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!

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.

$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? 🍨

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.

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