How did we live without this for over a year?!?

Our loft has been completely transformed by this. Not just in looks, but functionality and use. You can always find at least one of the kids up here coloring, reading, or just hanging out with a book.

If you have a space you’ve been putting off making more functional for your family, just go for it! It doesn’t need to be an over the top make-over. An easy win can make a world of difference.

Now to start planning the other half of the room. What’s something you definitely would want in a video game room?

Making this the year of passing on traditions.

There’s something so special about continuing on what’s already been loved. Teaching your kids your famiyl’s go-to game. Perfecting grandma’s cookie recipe. Letting familiar things find new hands.

My hope is that when life feels heavy this year, these simple rituals help connect us, recenter us, and help us remember the important things are often the quiet, ordinary moments.

What traditions are you passing on this year? Does your family have a favorite game you’re teaching your kids?

Easy and affordable library wall. Kids playroom, game room, craft room.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKKids

Our family uses this almost every day. Safer for little helpers than a traditional grater, and helps us eat better cheese vs pre shredded.
Once you taste the difference you won’t want to go back.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie

If you love tricky cooperative games, this one is a must. You’re essentially ranking poker hands. Requires some deduction, critical thinking, and some luck.
Exciting when you get it right.
(Which we did not do much today 😅)
My brother in law said he could have played this one all night long.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKmomlife

Had to play this one with my family today.
Super simple, yet tricky. And the theme is so good!
Easy family game. Spring board game

An easy Sub station for lunch was music to my ears. 😅

Library home inspo. We put this wall together in one evening and it transformed the room!

Cricut and heat press T-shirt crafting set up.

My teen daughter has been loving crafting and creating with her cricut. Great for making stickers, t shirts, and customizing things.

#LTKHome #LTKKids

Researched this heat press like crazy. With so many young kids in the house we wanted one that was safe for both her and for younger curious kids.

The heating element is nice and tucked away and I like the sliding drawer to keep you from needing to put your hands under the machine.

January isn’t the time for a personality overhaul, it’s the time to start planning a year you’ll enjoy living!

Our family bucket list helps us turn goals into experiences. We keep things fun and can build habits without burnout. If we check off even half the things on our list, I know we’ll have a pretty great year!

If you want a simple way to plan your year that feels motivating not miserable, I’ve shared it on our website !
