-to. I use a base coat and top coat. The color changes with the need or the season but this cool tone pink is perfect for when it’s winter and Valentine’s Day. #LTKValentine #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40
No, I didn’t use any products. Never have. Remember healthy hair is an inside job and you can only do what you can do with the genetics you were dealt. So, using my curling iron won’t necessarily make your hair look just like mine! But I choose this one bc it has a long barrel and I can adjust the heat. It’s also the one my stylist uses. #LTKBeauty #LTKmomlife #LTKgrwm
Just a quick rundown of what I choose but I’ll link other great options too. #LTKmomlife #LTKmorningroutine #LTKOver40
Low Tox Beauty
The organization train over here is slow moving but it’s still in motion! I got some belts for Valentine’s Day and got a belt organizer for the closer because clearly I had no idea what my belt situation was…def did not need more! This organizer is great for belts or ties! #LTKWorkwear #LTKMens #LTKHome
I don’t love cleaning and ever since we had a kid, it’s been too hard to schedule everyone being out of the house for hours for a cleaning service. So this is my favorite easy cleaning method for hard floors. Vacuum them and then use the mop feature and mop them. Boom. I use water and a few drops of branch basics so I know the floor is safe from toxic chemicals. #LTKHome #LTKmomlife #LTKstorytime
Storage ottoman option that I’m using for a playroom coffee table without the worry of a head injury! #LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKKids

My favorite pool cover up that I got at Target and while on vacation, every single beach store had one similar…but they were all over $200…like what?! No thanks. Target does the trick! #LTKTall #LTKSwim #LTKOver40
So I sleep in “loungewear” and I make zero apologies for that. This grey set from Target is perfect for spring break and the white tee will go with everything! We can also thank Spanx for the softest lightweight travel pants that will double as pj pants if hubby insists on sleeping in the Arctic. #LTKOver40 #LTKTall #LTKTravel
I’ve never considered myself “curvy” but apparently if you’re more of a pear, you need to try on the curvy shorts to make sure they don’t suck to your butt and thighs. 🤪 As a toddler mom, I’m not trying to have shorty shorts anymore and dad shorts are in these days! I got a 27 in both even though I’m traditionally a 25/26 so I can dry them not worry about shrinkage. The black pair are the dad shirt high rise and I got them in black and blue denim. The blue denim in the video is the A-line which is still a generous 4” inseam but not as long as the dad shorts. Don’t mind my bedroom disaster as we navigate renovations and yes, that’s a dent in my thigh due to a teeter totter accident. 🤐 #LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40
Mom Clothes
Growing your own food is not only affordable and more delicious but when you have a kiddo, it’s the perfect time to get them involved in where food comes from, how to grow it, provide snacks for the family…play in dirt! #LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKSeasonal
We’re on the road again! And that means the travel bag of toys comes out and they save my life. Mess-free, screen-free, and entertaining to an almost 3 year old for long enough periods of time to eat or work or make it through drives/planes. #LTKTravel #LTKKids #LTKmomlife
I pulled the trigger on the mag tile storage bin bc the structure, the unfolded playmat, and I have zero regrets. We have 3 sets of full magtiles, a micro set, 2 sets of ramps, and we have soooo much room left in the storage bin! #LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKKids

Healthy Greek yogurt cheesecake coming right up! This isn’t a bad breakfast for a kiddo! You can eat it as a guilt free dessert, or just a snack on the go. I love the new meal prep jars I found at Target for this too! #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie
Starbread Ingredients: * 1 ½ cup warm water * 1 Tbsp instant yeast * 2 Tbsp organic cane sugar * 2 Tbsp butter, softened * ½ tsp salt * 4 cups organic, all purpose flour * ½ cup cane sugar * 1 Tbsp cinnamon * 4 Tbsp butter, melted * 1 Egg, whisked (if you want an egg wash to make the finish shiny) Directions: Combine the warm water, instant yeast, and 2 Tbsp sugar and let it sit in the mixing bowl for 5 minutes.  Then, add the 2 Tbsp softened butter, salt and 2 cups of flours to the bowl and mix on low with the paddle attachment until combined.  Switch to the dough hook, and add another cup of flour on low until combined. Add the last cup of flour and mix on medium until it combines and slaps the bowl (you’ll know what I mean when the dough starts making a smacking sound) which is about 5 minutes. Remove the hook and cover the bowl with a dish towel and let rest near the oven for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F. Combine ½ cup sugar, 1Tbsp cinnamon in a small bowl.  Melt your 4 Tbsp of butter. Once rested, take the big ball of dough and form 3 smaller balls that you will roll out into 12 inch discs.  No rolling pin?  Use a wine bottle. Place the first 12 inch disc on parchment paper and brush with melted butter, topping the butter with ½ of your sugar cinnamon mixture. Place the second 12 inch disc on top of you first seasoned disc and brush with butter and top with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Place the third disc on top. Then use a ball jar top and place it in the middle of the stack of discs.  Cut 16 strips in the stacked dough from the edge of the circle out to the outer perimeter. You will take 2 cut strips that are side by side in either hand, twist them away from one another two times and pinch the ends together.  Repeat until you have 8 star twists. Let it rest for another 20 minutes. Brush it with your whisked egg right before baking and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown. Feel free to sprinkle with powdered sugar! #LTKfoodie #LTKdayinmylife #LTKHoliday
Peppermint Mocha Mousse Pie Ingredients: Crust: 24 dates 1/2 cup walnuts 1/2 cup almonds 2 Tbsp finely ground dark roasted coffee beans pinch of salt Filling: 2 sticks of grassfed butter (at room temp) 3/4 cup coconut sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp peppermint extract 3.5 oz 90% dark chocolate (1 full 90% Lindt bar is what I used) (*it HAS to be dark bc the chemistry needs the fat) 4 free range eggs (at room temp) Directions: Pulse your coconut sugar through the food processor to make sure there are no chunks and it is fine. Put aside. Then put all your crust ingredients in the food processor and pulse until it’s sticky and will adhere together when you push it into the bottom of a pie pan. Then in a kitchen aid mixer with the paddle attachment on level 6, whip the butter and sugar for 1 1/2 minutes. While that is whipping, melt the dark chocolate. Once it’s melted, pour into the butter and sugar mixture as it’s still mixing. Add the vanilla and peppermint. Then take off the paddle attachment and replace with the whisk attachment. Scrape down the sides if necessary. Start whisking on level 7 or 8. Add one egg. Let whisk for 5 minutes. Add another egg. Whisk for 5 minutes. Add another egg. Whisk another 5 minutes. Add the last egg and let whisk for another 5 minutes. Done. Pour filling onto pie crust and set in the fridge for a few hours to set completely. Serve. #LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKParties
