If you need a gift idea for kids ages 5+, this is it!! I’ll be posting a video soon, but this portable microscope has been a huge hit in our house! From hair follicles to leaves and rocks, my kids have been examining and snapping pictures of everything—and the quality is unreal!

Lately my feed has been filled with cozy kitchens with little box TVs with VCRs and soft lamps glowing in the corner. The kind of warmth that feels like home and childhood. I’m a sucker for nostalgia, so I found a tiny lamp of my own, and the moment I turned it on, I started making taco soup for dinner. Was that a run on sentence? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🍲

This 9.5” x 12.5” cutie adds the perfect cozy glow to my kitchen. Ready to make all the fall soups under this warm glow.

Ordered a few wallpaper samples & the was the first to arrive! I think I love it...

Before you trim back your dead blooms, remember that some plants provide seeds and shelter for the smallest visitors. 🦋

Our hallway makeover! Big change from all white, and I’m loving how these colors add personal touches to our home.

Planted these seeds in the spring and they’ve been blooming beautifully all August..

Thick & Creamy Cheddar Potato Soup 🥔🧀
Ingredients
-½ stick butter
-1 white or yellow onion, diced
-2–3 cloves garlic, minced
-6–8 potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, chopped
-Chicken broth (enough to cover potatoes)
-½ cup heavy cream
-2 cans corn, drained
-1–2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or more to taste)
-Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper.
Optional: cream cheese or sour cream for extra creaminess

Toppings: green onions, sour cream, shredded cheddar, bacon crumbles, or anything you like

Instructions
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and soft.
Add chopped potatoes and pour in chicken broth until the potatoes are just covered. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and easy to mash.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes right in the pot (leave it a little chunky if you like texture).
Stir in heavy cream, corn, and cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and the soup becomes rich and creamy. For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of cream cheese or sour cream.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve hot, topped with green onions, sour cream, more cheddar, or your favorite garnishes.
Easy, cozy, and absolutely scrumptious!

The dark grey had its moment, but I’m ready to lighten things up. Repainting our half bath with a neutral tone that won’t fight with every piece of decor I want to add. I’m excited for a fresh, clean look that gives me total freedom to decorate without clashing. Goodbye moody walls, hello creative freedom! 🖌️✨

Spotted these beauties at world market.

I was at my aunt’s over the weekend and she had the prettiest multicolored towel in her bathroom. I loved it so much I found out where it was from and went to grab one today. Now I’m thinking it’s time to paint the half bath a more neutral color so I can swap out the décor whenever I want without worrying about it clashing.

Proof I purchased it, not bluffing! Sharing my favorite color correcting cream because it’s just that good. I use it daily, and some days it’s all I wear. One tube has lasted me almost a year, and now that I’m nearing the end and saw it’s on sale, I had to share!

Enjoying this perfect 70° weather with a cup of coffee on my porch. The porch could use a little cleaning and tidying up, but honestly, I’m in no rush to get up! Feeling so grateful for this beautiful space, my cozy home, and the healthy kids inside.

Enjoying coffee on my porch and had to turn the thermacell. The best mosquito device we've used for the past 5 years. It effectively keeps mosquitoes at bay and is easy to maintain with replacement cartridges and filters available online. Highly, highly recommend!

Just got the Shark Breeze for our camping trip, and it's quickly become a daily favorite! It’s easy to charge & lasts for hours. From porch sits to patio hangs, it's keeping us cool with that perfect breeze. Can’t wait to take it to yard sales and sports events too!
This is the glacier breeze color. 💙

My daughter’s flats are almost too cute to handle.

Got these people-shaped Umbra hooks and we are obsessed. They hold bags, hats or whatever and they look adorable doing it!

Shoutout to Costco for my front porch ferns, they’ve been thriving all season, even through multiple heat waves! 🌿

Family Game Night Favorites (Ages 6–10 approved!)
We’ve put together a list of board and card games our whole family loves, especially with kids ages 6 to 10.

🎟️ Ticket to Ride is always a favorite — it’s great for strategy and learning geography while keeping it fun. We even stay up after the kids go to bed to play it!

🌮🐱🧀 Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is our go-to for laughs! It’s silly, fast-paced, and gets everyone giggling (and a little competitive!).

Affordable back to school dresses.

This Virginia heat has the flies going wild! If I could recommend just one must-have for the house right now, it’s this. Fruit flies, gnats, mosquitos, regular flies—you name it, they always find their way in, and it drives me nuts.

This little device is small but seriously mighty. I keep one on every floor of our home—even in the garage. The sticky trap refills are super affordable, last for months, and take seconds to swap out.

Trust me, you need this in your home. Total game-changer.

We’ve had our Neso Grande beach tent for a couple of years now, and it’s been a game-changer. It gives our family great shade, even on windy days.

We just use our kids’ sand shovel to fill the anchor bags and bury them a bit—that's kept it super secure, even in strong wind. If the wind shifts, we just move the poles to another corner. It’s that simple.

Honestly, it makes long beach days so much easier.

#LTKActive #LTKSummerEdit #LTKSeasonal

Our go-to beach setup two years running! The Neso Grande keeps our family cool and covered — no rattling, super easy to set up, and still going strong. This year, several families asked about it after seeing how quick it was to pitch — and how quiet it stayed compared to theirs!
