Small swaps = big impact 🌎 Instead of tossing plastic baggies every day, I use @bboxforkids reusable sandwich bags. Less waste, more savings, and they actually hold up to toddler chaos.

There’s nothing like a night out to a summer country concert! This outfit was perfect for a warm summer night. A simple white tank top, jean shorts, and cowboy boots!

Also - it’s time to up your game with your clear bag for stadiums and concerts! I’ve linked the one I love and use below from Target, as well as a few other super cute ones!

Tired of lemons going bad on the counter? Me too.
Grab a juicer and some plastic cups, and get to squeezing! These lemon juice cups freeze perfectly, and are ready to be added to any recipe!

I fill the cups with 2 tbsp, and then pop them into the freezer. You can also do this with your limes too. Just make sure to label your lids :)

I love my Owala bottles, so I was so happy to find cute Owala kids cups too! I have these in both plastic and stainless steel. They come in cute colors without the crazy prints!

They are not completely leak/spill proof, so you’ll want to make sure they stay upright. But they are excellent straw tumblers for your kids!!

Calling all Disney fans! Whether for an adult or kid, these pillows are the absolute cutest accents to any room!

Grab these pillows from Target / Pillowfort. They have Disney side kicks, Marvel, and Princess pillows. I threw some links below. Enjoy!!

Ok but in all seriousness - this hooded Hulk blanket is pretty amazing 🤣 my 2.5 year old loves the Hulk, and it’s been slim pickings to find cute Hulk things for him until Target launched the cutest Marvel line! Check out these adorable target finds for your super hero loving kids!

As my kids get older, our play room continues to shift and mold.

We repurposed an old toddler bed into the playroom to create a reading nook. It’s a cozy corner where the kids can lounge and immerse themselves into their favorite books.

These Disney pillows from Target were the perfect addition! I love the “Off characters” or side kicks, and these were just too cute not to grab!

I hate flies. Like truly, deeply despise them. But no matter how hard I try, they somehow always find their way in during the summer months. 😩 I finally caved and ordered these fly fans from Amazon, and I have to say — they actually work! They definitely keep the flies away from our food long enough for me to not lose my mind. Worth it. 🪰🚫

I liked these ones because of the wood look, but they have some other black ones as well that I’ll link below!

Mom and Dad - wedding guest edition 😍

I recently got my “colors” done, and found out that I’m a Dark Autumn. This emerald dress from Show Me Your Mumu was absolutely perfect! The best part - it comes in almost every color, and is the perfect dress for any wedding guest (or even bridesmaid).

My husband paired it with a navy suit and matching emerald tie!

Kids living their best life is what I want my motherhood to be all about. 💕
So I try to make my spaces kid friendly, but also relaxing for adults. I got this wonderful sideboard that holds all of the kids’ toys, but when it’s closed it looks so nice 😂

By no surprise at all, I’ve spotted some must have kids’ rugs at Walmart. The best part? They are all under $30! These rugs will transform your neutral playrooms into fun play spaces. 😍

You gotta do what you gotta do 🤷‍♀️

This Delta toddler bed from Walmart was perfect for our situation. I wanted to add a toddler bed for Benny in our room, to help ease him out of our bed, but still stay close. It was quick to build, and came with 3 different bookshelf attachments to chose from! 😍

Does anyone else have a co-sleeping toddler? (It’s the older one 😅) we’re trying out something new with having this toddler bed in our room, so he can still be close to us.

This Delta Children’s toddler bed was pretty easy to build, and Benny loved that it came with stickers for him to decorate the headboard!
