One of my favorite little upgrades for my Fujifilm X100VI. 🌸

These petal shutter buttons and matching hot shoe cover add just the right amount of personality without being over the top. They’re small, functional, and make me smile every time I pick up my camera. 🤍

I’ve linked them here for anyone wanting to add a little charm to their camera setup.

One of our favorite summer traditions is ending the day around a campfire. 🤍

With T1D in the family, I’m always looking for simple swaps that let my son enjoy the same moments as everyone else. These ChocZero S’mallows have become our go-to for campfire s’mores nights, soft, fluffy, and no added sugar.

Because childhood should still include sticky fingers, campfires, and s’mores. ☀️🔥

Diabetic friendly, carb friendly, keto friendly, gluten free.

Diabetic friendly marshmallows

#LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie #LTKdayinmylife

Cream cheese frosting is one of my favorites, so I couldn’t wait to try this one. 🤍 A keto-friendly, lower-sugar option that could be great for birthdays and celebrations when you’re trying to be a little more mindful of blood sugar

living in-between homes right now has made me realize how much comfort lives in the little things 🤍

the familiar coffee.
the espresso machine coming with us.
the same morning routine, even in a different kitchen.

it’s funny how something so small can make everything feel a little steadier during a season that feels so uncertain.

i think military life slowly teaches you how to build home over and over again… not just in houses, but in routines, people, and tiny moments that make unfamiliar places feel a little more like you.

for now, home looks a little temporary.
but the coffee still tastes like home, and somehow that helps ☕️

Okay this is actually one of those things that’s both cute and useful and I’m kind of obsessed 🇺🇸

Picked up this first aid kit and the print sold me instantly, perfect for military families, first responders, police families, or just a little 4th of July / American pride moment year-round.

One of those things you hope you don’t need… but love having on hand (and not ugly 😅)

I swear it was the only thing I could see every time I looked at the house 😅

like we have this beautiful yard, the landscaping, the front of the house…
and my eyes went straight to the AC unit every single time

so I finally did something about it

nothing major, just a simple AC unit cover
but it made such a difference in how everything looks and feels

proof that small home upgrades and easy outdoor projects can completely change a space 🤍

if you want what I used, comment “AC” and I’ll send it your way 🤍

soft endings to long days 🤍🫖

lately I’ve been reaching for a simple cup of lavender chamomile at night… something about the ritual of it feels grounding in the middle of all the chaos

this little tea setup has become one of my favorite slow moments—warm mug, loose leaf tea, and a few quiet minutes before bed ✨

There’s just something about slowing down at the end of the day 🤍
lately it’s been a warm cup of herbal tea… and this little steeper I reach for every time.

it’s simple, easy to use, and makes loose leaf tea feel like such a cozy little ritual instead of a chore ☕️✨
(plus it keeps everything contained so you’re not fishing out leaves 😅)

linking the exact one I use here 🤍

#LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife #LTKMothersDay

we didn’t rip it out…
we just worked with what we had 🤍

this old, broken walkway used to bother me every time I looked at it…
and now it’s one of my favorite little spots outside

and the craziest part?
we’re fixing it up… just to leave it behind

making this house feel like home for the next family here
the same way we did for ours 🤍

proof you don’t always need a full renovation
sometimes a little vision (and a lot of effort 😅) goes a long way

wait until you realize it’s just pour, sweep, and water…
comment “walkway” and I’ll send you what I used 🤍

one day they’ll say…
“my mom always had snacks ready after school” 🤍

and right now it doesn’t feel like anything big…
some days it’s simple like cut veggies, cheese, and whatever I can pull from the fridge

just something ready when they walk in
when they’re hungry and talking and all in that after school energy

it’s the way they gather around the table
the little conversations in between bites

that’s the part I hope they remember

nothing fancy… just home 🤍

I’ve been using this a couple times a week for about a month now and I genuinely look forward to it 🤍

It’s one of those little things that makes you feel like you have your life together… even if everything else is chaos 😅

My skin always feels so soft and smooth after, like a reset button for my face at the end of the day. Not too harsh, just enough to feel like it’s actually doing something.

It’s become part of my simple routine lately and I don’t see myself skipping it anytime soon ✨

Spring dresses that make getting dressed feel easy 🤍🌸

These are the kind of pieces you can throw on and instantly feel a little more put together—whether it’s school drop off, errands, or slow mornings at home.

I’ve been loving simple, comfortable dresses like these lately… the kind you’ll actually reach for again and again.

Linked a few of my favorite American Eagle finds that are perfect for everyday spring wear ✨

Target finds never disappoint and this pink gingham water bottle might be my favorite one yet. 💗

The soft pink checkered pattern is giving spring picnic meets cozy mom life and it’s the perfect size for coffee, water, or tossing in your bag for school pickup, errands, or garden days.

Linking this Target gingham insulated bottle because it’s one of those cute + practical finds that sells out fast

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.

What flowers are you growing this year?

Honestly… turning cereal into dessert might be one of my better mom ideas. 🍀

There’s something about stepping outside with coffee and checking on the garden that instantly slows everything down.

Maybe it’s the quiet.
Maybe it’s watching things grow.

Either way… it helps.

We’re almost to barefoot in the garden with coffee season… and honestly, I can’t wait. ☕️🌿

One of my favorite parts of this time of year is stepping outside in the morning and checking the garden before the day really starts.

Our barefoot coffee mornings and new blooms are almost here.

Backyard garden diaries: Week 2

Cleaning up the garden today means pulling weeds, clearing leaves, and slowly getting things ready for spring.

I always forget how rough a garden looks before it starts blooming. Right now it’s a little messy… but it’s already so much better than where we started.

This is the part of gardening you don’t always see all the slow work before everything starts blooming.

Honestly, I can’t even remember everything I planted last year… so when things start coming back it’ll be a surprise for all of us. 😅🌿

If you’re also working on your backyard garden this season, save this to come back to later.

Question for my fellow gardeners… do you have anything blooming in your garden right now?

#backyardgarden #springgardenprep #momog #cozygarden #butterflygarden

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Every time I clean the house I get about 7 seconds to enjoy it before life happens again and the kids destroy it. 😂

It may not officially be spring yet, but it sure feels like it in Texas.

Things have started blooming, the weather has been beautiful, and we’ve been spending as much time outside as we can.

Just a little glimpse of pieces of our days lately.

These ordinary days end up being the ones we remember most. 🤍

Which little moment would you pick?

1️⃣ Coffee outside
2️⃣ Garden discoveries
3️⃣ Kids playing outside
4️⃣ A trip to the garden center

Finding a dinner all 5 of my kids will eat is rare… but this one works every time. 🙌

With 5 kids and very different food preferences, dinner can feel like a gamble. Someone usually doesn’t like something. But these Alfredo chicken bacon rollups are one of those meals that everyone happily eats.

I also love that it comes together in just a few minutes. Mix, roll them up, bake, and dinner is basically done.

Saving this one for those busy nights.

Alfredo Chicken Bacon Rollups

Ingredients
• 1 lb rotisserie chicken (shredded)
• 1 block cream cheese, softened
• 1–2 cups freshly grated mozzarella
• bacon bits
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 cans crescent dough
• 1 jar Alfredo sauce

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a bowl mix chicken, cream cheese, bacon, mozzarella and all seasonings.
3. Open crescent dough and place a scoop of the mixture in the center of each roll.
4. Roll them up and place in a 9×13 baking dish.
5. Pour Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with more mozzarella and a little Italian seasoning.
6. Bake 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Easy dinner, minimal effort, and everyone actually eats it. That’s a win in this house.

Save this one for later 🤍

The perfect spring dress 🌿

This flowy smocked maxi is one of those dresses that works for everything, date night, brunch, family photos, or a spring event. It’s lightweight, flattering, and really comfortable to wear.

I love the feminine shape and soft neutral color, just add sandals now or a denim jacket on cooler nights.

Such an easy throw-on-and-look-put-together dress for spring 🤍

This week’s coffee obsession ☕️

Lately it’s been a cookie dough iced latte in the afternoons, a little kick before school pickup lines and the dinner rush with kids.

Kept the milk spill in just to keep it real 😂

Just:
– Ice
– A splash (or more) of @chobani cookie dough creamer
– Cold milk
– An espresso shot

Stir. Reset. Keep going. 🤍

It’s a small thing, but it makes the afternoon feel a little more manageable.

What are you loving in your coffee lately?

This lip gloss + comfy tee combo has been on repeat lately 🤍

The gloss is one of those easy everyday ones that makes you look a little more put together without trying too hard, smooth, lightweight, and the perfect subtle shine.

And this shirt is exactly the kind of basic I love having in my closet. Soft, comfortable, and easy to throw on with leggings, jeans, or even for school pickup runs.

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?
