I’m not naturally an organized person, so when I find a storage system that works, I’m taking it to my grave!

Comment “NO SUCK” for any of these!

Who remembers Orange Julius?! Whatever happened to them?! I swear they were in every mall food court one day & then they weren’t 🤷🏽‍♀️

Best part is …most of these ingredients I usually have on hand!

Recipe 🍊
•1 12 oz container frozen OJ a little thawed
•1 cup milk (any milk works, obviously higher fat content tastes a little better)
•1 cup water
•1/3 cup sugar (some people do powdered sugar)
•1-2 tsptsp vanilla
•12 ice cubes

Blend & top with whip cream! I’ve seen some people add ice cream, frozen strawberries, do only half the frozen OJ (some of my kids like a little less of the frozen OJ). So many variations you can try!

WE WANT LOOSE FITTING TANKS & WE WANT THEM NOW!!

Part 1 was such a hit, that I felt like we all needed a part 2 👊🏻

The red gingham & cotton candy tank have my heart in this one!

For your FYI my measurements are: 5 foot 3, size C chest, 150 lbs, usually size medium to large top

Comment “FINALLY” if you’re tired of tight tanks doing ya dirty!

*No idea what happened with my voice at the end of this video, but all I said is SCREW THE TIGHT TANK TOPS and I meant it 🙌🏻

Can you tell physical touch is his love language? 🤣

If you still need some ideas, hopefully these help you see the way to a man’s heart!

Comment “NO CRAP” if you want a gift that’s Dad approved 👨🏽

AND let’s help each other out…tell me what you’re getting Dad 👇🏻

Want s’more?!

I mean, s’mores & summer go hand in hand, but we don’t have a big fire pit AND also roasting mallows with that many kids sometimes feels stressful, soooo enter s’mores dip!

Whip it up real quick for all those kids at your house & enjoy 🔥

Recipe:
•Graham crackers
•Marshmallows
•Hershey’s chocolate (or whatever chocolate you like for s’mores - Reese’s, Reese’s oreo, Hershey chocolate caramel)

1. Preheat your over to 375. Grease your Pan.
2. Line your pan with the chocolate of choice! Do all one or combine some, BUT, Lay them flat in the pan. DO NOT OVERLAP the pieces or they melt weird.
3. Cover the top with mallows. Place them close together! I needed 2 bags for my huge cast iron
4. Bake 8-10 min. I check it around 5 min so the mallows don’t burn. Mine *usually* bakes closer to 8 min.
5. Pull out and serve warm using graham crackers to dip. (let it cool a little so the pan isn’t super hot when you serve)
6. SCARF!

2 FREAKING INGREDIENTS!! I’m making this too easy for you to feed all those kids 😏

I’m not saying these will become your favorite new snack, but I’m also not not saying that.

Feed a kid crowd. Take them to the pool, the beach, on the boat, & especially on travel days

Recipe 🤤:
Ingredients:
-Frozen Rhodes rolls ((thaw, rise, & bake)
-pepperoni
-optional: cheese (mozzarella or pepper jack - I usually don’t use it, but it’s good if you do!)

•Grease a pan or put down a SIL-Pat
•lay out frozen Rhodes Rolls to thaw 3-5 hours
•Once risen, flatten the roll & add 3-4 pieces of pepperoni to each one (and some cheese if you desire) Roll up, pinch the ends shut, and lay seam down on the cookie sheet
•let rise another hour-ish
•bake on 350 for 12-15 min. You want the bottom & the top to be light brown!

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

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

Where my last minute planners at?? I used to not procrastinate stuff & now I feel like I work best under pressure. If you’re like me, I got you 🫡

#LTKValentine #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!

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife

🚨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 🫡
