Outdoor mud kitchens are one of my favorite backyard toys for grandkids.

My granddaughter loves making potions, mud pies, and using her imagination outside.

This wooden outdoor play kitchen encourages creative play, sensory activities, and hours of fun in the backyard.

Such a great gift idea for toddlers, preschoolers, and grandkids.

I made this for Quinn’s birthday and filled it with all the little extras—mixing bowls, sensory jars, flower petals, herbs, a lemonade dispenser, and more.

Watching her imagination take over is my favorite part. 💛

I’ve linked the mud kitchen plus the accessories I used (or similar options) to recreate this setup for your littles or grands!

$20 and an afternoon with my grands = a memory I’ll never forget. 🍦

This little ice cream maker turned into the sweetest afternoon. Check your local Walmart for this exact one—it’s still popping up in some stores! If you can’t find it, I’ve tagged a few similar options below.

Now tell me… what’s your favorite homemade ice cream flavor? 🍨

I am loving this little propagation station. It’s such an easy way to display plant cuttings while adding a little warmth and character to a shelf

Okay, this is one of my new favorite beauty finds. 🙌

As I’ve gotten older, my skin has changed, and finding makeup that actually helps my foundation look smooth has become a whole thing. 😅

I’ve been using this e.l.f. Liquid Poreless Putty Primer under my Estée Lauder foundation, and the difference is amazing. It helps blur pores, smooth texture, and gives my makeup a much better finish throughout the day.

For the price, this one has earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag.

#LTKmomlife #LTKmorningroutine #LTKOver40

I have been looking for fun graphic tees for the longest time, and I finally found them! 🤩

These Magellan Outdoors tees at Academy are only $9.99 and come in so many cute designs and colors.

I linked my favorites ⬇️ because a good graphic tee under $10 is hard to beat!
