GalPractical on LTK

I wanted to try these last year on my porch, but they sold out so which and I never got the chance! I got two this year. I had my mom give her thoughts and she was so much a yes that she then bought two herself!

I really enjoy stuffing stockings. I’m convinced just aren’t many affordable toys that are stocking size, that won’t be raged cleaned in a couple months. I’ve definitely learned to simplify and focus on practical things or consumable things.

Comment “NO CRAP” if you want my full list!

The PERFECT movie night snack! And literally SO easy! I’m OBSESSED 💁🏽‍♀️

Being a Pinterest mom & creating all this holiday magic is exhausting this time of year! If you’re not making frozen snowmen out of your whip cream, are you even a good mom?!

I’m just mad that I actually tried to create these & couldn’t. Marshmallows + whip cream only from here on out 🙃🙃

I’ve given you ideas for kids, for your husband, now what about for you?! Send this to whoever is stuffing your stocking…it’s ok if you send it to yourself 😉

What else would you add?! Tell me what you want in your stocking? We can give each other (and our spouses) some ideas.

I got the Cozy Christmas coloring book m at Target & my 7 year old & I colored in it a ton today! They have a ton of themes and would fit great in stocking. The markers are a Black Friday buy, but they’re alcohol based and not washable, so better for older kids! They have a thick and a thin end.

My dad always tells me if you need expert advice at a store like Home Depot to find a “gray hair” . So, I figured, when it comes to men’s stockings - I better find a “gray hair” or in this case… a “no hair” 👴🏻

*My Husband and I ONLY do stockings for reach other. So, price points vary here to try and help different circumstances!

My kids have been sleeping with their trees every night. I was searching for an option for you to use in your kids’ bedrooms and found this pre-lit one on sale at Michael’s for $19.99! My store had some ready for pickup or it’s free shipping over $39

#LTKKids #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

No crap sticking stuffers are back, baby!

And....I'm just going to say it, sometimes I think stockings can get out of control with amount of things AND price points. I always remind myself that stockings aren't the star of the show. I try to keep ours practical & not filled with junk filler toys. Hopefully some of these ideas help!

P.S. I'll move the "no crap stocking stuffers" from last year to a highlight bubble in the front! There's 3 reels total including this one!

Mondo llama Christmas crafts are some of our favorite & their Christmas ones are all marked down 50 cents to a dollar! We’ve been loving the holiday bracelet kit!

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide

The traditions I remember most from growing up are never the big extravagant ones. I like to remind myself of that this holiday season

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

Let’s make stockings practical again…unless it’s my stocking, honey. Make it unpractical and filled with all the things

Stockings are my favorite thing to fill! But, I’m telling you, filling them with things you’re going to buy anyway, is the way to go! I try not to put “gifts” in stockings, but make them smaller & useful things.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids #LTKHoliday

Jingle bell hair scrunchies + hair glitter. It’s all you need. If I can figure it out, you can 100% do it. When that email comes, don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉

Gimme your thoughts if you own either of these couches!
Let’s help each other out with our experiences.

All I know is, not all kid play couches are created equal, but both of these couches are VERY well loved at our house & used for so much! If you want a practical & yet open ended toy, these have your name all over it! I own the Nugget Chunk too and she’s also well loved!

Hopefully this review helps you make an informed decision on what’s the best fit for your family 👊🏻

Another mom always brings these to my daughter’s tumbling practice and my 2 & 3 year old freakin’ LOVE them. I have been eyeing them & waiting for a sale. Today is the day!

There’s a 12 pack and a 5 pack for $14.99, only the 12 pack is on sale.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids #LTKHoliday

Got my Christmas porch set up. I’m usually a day after Thanksgiving Christmas decorator, but since we’re traveling this year, I had to make a judgment call

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday

My favorite group of them all: GET THEM DANG KIDS MOVING! As an OT, I love anything that gets kids using motor skills. With colder months upon us, inside movement can be harder to come by, but energy is still high! Enter these “toys”

#LTKKids #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

YEE-HAW 🤠! Love me some good pretend play toys! So much dang open ended play & I am here for it!

#LTKHoliday #LTKKids #LTKGiftGuide

I’d argue that most of the toys we build with are the ones I plan to hang on to for years to come…dare I say even for grandkids?

There are some well loved toys in this group! An honorable mention goes out to Lincoln Logs. I shockingly do not own them, but my parents kept ours and my kids play with them at their house.

Now, @samsclub vs. Nugget couch. We own both & both are comparable as far as function! The Nugget couch material is a maybe little softer & the cushions are slightly firmer than the Sam’s couch. They also have more neutral color options. Both have covers that unzip and can be machine washed! I’ve washed them MANY times after kids have 🤮 them & they’ve both held up well!

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids

Here we go! Part 1 of the list has been compiled. The other categories will be: Things You Build With, Things You Play Pretend With, and Things That Get Your Body Moving!

If you want to check out anything shown in the video - it’s below! Obviously this is a quick run down, but happy to answer any questions on any of these!

P.s. as I found out last year, buy a bunch of extra charging bricks because NOTHING includes them anymore 🙃

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide

All in all, I’d call it a win for my 3 year old!

My girls that did this are 2 & 3. I think a bigger kid could be even more entertained!

Grade up for bigger kids:
•Make it smaller scale - use a sheet of paper or a piece of cardboard from a box!
•Bring in glue, pom Poms, glitter(😅) or other fun things to decorate the sections . Even just more paint colors or puffy paint where they could make designs

Grade down for little kids:
•Bigger scale - big piece of posterboard or cardboard! You could even tape it out on concrete and use sidewalk chalk!
• Limit paint color options. Let the kids just pick 2-3 colors

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday #LTKFamily

Have you tried this??
I do think it’s fun for the holidays & would make a great friend, neighbor, or favorite things gift! or just to treat yourself. Spray your counters down at night or right before company comes to hide the dirty diaper smell…. 💁🏽‍♀️🙃

The Amazon reviews are promising! But more importantly, who gets the Cady Haring reference??

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide

Birthdays close to Christmas are 🤪Like what do I get for Christmas now?!

Whatever you do, put a skip it on the list because that’s entertained our whole house

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

Couldn’t have done it without the burp scale, ya know? Pleasantly surprised by Holiday Vanilla Coke Zero & Starry Cranberry Blizz

#LTKFamily #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Last Christmas I changed out my kids sheets at Christmas. It was easy and simple and no mental load. They’ve all already asked if I doing it again this year. Now’s the time to get the sheets because they’re marked down!

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Who has tried the subscription?! Did you think it was worth it?'

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHome #LTKFamily

What other questions do you have? Do you have one? Anyone have a knockoff? Ask questions & gimme your thoughts! There is SO much info!

I’d love the comment section of this reel to be a place people can reference who are considering a @myskylight !

And stay tuned for part 2 where I tell you what the paid subscription service adds!

I anticipate it will go on sale for Black Friday if you decide you want one. Costco and Sam’s run deals on them all the time as well!

#LTKHome #LTKGiftGuide #LTKSeasonal

Both have been just sitting in my cart and this morning I saw the price drop! Lots of other options on sale too

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Slowly but surely upgrade this space over the past couple of months! Got the light hung tonight. Thinking the last step may be replacing the mirror!

#LTKHome #LTKFamily

I usually get the Trader Joe’s $1.50 chocolate advent calendar for my kids and call it good. This year is not exception. But, I asked if you all had anyone more useful advent calendars that weren’t just 24 days of small toys and these were the recs I got!

These could be great for the days leading up to Thanksgiving, or a craft for the kid table while they’re waiting for food

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Matching Christmas PJS at old navy! Feels like they’re always on sale. A lot of options still available!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Currently 40% off! My mom always gets my kids matching Christmas pjs from Hanna Anderson! I’m not a PJ snob at all. But, I’ll admit that these hold up so well! They don’t stretch. They’re thicker. And I can pass them down kid to kid easily.

#LTKHoliday #LTKSaleAlert #LTKSeasonal

Sale runs through today: 10/31. It fits very oversized! I sized down. I ordered the green this year!
