Last minute shopping for the Fourth of July? Here are a few of my favorites to complete your patriotic celebrations!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I am absolutely speechless!!!!

I usually gravitate toward antiques and vintage finds, but I genuinely would have guessed these chinoiserie panels were several hundred dollars each. Nope!!!

The gold frame. The glass front. The scale. The gold leafed background. THE DETAIL 😍

And somehow they’re from Target for only?!

Now I just need help figuring out where to hang them them!! Downstairs in our foyer hallway or at the top of our stairs?! 😍

Comment “ART” and I’ll send over the link! You need to runnnn to go grab this!

This might be my favorite Target home decor find of all time and every grandmillennial’s dream.

Traditional home decor, chinoiserie, blue and white decor, English cottage style, collected interiors, antique-inspired decor… Target absolutely nailed this one.

Would you have guessed these were from Target?

The watering wand I use every day in my raised beds, flower beds, and kitchen garden. 🌿

This long handled watering wand makes it easy to water at the base of plants, reach the back of raised garden beds, and avoid constantly bending over while gardening.

If you’re looking for the best watering wand for a vegetable garden, raised bed garden, flower garden, or container garden, this is the one I personally use and recommend.

The easiest way to dress up a birthday cake! We picked up a baskin Robbin’s ice cream cake and scooped up this monster truck cake topper package and it was perfect for my son’s requested monster truck theme!

#LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie #LTKKids

We celebrated my sons 6th birthday this past weekend and he asked for a monster truck birthday! This cake topper kit was so perfect! We also ordered a few decorations that really made it feel special that didn’t cost much at all!

Meet pesto’s more outgoing cousin: chimichurri ✨

Bright, herby, garlicky, a little tangy, and somehow good on absolutely everything. I make this constantly during the summer and it never lasts more than a day in our house.

Drizzle over steak, spoon onto tacos, use it as a marinade for chicken or shrimp, toss with roasted potatoes, spread onto sandwiches, or serve with grilled vegetables and crusty bread. Or honestly… just eat it with a spoon.

My favorite knives @zwilling and food processor

Peony season is almost here 🌸

Peonies will start waking up this month in March, and in colder climates April. That means now is the time to install supports and fertilize them before the blooms get heavy.

I fertilize when the shoots are about 2–3 inches tall up to around a foot high in early spring. A slow release, low nitrogen fertilizer or bone meal works best because too much nitrogen will give you lots of leaves but fewer flowers.

Scatter the fertilizer in a ring around the plant about 6 inches away from the stems and lightly work it into the soil.

Comment PEONY and I’ll send you the peony supports and fertilizer I use in my garden.

🌸 Save this so you remember when yours start popping up.

I always keep disposable trays and cups stocked so I can drop off a full meal with zero stress about getting dishes back. It makes it easy to just show up. These insulated food carriers are a staple too. Hot food. No spills. Straight to the door.

The is the biggest I could smile while masking lol this is becoming my favorite way to decompress & self care. It forces me to park my booty on the couch and not move. After using one of these masks I catch myself being shocked how smooth my skin is for days after!

I’ve had 5 personal friends who have had enormous water leaks and full renovations in just the last year alone 🤯 WHY are these not standard for every home?! I purchased these a few months ago and totally forgot to place them throughout the house. Water is one of the leading causes of home damages. I need to buy another pack but immediately putting these out today. We’re placing them behind every toilet, under every sink, behind our washing machine, under our dog sink, under the dishwasher and behind all our refrigerators and even one next to our hot water heater, hvac unit and anywhere in the house where we don’t usually frequent.

These work just like fire alarms. You put batteries in them and as soon as they detect water, they set off an alarm

Loveeee our air fryer and these new silicone inserts that make clean up so easy! Perfect for quick easy meals!

It’s super durable, tons of great patterns, has the convenience loop I can use to hold my phone AND best part is it’s mag safe so the loop pops right off and you can add other accessories like a wallet or battery or attach it to a phone mount in your car. 20/10 stars for this phone case!!!

Feeling so thankful these days 💙 Nothing says love more than homemade and I love spoiling my people! And best part, it’s super affordable to make a big batch that gifts to several people. This batch made a ton!! It was SOO easy to make. Just set and forget it in a crock pot!

🍎 Homemade Apple Butter — the sweetest way to say “thank you” 🍂

All you need:
• 5½ lbs sweet apples (Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Fuji, or Gala — no need to peel!)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅛ tsp ground cloves
• 1 vanilla bean (or 1½ tsp vanilla extract)

How to make it:
1️⃣ Chop apples and toss into a slow cooker.
2️⃣ Mix sugars, cinnamon, salt, and cloves in a bowl, then pour over the apples and stir.
3️⃣ Cover and cook on low for 10 hours.
4️⃣ Blend until smooth, stir in vanilla, and cook uncovered for 2 more hours, stirring now and then.
5️⃣ Cool, jar it up, and store in the fridge — it keeps for about 2 weeks.

Spread it on biscuits, swirl into oatmeal, or gift it with a little note that says “thankful for you.” 🫶
