Would you try these?! I NEED EASY, and NOT something to be more work than fun, so you know I had to try this for all of us who want the same!

I love that the character gives small toddler hands something big to hold on to & there’s so many flavors you could make! I’m going to try strawberry lemonade next!

⭐️ What I learned:
•Make sure you really push the toppers into the Dixie cup! Mine started to tilt. So, make sure they’re secure for freezing!

•Definitely cut the straw into 2 pieces and use both in the hole or otherwise it’s not secure enough to hold the character!

•My biggest mistake was pulling the entire tray out at once, because then my kids just wanted to try to eat all the characters at once 🤪…so maybe only pull out however many ya need…but they’re probably still fight over characters because #kids

Anyone else feel personally victimized by summer snacking? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Wake up. Breakfast. Snack. Snack. Outing. SnackX4. Lunch. Snack. Snack. Snack. Dinner. Snack. Snack

Snacks make summer go ‘round!

Comment “concession” if you want some for your summer concession stand!

It brings me joy being a hangout house …but it doesn’t bring my husband joy though 🤪. Opposites attract, ya know? HOWEVER, when I feed kid crowds, I’m doing more snack food & not meals. We’re doing it on a budget because this economy has humbled us all 🫡

💰 Price breakdown: $4.87 for a can of Coco Lopez. Pineapple juice is $4ish give or take some change. So, feeding 7 kids Pina coladas for like $1.50 or less per kid.

The recipe is on the can! But, here it is 👇🏻

Recipe: (yields about 7ish good size Pina coladas - can be virgin or non-virgin)
•1 15oz can coco lopez
•15 oz pineapple juice
•2 cups of ice for every 4 oz
•whip cream & cherries optional!

Combine coco Lopez, pineapple juice, & ice in blender! Blender about 1 min. Top with whip cream & cherry!

We gotta stick together with summer entertainment! From one mom to another, I won’t let you down with these recs! 👊🏻

For links comment “MVP” because that’s what these toys are 🏆

And tell me, what you’d add to the list?!

I’m a full blown type C mom. Like I wanna be organized but, I’m not. Anytime I can find any long term solution that somewhat helps me, it feels like a massive W, ya know?

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKdayinmylife

All in favor of a mom school 🙋🏽‍♀️

I need to know what easy trick you’d teach?!

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

I tested A LOT of pool toys. The bar for me was: which toys keep my kids busy longest and stop them from saying “watch me” 9752 times. (I mean I still heard it, but way less, ya know?)

Comment: “GOAT” if you want to keep those kids entertained at the pool this summer!

The mini waffle maker has many hidden talents 💁🏽‍♀️

We only make grilled cheese like this in our house! Although, I really want to try 4 plate waffle maker one so I can whip out 4 at one time. Anyone tried this?!

Comment “MINI” if you want the mini waffle maker link. There’s one with interchangeable plates you can take the plates off to wash them and change them out for holidays

This is the last part of the series for this year!

Comment “NO CRAP” if your bunny wants to add any of this to the ol’ basket!

Part 4! Out of all the no crap I’ve done, these are some of my favorite & most used things to do date (and I can say that because I filmed this last year & am still using everything I showed in this video 😉)

#LTKKids #LTKSpringSale #LTKmomlife

Part 3! Resharing this one from last year with some more water themed ideas for ya!

#LTKSpringSale #LTKKids #LTKmomlife

Enough with the Cadbury egg protein balls already, make yourself one of these instead 👊🏻

But, who has actually tried the real deal?! I need to know if it’s good, because I thought this was gooooood & I’m not even a big creme egg gal

⭐️ Recipe : (I halfed this in the video & it made enough for 1 maybe 2 people. Recipe below is NOT halfed )

•4 cups vanilla ice cream (I used homestyle vanilla)
•4 Cadbury creme eggs chopped
•2 TBS whipping cream

Pulse in a blender 10ish times. You still want some bigger chunks! Top with some chopped creme eggs & chocolate syrup!

You wanna gate keep this one from the rest of us Mickey D’s?! I got it figured out 🫡

Part 2! A little bit of this & a little bit of that .

*I will say the Globble balls are pretty fun! I’ve never had them stick in hair or clothes or anything BUT a few instances where they are thrown up high on the wall & take some time to fall 😅

Comment “No Crap” to check any of this out!

Part 1! Re-sharing my no crap Easter basket reels from years past before I share this year’s ideas too! Hoping I can give your Easter bunny some easy ideas 🐰

I’m a big believer in Easter baskets being filled with the things you’d buy for spring/summer anyways! Things for the pool, stuff for upcoming trips or vacations, or just general warmer month entertainment! Let’s remember, K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, stupid!)

#LTKmomlife #LTKspring #LTKKids

Time to buy my non-stop growing kids what feels a whole new seasonal wardrobe! If I don’t have hand me downs, I like to find sales to buy this on. Super cash is good at Old Navy right (now on top of other sales). Here’s what I’m getting 👇🏻

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKSpringSale

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING FOR US??

All of it? Some of it? None of it?

Let’s make a list. I wanna hear it all. What have you tried that did and didn’t work? Anyone tried medicube? We think red light is working? Give me the skin care teaaaaaa ☕️

#LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine

These always sell out fast! I always get the biggest size. The bee 🐝 one is already on her way to me

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKmomlife

Lipton extra noodle soup >>>

Anyone else sick out there?? Whatever the crap this sickness is that hit my oldest two…imma send it back to the depths of h*ll from where it came

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife

Diet Coke lovers about to come for me

Lut some of these! 👇🏻

*@nodpodofficial: if you have any trouble falling asleep, I think this is totally worth it! I’ve been using it over a month & it’s been great. You can also put it in the freezer to make it totally cold (like for migraines) AND it’s also machine washable. You can heat it up in your dryer if you want!

*Always pan: look, if a pan is costing me $135 I want it to be one of the best. Its highly promoted by influencers, but I’ve owned it several years now & am not impressed.

*Hydrojug: do I use a Hydrojug? Yes, but stopped buying new ones over a year ago. I am so annoyed they have AND sell the lids that don’t mold on their site, but are currently NOT PUTTING THEM ON THEIR NEW RELEASES. If I’m buying a $45 cup, I don’t want to spend another $9 on another lid that should be on there anyway. Yes, if you write them, about a moldy lid they will send you a new one for free, but I’ve replaced some lids 3+ times and I’m tired of it 🫣🙃

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife

So, you think you’ll get NKD? OR have you already? Gimme your thoughts if you’ve tried ‘em!

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife #LTKKids

If you want to add some color & comfort to your winter, this is your set. If you want to not be noticed in public or to hide from your kids - this isn’t the color you want 😉

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKgrwm

I thought of two of my easiest options for ya for your Super Bowl gathering (because we all know food is the best part). Gimme all the snacky good & sugary drinks!

What do you serve at your party?!

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

It’s a random list, but that’s how my brain works!

What makes your list??

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKdayinmylife

We love these pjs! They do long sleeved versions, short sleeve versions, and shorts. We just keep buying the new prints as my daughter grows out of them. Good quality & underrated. Also, $15.98 for the set!

🚨Valentine’s Day (or any holiday) doesn’t need to be expensive and extravagant to be fun! I know you know that…BUT, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the things people share, this is me reminding you to K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, stupid!)

What do you do for Valentine’s Day with your kids?!

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKValentine

I’m reminding you of these storage options I shared last year because it’s been over a year & a half of them & they’re still serving me well!

I’ll keep you updated on the bed!

Comment “NO SUCK” if you want to check any out!

Grab and go is the way to go 🤘🏻I grab them when we head to church, travel, restaurants, in-laws, and when my younger kids have to watch bigger siblings games, practices, and activities. They’ve been helping to keep me sane since 2024 🫡

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKTravel

Needed some color in my January

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

I love doing PJS for holidays like valentines or Easter! It’s easy fun and my kids always need pjs! I usually do Target or Walmart but, these were $9 at Gap and the discount at checkout makes them $8.10!

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

Just going to word vomit for a minute on class Valentines. Look, if it brings you joy to deck the halls and go all out on these then YOU GO GLEN COCO! But, some of these options I see shared are like 💀🤑💰

I’m just reminding you there are a ton of class Valentines out there that get the job done and don’t require second mortgages or a lot of time to make.

Give candy, don’t give candy. I don’t care! Just remember, most of it will probably get trashed anyway 🙃 (unless you give out nerd clusters or Reese’s hearts. We don’t trash those in our house)

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife

I ain’t ashamed to admit that in my mid 30’s & really find coloring relaxing!

I thought my older 2 kids were kind of over it …until winter break. I wanted some activities we could do (but a puzzle wouldn’t stand a chance in our house with 2 toddlers) so I revamped some of our coloring supplies & got things they may appeal more towards my older kids. Then, I just started sitting down & doing it by myself when I could & slowly they joined in. We colored nearly every day of break. While they colored we talked. We watched movies. Some days I read to them. Some days friends joined. We bonded & Conversations naturally happened.

It’s a good winter activity & it’s something I hope we can keep doing together. Coloring + connecting 🖍️

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

Ok, Walmart. I can’t decide between the pink gingham or red, but leaning red. Although, pink gingham can carry through to spring. Sooo. Whatever is out of stock is supposed to restock!

#LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I shared this last year & I’m sharing again because it’s so simple, but it changes the game IMO

Don’t save the stockings til last minute! Organize now & thank yourself later as you hand the bags off to your husband to fill up the stockings 👊🏻

I used to avoid simmer pots because I thought they looked like too much work. Turns out, I was wrong (happens rarely 😉 - just ask my husband). They’re super easy, they smell like Christmas in a pot, & they last 3 days.

With littles, I prefer to do mine in a mini crockpot, but the simmer pots on the stove work just as great.

Add the ingredients to your grocery order for Christmas & give it a shot!

Recipe: (you could cut this in half)
•2 teaspoons nutmeg
•3 teaspoons whole cloves
•3 anise stars (optional. Kind of hard to find a bit more expensive. I’ve done simmer pots without them & they still smell great!)
•1 c cranberries
•2 sprigs rosemary
•2-3 cinnamon sticks
•2 navel oranges
