Last year I planted my first few cut flowers just to see what would grow… and somehow that turned into my first official little cut flower garden. 🌸 I was instantly addicted, being able to cut my own bouquet from my backyard each week was so rewarding. This year I’m adding a few more to my raised beds, a mix of flowers that worked for me last season and a few new ones I’m excited to try. If you’re starting a beginner cut flower garden, these are all great flowers to grow for bouquets. Zinnias Cosmos Bachelor’s Buttons Strawflower Painted Daisies Im just learning as I go and planting things that make the garden feel a little more colorful. ✨ Save this for your spring garden plans.

When a new season comes around, I don’t do a full house reset. But I do love adding a few small touches of seasonal charm. Just enough to make it feel fresh. And my favorite way to do this is by changing out my faux stems throughout the house. Tell me… are you a full reset girl or a small seasonal swaps kind of girl? #springvibes🌸 #cozyhomedecor #makingahome #cozyhomevibes #seasonalliving
These are the kind of bowls that just make everyday meals feel prettier. I grabbed them on sale and honestly wish I had sooner. The soft neutral color + the little beaded edge detail feel timeless and cozy but still simple enough for everyday use (which is important in a house with 5 kids 😅). They’re perfect for pasta nights, big salads, cereal, or those random “everyone’s eating something different” dinners. They’re currently on sale and such a good staple piece if you’re slowly building a kitchen you love. #LTKmomlife #LTKSaleAlert #LTKHome

💌 A love note to my coffee bar… For years, my espresso machine lived on the counter. I’d swap out mugs with the seasons, add little festive touches, and quietly dream of having a real coffee bar… a place to decorate, linger, and truly enjoy. It always felt like a maybe someday dream. A few months ago, while reorganizing the house, I realized my dresser didn’t quite belong anymore. But it was the perfect height for a coffee bar, and suddenly, the idea felt possible. As Christmas approached, I started imagining what this space could become. A cozy corner to sip coffee slowly, work on a puzzle together, and linger a little longer. When we lived in NYC, we used to visit a small café at Christmas time, ornaments hanging from the ceiling, lights everywhere. The kids loved it. I carried that vision with me into this space this season. Now this little corner holds hot cocoa mornings, spilled sprinkles, sticky fingers, and our pup basking in the sun. It’s more than a coffee bar. It’s a small, cozy piece of home 🤍 #cozychristmas #cozyhomevibes #christmasmagic #christmas #christmasseason
📝 A love note to this week. It’s been a week of slowly wrapping up our Christmas decorating. I worried that being sick would keep me from getting as much decor up as I hoped, but little by little, it came together. This week has been full of festive warm mugs in my hands, flour-dusted counters, the smell of cookies lingering in the air, half-finished puzzles, cozy twinkly lights in every corner, and a house that feels lived in and loved. The kids wake each morning eager to see where our elf Sparkles is hiding or what he’s been into. We’ve shared many hot cocoa mornings despite the warm Texas weather. I’m soaking in these views, and the magic, for as long as I can, because Christmas is my favorite season, and it always goes by far too quickly. 📸 Sunday snapshots, tucked away for the years when this season lives only in memory #momlife #cozyhome #beautyintheordinary #everydaymagic #cozychristmas Texas Hill Country • homemaker • Christmas at home • Christmas with kids • cozy home • cozy Christmas • country living • moms of instagram #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKHoliday

If we were sitting together over iced lattes and you asked me what’s actually worth buying for back-to-school, this is exactly what I’d tell you 👇 ☑️ A label maker (Sharpies won’t cut it) ☑️ A kids’ thermos with spoon (keeps mac + cheese warm 🙌) ☑️ Miss Mouth’s stain treater (because stains are guaranteed) ☑️ A morning routine chart (saves my sanity at 7am) ☑️ A kids’ bento box with utensils (everything has a spot) ☑️ An Alexa Show for kids (timers, reminders, even playlists 🎶) ☑️ To-go iced coffee cups (carline survival fuel ☕✨) Nothing fancy, just the little things making school days smoother for us right now.

Perfect for lunch boxes, water bottles, folders, and every random supply that needs to make it back home. #LTKBacktoSchool #LTKFinds #LabelMaker #MomLifeHacks #BacktoSchool #LTKFamily #LTKSaleAlert #LTKKids
The real back-to-school supply list no one talks about… ☕ Coffee — because mornings come fast and early. 🎨 A label maker — because nothing humbles a mom faster than handwriting names on 200 crayons, glue sticks, and folders. 💁🏻‍♀️ A mom just trying to keep the chaos somewhat organized. It’s not the list they send home, but it’s the one that actually gets us through the season. Because between meet-the-teacher nights, new shoes, sports sign-ups, and packing lunches, the last thing I need is my hand cramping from writing my kids’ names on a million items. So yes, coffee fuels me, the label maker saves my sanity, and together… we just might make it through August. 😂 #BackToSchoolHacks #MomLifeUnfiltered #RelatableMom #momlife #BackToSchoolSeason #MomHumor #momtips #BusyMomLife

If you’re traveling this summer with a toddler that is potty training here are some essentials to make your traveling a little more stress free. These leak proof underwear are our favorite. A water proof car seat is essential for keeping car seats clean from accidents on those longer trips. Dont forget disposable liners so little hands aren’t grabbing a germs toilet seat. If you’re worried about toilet seats being too big for your little one to sit you can grab this foldable cover. And my favorite for those long stretches of highways without a rest stop, a foldable portable toilet with liners so you’re always prepared.
