When I need to get things done in the kitchen, this is one of my favorite mom hacks: a cardboard box and these washable crayons from Jar Melo.

Rexxie gets her own little creative corner, I get 15 minutes to clean up, and everyone wins. 🙌

Bonus: the crayons are washable and made with little artists in mind, which makes this mama feel a lot better about the inevitable scribbles.

#LTKgrwm #LTKdayinmylife #LTKselfcare

Easy mom streetwear outfit for real-life days.
Comfy wide-leg pants, sneakers, a graphic top, and a hat. Cute, practical, and baby-carrying approved.

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife

Having a daughter has definitely softened me a bit. 💕

For years my closet was mostly black, but this summer I’m having fun adding more color—starting with pink.

Still a little edgy, just with softer shades these days. ✨

One thing about me? I love a product that makes life easier and makes me feel like I somewhat have it together 😌✨

This mattress vacuum is one of those products you don’t realize you need until you have it. The amount of dust, skin, pet hair, and mystery particles this thing pulls out of your mattress is honestly disgusting… and satisfying 😂

Plus the UV light makes you feel EXTRA sure your bed is actually clean. Suddenly I want to vacuum every soft surface in my house.

Perfect for busy moms, pet owners, allergy girls, and anyone trying to romanticize being a functioning adult 🤍

As a mom, finding art supplies that are actually toddler-friendly and non-toxic feels like winning the lottery 😭✨

We’ve been loving JARMELO art supplies lately because they’re designed with little ones in mind using washable, child-safe, non-toxic materials, which means my daughter gets to create adorable little masterpieces while I stress slightly less about what’s ending up on her hands… and probably in her mouth 😂

The finger paints, dot markers, and washable crayons have officially become part of our toddler activity rotation. Cute, creative, low-mess(ish), and mom approved 🤍

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKKids

This week’s Badass Finds are for the girls trying to feel a little more put together without completely changing their lives 😌✨

A silky PJ set, a cozy moody lamp, the best Salt & Stone body mist, a wellness upgrade that fits into busy schedules, and a book reminding us that joy is usually hiding in the little things.

Tiny upgrades. Better moods. Soft reset energy 🤍

I loved this crib from the moment I saw it… and now seeing it as Rexxie’s little toddler bed makes me emotional 🥹🖤

She is OBSESSED with her Graco Teddi 5-in-1 bed and honestly? I get it. Between the cozy setup, her little blanky, and of course the matching changing table/dresser combo, her room officially feels like her little girl space now.

Maybe… just maybe… this is our sign to finally transition from co-sleeping to Rexxie sleeping in her own bed 😭✨

POV: after every shower, my daughter already knows it’s time for her favorite diaper. @DYPER 😂🛁🤍

One of my favorite things about Dyper (besides how cute she looks running around in them after bath time) is that they’re plant-based and made without a bunch of the questionable stuff. Non-toxic, super soft, and actually keep her dry without irritating her skin? A win for both of us.

No leaks, no rashes, no waking up uncomfortable — just a happy baby and an obsessed mom over here ✨ Honestly once we switched to @DYPER, there was no going back.

Little miss spa robe + her Dyper = the cutest post-bath routine ever 🥹🤍

This week’s Badass Finds are giving soft reset energy 🌙✨

Not the “wake up at 5am and become a whole new person overnight” kind of reset…
I’m talking about the realistic kind:
a better night routine, less stress, comfy effortless outfits, tiny habits that make life feel lighter, and finally admitting burnout is not a personality trait 😂

This week inside Letters From The Mess:
📚 A book every overwhelmed woman needs to read
🛁 Stress relief shower steamers because moms deserve spa moments too
💡 A sunrise alarm clock to help fix chaotic sleep routines
🤍 The easiest throw-on-and-still-look-put-together dress
✨ Soft headbands for the messy hair days we pretend are intentional

Tiny upgrades. Softer routines. Less pressure. More peace.

Amazon deal alert and this one is actually GOOD 👀

Two versions of the TruSkin Vitamin C and here’s the difference so you don’t grab the wrong one:

✨ Vitamin C Facial Serum (right)
Your everyday glow girl. Brightens, evens skin tone, and hydrates with vitamin E + hyaluronic acid. Lightweight, simple, perfect if you’re starting or want that fresh, dewy skin.

🔥 Vitamin C Super Serum+ (left)
She’s the overachiever. Has niacinamide + retinol + hyaluronic acid + squalane. This one targets fine lines, texture, and deeper skin concerns. More of a treatment than just a glow boost.

👉 If you want simple + glow = go right
👉 If you want results + correction = go left

Both are on sale so honestly… pick your fighter or do both (AM vs PM moment 👀

One more ride before bed 🤣😴

Red light therapy but make it mom life, coffee, sunglasses, and pretending I’m at a spa for 10 minutes ❤️😂

I’ve been using this red light therapy lamp as part of my little self-care routine because it may help support skin texture, collagen production, circulation, and inflammation. Is it magic? No. Do I feel like a wellness baddie sitting under it with my coffee? Absolutely.

Linking it here because self-care doesn’t have to be perfect… sometimes it’s just finding one little thing that makes you feel human again.

Didn’t think I’d have strong opinions about diapers… but here we are 😂

These from @DYPER are what we’ve been using lately and I love that they’re made with a plastic-free liner + cleaner materials (and the ReDyper composting program is a huge plus)

Sharing because mom life = finding what actually works 🤍

Currently reading Start With Yourself by Emma Grede and honestly… if you’re a mom wanting to start a business, an entrepreneur, or just a woman trying to stop waiting for the “perfect time,” you have to read this book.

I haven’t even finished it yet and I already want to read it again.

Emma gives the tough love we all need, mixed with the kind of motivation you didn’t even know you were craving. It’s no-BS, practical, and makes you rethink how you’re approaching your dreams, your time, your ambition, and the excuses we all love to dress up as “being realistic.” Ouch, but thank you. 😂

A must-read for the moms, dreamers, builders, and beautifully messy women trying to create something bigger while life is still very much life-ing.
