How cute is this dragonfly?! 🩷

Lauren surprised me with it just because she was thinking of me, and those are always the sweetest gifts. I love adding meaningful pieces to my home, and this one makes me smile every time I see it.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all my travels… comfort wins every single time! 🙌

This matching set is so soft, lightweight, and comfy enough for long travel days, road trips, airport runs, or just lounging at home. And can we talk about the POCKETS?! 😍 You know I’m sold the second an outfit has pockets!

I’ll definitely be packing this on my next adventure because looking cute and being comfortable is always the goal. 💕

I LOVE summer… ☀️ but this sweatshirt has me almost ready to trade the sunshine for crisp mornings, pumpkin patches, and cozy coffee runs. 🍁🎃

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually excited to wear it in just a few weeks! Fall has a way of making everything feel just a little cozier, and I am here for it.

If you’re counting down to sweatshirt season too, I’ve linked this one below! 🧡

EEEEEK!! 🤩📦

Lauren got the mail first and immediately texted me because the package literally said “CONFIDENTIAL.” 😂💜

This new Kiehl’s serum just launched yesterday, and I still can’t believe we get to try it! I can’t wait to see the results over the next 8 weeks and share my honest thoughts with you.

If you want to be one of the first to try it, I’ve linked it below! ✨💜

I may not be ready for fall… but I am ready for fall clothes. 🤎🍂

Cozy sweatshirts, great denim, neutral sneakers, and the perfect bag? Count me in.

I’ll hang onto the sunshine a little longer, but I’m definitely adding these pieces to my closet.

Lauren gave me this journal and I haven’t put it down.

“A Mother’s Life” is a guided journal that asks the questions I never think to answer on my own. My childhood. What I was scared of. What I’m proud of.

Every page is one more thing my girls will have long after I’m gone. I want them to know everything about me!

Lauren and I saw these in a little store in Colorado on one of our travels and I didn’t grab them at the time.

Big mistake.

I couldn’t stop thinking about them, so I looked them up on Amazon and bam — “Dumb Things My Kid Said” and “Future Blackmail” showed up on my doorstep. One for the memories, one for the leverage. 😍

Every mom needs both.

Linking them ⬇️!

Got this candle in the mail from Lauren and it might be my most favorite gift ever!!! “Mom’s Last Nerve… oh look, it’s on fire.”

So true it hurts. 🤭🔥

Tagging it below in case you need one too (or need to gift one to the mom in your life who’s hanging on by a thread).

Got this for Gracie and Lyla May and they LOVE it!

This bottle doubles as a food/treat holder, water and snacks covered in one hand.

She loves taking it on walks/hikes and in the car!

Quinn gave this popcorn maker her full endorsement. Arms out, big smile, the whole show.

It pops a full batch in under 3 minutes, no oil required if you want it plain, and the clear dome lets the kids watch it work. We used Orville Redenbacher kernels and popping oil for this batch.

Movie nights with the grandkids just got a lot more fun. Link is in the comments if you want one for your own kitchen.

I was honestly expecting that weird protein aftertaste… but this surprised me. 👏

Lauren gave it a 10/10, and I have to agree. It’s light, refreshing, has 20g of protein, and doesn’t taste like a typical protein drink.

If you’re trying to get more protein in (especially during busy days), this one’s worth trying. 💚

Garden update from my oldest!

🌱 She’s growing tomatoes, herbs, and watermelon in these raised metal garden beds, with sunflowers and wildflowers blooming all around her greenhouse.

There are so many fun things popping up out there right now.

I love getting these little glimpses into the life she’s building.

I linked the exact raised beds, pruning shears, trellis system, melon cages, and the wildflower and sunflower seeds if you want to start growing your own.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal

I’m picturing this in a reading nook, or honestly, in Quinn’s room. Grandkids and swan pillows just go together.

Linked ⬇️ so you can grab one before they’re gone.

Okay so I saw these giant inflatable islands out on the lake when I was in Colorado and immediately started wondering where in the world people were finding them.

Fast forward to walking into Sam’s Club and there they were, just sitting right there 😂

So cute, fits up to 6 adults, and everyone on that lake looked like they were having the best time. AND it’s on sale for $99.48 right now which feels like a steal for something this fun.

Mimi Learns Pickleball!!

Okay guys I am SO excited to start playing pickleball! 🎾

I know this isn’t the fanciest kit out there, but when you’re just figuring out if you even like a sport, you don’t need to drop a fortune to find out.

Got this Performance Pickleball Kit from Sam’s Club and it comes with everything — paddle, sleeve, 2 balls. Cute enough that I don’t hate carrying it around either. Linked below!

Don’t worry I will report back on whether I’m any good lol.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKfitnessgoals

51? Yep. ❤️

And yes… you’ll still find me shopping at Aerie. 😂

One of my favorite things about this season of life is finally wearing what makes me happy instead of worrying about what anyone else thinks.

Comfy shorts? Yep.
Oversized sweaters? Absolutely.
Graphic tees? Every chance I get.

Life’s too short to stop wearing clothes that make you smile.

Pink + practical? Say less. 🍉💗

I couldn’t resist these adorable watermelon snack boxes! The removable compartments make them perfect for lunches, road trips, pool days, charcuterie snacks, or keeping little hands happy on the go. Sometimes functional can be fun too!

Sometimes the best Fourth of July memories don’t involve fireworks…

Sometimes they’re barefoot little girls in the cutest Hanna Andersson nightgown, showing off their “fashion show” before bedtime at Mimi’s house. ❤️

These are the moments I wish I could bottle up forever.

Something you may not know about me… I own almost as many pairs of sunglasses as I do shoes. 😅☀️

It’s a problem. I’m not looking for a solution. These are my current go-to shades, paired with the tote and sneakers I basically live in right now.
