These puzzle sorting trays have quickly become one of my favorite things! I’ve enjoyed doing more puzzles this winter and love sorting colors or patterns onto these trays - which is also super helpful when I have such limited space available in our small city home.

It has been so dry in our house over the winter, but this filtered humidifier makes such a huge difference! We have one in our bedroom and one in our main living area on the first floor. I’m very sensitive to any mold, and I find these work really well with the air filters in the back - which also means we can use regular tap water with them.

This little cordless light that I got for camping also works great for lighting a puzzle table! We use this cordless lamp for travel, camping, and also lighting up blanket forts when my daughter insists that she needs more light! 😄 It’s rechargeable and also somewhat waterproof.

Cold weather essential: mini rechargeable hand warmers. They’re compact enough for little hands but still powerful for adults, and they warm up super fast. I love that they’re reusable and eco-friendly compared to disposable packs. If you need pocket-sized hand warmers for winter sports, school drop-off, or outdoor events, these are such a smart find.

I get compliments on this long puffer coat everywhere that I go in the winter! It’s like wearing a long blanket, and I love it - it has a two-way zipper (which makes it easier to sit down when wearing), and it is also water-resistant, which keeps rain and snow from soaking into the coat.

To add to the life-changing pillow update, I am also now using a silk pillowcase (don’t be fooled by the “satin” ones - they are not nearly as soft and luxurious!)

After a LOT of sleep issues (and neck and shoulder pain) over the past few months, I’ve been trying out so many different pillows and finally landed on the best pillow of my life! This is the Coop Premier Pillow - I snagged it from Target (but also available on Amazon) ‘cuz I really wanted it to be delivered same day! 😅 I went with the premier so it’s closest to a down alternative, but also has memory foam inside. It comes with extra “fluff” if you want to adjust to your preference! I am back to getting amazing sleep again and now I want to cry for joy (rather than cry for pain 😂)

When my husband got his REAL ID this winter, he came home thanking me profusely for making it easy for him to find all of the documents he needed to take with him 🥰 that’s the genius of this folio document folder from Savor - I love love LOVE this organization must-have for any home office!

This electric multi-cooker was on my wishlist for a long time & was finally added to our kitchen this Christmas! It is such a lovely upgrade from a standard slow-cooker. So far I’ve used it for pork carnitas as a slow cooker (I loved being able to set the amount of time that it stayed on slow-cooker and that it automatically moved to “keep warm” when it was done cooking!) We also used it for soup & it was so nice to use the saute feature to cook down the veggies before adding the other soup ingredients and turning it to slow cooker mode for the day. Bonus: the pan not only looks beautiful enough to set on the table for serving, but it’s also oven-proof!

we love reading from The Biggest Story Bible with our kids during dinner time. we light some candles, enjoy some food & read a story before the kids can leave the table

all of that said….. after waking up one morning in so much pain (literally crying) and had a major migraine all day, i bought this pillow from target and had it delivered same day. i went with the premier so it’s closest to a down alternative but also has memory foam inside. it comes with extra “fluff” if you to adjust to your preference! i am back to getting amazing sleep again and now i want to cry for joy (rather than cry for pain 😂)

Starting a little Valentine tradition over here 💌 I found these felt Valentine mailboxes for each of the kids (pink for my girl, red for my boy!) and hung them right on their bedroom doors with decorative Command hooks. Planning to sneak in lots of little valentines over the next few weeks—notes filled with love, encouragement, and sweet reminders of how loved they are. Such a simple way to make February feel extra special 🥰✨

I’m celebrating my 40th birthday today 🥂🎉 and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by giving back to this sweet community.

My 30s were full in the best ways—getting engaged, married, traveling to Moldova, South Africa, & the UK, welcoming our two beautiful babies, and starting my own business. And now… here’s to stepping into my 40s with excitement, gratitude, and so much trust in what the Lord has ahead (Lord-willing). 💛

To celebrate this next chapter, I’m giving away a bundle of a few of my favorite things:

✨ Starry Seasons Puzzle by @1canoe2
✨ Peace Under Pressure Bible Study + pastel highlighters from @thedailygraceco
✨ My FAVORITE coffee travel tumbler from @shopsimplemodern
✨ A variety pack of under eye patches from @graceandstella
✨ Lip Glaze from @laneige_us
✨ Large flat hair clip from @tele_ties (my newest obsession!)
✨ The coziest cloud socks from Amazon

see everything i’m putting in my kids’ stockings this year! (my kids are 6 & 3)

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

did you see my post about our new Elf? you can read the full story on my blog. but i also made some free elf letter templates if you want to use some of the same language that we did to invite the silly magic and fun of the elf without the “naughty or nice” watching over you aspect. 🤪

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

big things happening at bedtime tonight! but now i need to know… how much is the tooth fairy leaving these days?!! and is it different for the FIRST lost tooth?! 🦷✨🤪

#LTKKids #LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

ended my day with tea & cookies & started a movie with the hubs (but only half cuz i was too sleepy)

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKfoodie #LTKHoliday

i had a hard day yesterday. a bad attitude around every corner kind of day. i took a nap after church and the bad attitude persisted even after i woke up. i went out to do some holiday shopping and thought it cleared away, and it returned as soon as I crossed the threshold and entered the door.

but i refuse to let a bad attitude remain during this season. whether it’s hormonal, or just plain sin, i’m determined to set into practice a way to slow my mind and center my heart. i’m determined to set the mood in our home and for my kids. one of thankfulness and joy… one of kindness and love.

i love the season of advent. the anticipation. the centering of my mind and my heart. this year i’m gifting the kids some fun advent calendars so they can also feel that little bit of joy and anticipation each morning… but i’m also making sure we focus as a family (and my husband and I as individuals). I learned the hard way a few years ago to always order our advent studies as early as they are released, so this year we are prepared with the family bundle of advent devotionals from @thedailygraceco - and then I was also gifted a copy of the advent study for this year from @shereadstruth - perhaps the Lord knew that I was going to need some extra help centering my heart and mind this season. 😌

does anyone else feel like a pretty water bottle helps you drink more water?

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKfoodie

my other best friend - just elevated. 😅 i’ve been going through lots of tissues. this is the box cover that i got for my office bookshelf. it has a magnetic bottom which is awesome so that i can easily pick up the entire box. comes in lots of colors. i have the beige linen (it has rose gold trim)

It’s become family tradition that after we decorate the Christmas tree, the kids get new Christmas pajamas for the season (I usually size up so they can wear them for 2 seasons), and a new Christmas book. This year I also added in some Yoto card audiobooks.

was time for an upgrade and the sale on this smart tv was just too good!!

for anyone else dealing with a sore or scratchy throat, i highly recommend this spray!

#LTKTravel #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

they’re not as cheap as my previous pair from target, but they are still under $50 which is a lot better than other large name brands that i had been researching. so many CUTE colors. i’ll keep an eye and let you know if they ever go on sale!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder50

i’m just at that stage of life now where comfort needs to win out over cute….. but a huge bonus when they align 😍 // this right here is why i bought these rain boots and they are truly like walking on a cloud
