POV: Your toddler thinks every bag is for him. 😂🥐 This was our first pastry pickup from Mercantile and Mash, and it definitely won’t be our last! We grabbed 2 surprise pastry bags through the new app we’ve been trying, and everything looked so good. One thing I loved? If you’re local, they have a huge parking lot, which makes picking up downtown so much easier. Now for the fun part… 👀 Can you guess how much each bag was worth before I reveal it? Drop your guess below! ⬇️ #CharlestonSC #CharlestonFoodie #PastryLover #CharlestonFood #ToddlerMom #LTKKids #LTKfoodie #LTKdayinmylife
I thought we were having a nice little story time… apparently he thought it was snack time. 📚😂 Every page made it approximately two seconds before it ended up in his mouth. I guess this is one way to become a book lover early. 🤍 Anyone else’s baby convinced that books are edible? #StoryTime #BabyLife #MomHumor #BookwormInTraining #RelatableMomContent #LTKdayinmylife #LTKKids #LTKBaby
I’ve only had my Tahoe for a few months, and I’m somehow still discovering hidden features. 😂 I had no idea this compartment was there until today. Did you already know about it, or am I not alone? #ChevyTahoe #TahoeLife #HiddenFeatures #CarTips #DidYouKnow #LTKTravel #LTKstorytime #LTKdayinmylife

If I only have 2 minutes, this is what I’m doing. ✨ My nighttime skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated to make me feel put together at the end of the day. A quick toner, serum, night cream, and under-eye patches are usually all I have time for—and honestly, simple works best for me. What skincare step can you never skip before bed? 👇 #NighttimeRoutine #SkincareRoutine #MomLife #SimpleSkincare #SelfCareRoutine #LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty
#ad Summer skincare has to be simple over here or it’s just not happening. I’ve been using these Earth Harbor products for a quick routine that makes my skin feel hydrated, fresh, and glowy without adding a bunch of extra steps to my mornings. Most days I’m doing this routine in just a few minutes before jumping back into mom life 🤍 Everything I used is linked in my LTK ✨ #liketkit #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine #LTKBeauty
A little stay-at-home mom reset before the day starts. Nothing fancy — just a quick skincare routine and refreshing the curls around my face so I feel a little more put together before school drop off, errands, and chasing two boys around all day. Some days it’s 5 quiet minutes… and honestly that’s enough. #sahmmorning #momlifereal #stayathomemomlife #curlyhairmom #simplemomroutine #LTKgrwm #LTKmorningroutine #LTKmomlife

I tossed this into my cart on a whim during my last e.l.f. order, and now I’m kicking myself for only buying one. 😂 This new e.l.f. Thirst Burst PlumpTide Lip Treatment is SO good. It gives my lips the perfect hydrated feel without being sticky, and the scent/flavor is honestly delicious. My lips have stayed soft for hours, and it’s already earned a permanent spot in my bag. If you’re placing an e.l.f. order, add this to your cart—you’ll thank me later. 🤍 #LTK #LTKBeauty #ElfCosmetics #AffordableBeauty #LipCare #LTKselfcare #LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty
Ran out… but not really because I always keep a backup of my favorite toner ready 🤍 This e.l.f. toner is one of my holy grails for keeping my skin smooth, clear, and feeling refreshed. If I finish a bottle, there’s already another one waiting. #LTKmorningroutine #LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare
New lip find 💕 The Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm in Sherbet Punch from e.l.f. Cosmetics has a buildable coral tint with glossy shine and a buttery formula that hydrates and smooths your lips. #LTKSpringSale #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

✨ Mermaid vibes without the salon price. These are the Sanded press-on nails, and I don’t think the photos even do them justice. The soft velvet nude finish, pearl shimmer, and tiny gold seashell details make them perfect for summer, beach trips, or just adding a little something extra to everyday outfits. I’ve been so impressed with how comfortable these are, and they give you a salon-quality look in just a few minutes. If you love neutral nails with a fun coastal twist, these are definitely worth grabbing. 🤍 Short almond shape 🐚 Velvet finish with pearl & gold shell details 💅 Waterproof, vegan & cruelty-free ✨ Up to 2 weeks of wear with proper application #LTKBeauty #PressOnNails #SummerNails #CoastalStyle #NeutralNails #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKmomlife
The real nail test starts here. 💅🥤 Because if they can survive opening a can, wrangling kids, digging through my purse, and all the other random things I use them for… they’re officially approved. 😂 Anyone else use their nails as tools, or is that just me? #PressOnNails #MomLife #NailCheck #EverydayMom #ThriftyWithBrittany #LTKdayinmylife #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare
Nap trapped and admiring my latest set 💛🍋 These are the Glamnetic Aperitivo Hour press-ons and they might be my favorite summer nails yet. The lemon details, olive accents, and soft yellow tips are such a fun twist on a neutral manicure. They’re short enough for mom life, easy to apply, and still look put together while I’m spending most of my day holding a baby. Perfect if you want something seasonal without going over the top. 🍋✨ #LTKBeauty #LTKStyle #SummerNails #PressOnNails #MomStyle #Glamnetic #NailInspo #AffordableBeauty #LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Well… this one is on me. 😂 I wanted to try DIVI’s Root Touch Up on a few of my thinning spots, but I accidentally ordered a shade that was way too light for my hair color. The result? Let’s just say it wasn’t giving what I hoped it would give. 🤦🏼‍♀️ This isn’t a bad review of the product at all—I just picked the wrong shade. If anything, this is your reminder to double-check the color before you order! Have you ever bought the wrong shade of something and immediately regretted it? #ThriftyWithBrittany #DIVI #HairCareJourney #PostpartumHairLoss #MomLifeFinds #LTKmomlife #LTKBeauty #LTKdayinmylife

Postpartum hair loss hit me hard after I had Aiden. I was already feeling self-conscious about it… and then the comments started. People telling me I looked sick. That I was too skinny / needed to gain weight. That I should stop breastfeeding. It stuck with me more than I’d like to admit. This time around after having Philip, I decided to be proactive instead of anxious about it. I started taking collagen about a year ago and used a thickening serum throughout my pregnancy to help support my hair before postpartum even started. And when the thinning spots show up? A little part switch and curling my hair works wonders. Mom life teaches you a lot… but one of the biggest lessons for me has been learning not to let other people’s opinions define how I feel about myself. If you’re going through postpartum hair loss too… you’re not alone 🤍 #postpartumhairloss #momlife #postpartumbody #momconfidence #postpartumjourney #LTKmomlife #LTKBaby #LTKselfcare

This is a great little upgrade if your car already has wired Apple CarPlay. 🙌 I found the hidden USB inside my Tahoe’s secret compartment and plugged in a wireless CarPlay adapter (after a suggestion on my last post). Now my phone connects automatically every time I start the car—no more digging for a cable or plugging it in before every drive. Such a small change, but it makes the whole car feel so much more convenient. If you have a vehicle with wired CarPlay, this is definitely worth looking into! Do you use wireless CarPlay already, or are you plugging your phone in every trip? 👇 #CarHack #ChevyTahoe #AppleCarPlay #MomCar #AmazonFinds #LTKTravel #LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime

I had no idea what would be inside, but I love a good surprise—especially when it involves pastries. 🥐✨ This was my first mystery bakery pickup, and I can’t wait to try everything that was inside. It all looked so good! 🤍 Would you let a bakery choose your order, or do you have to pick everything yourself? If you’ve been curious about trying these surprise pickups, let me know! I have a link that gets you a discount on your first one. #CharlestonSC #CharlestonEats #BakeryFinds #FoodieFinds #BudgetFriendly #LTKdayinmylife #LTKfoodie #LTKvlog

Part 2 of the stair transformation! 🪚 The carpet is officially gone, thanks to David jumping in to help speed things up. 🙌 Aiden also stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were doing everything to his standards… every project needs a general contractor. 😂 Now that I can finally see the original stairs, it’s time for the tedious part: pulling what feels like a million nails. Slow progress is still progress. Part 3 is coming soon! 🤎 #DIYHome #StairMakeover #HomeRenovation #DIYProject #BeforeAndAfter #LTKHome #LTKstorytime #LTKActive
I finally stopped talking about it and started ripping up the carpet. 😂 Yes, there were what felt like a million nails and staples hiding underneath… but seeing the original stairs in such great condition has me even more excited to keep going. This is definitely going to be a process, so consider this Part 1 of our stair makeover. Follow along and let’s see how these old stairs turn out! 🏡✨ #DIYStairs #HomeRenovation #DIYProjects #StairMakeover #HomeTransformation #LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome #LTKmomlife
📚 Prime Day Kindle Deal! If you’ve been thinking about getting a Kindle, this is one of the best prices I’ve seen! 🤍 As a busy mom, being able to read one-handed during naps, nursing sessions, or while my little one plays has helped me get back into reading. I’ve been using mine constantly, and it’s easily one of my favorite purchases this year. If it’s been on your wishlist, Prime Day is a great time to grab one! ✨ Linked in my LTK! #LTKSale #PrimeDayDeals #Kindle #BookTokMadeMeBuyIt #ReadingLife #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife #LTKSaleAlert

Middle school me would have thought this was the coolest thing I could ever own. 😂 One of my favorite parts of being an adult is buying the things that make you happy—even if they don’t make sense to anyone else. This shirt was 100% worth it. 😅 Now I need to know… what’s your favorite “unnecessary” adult purchase? 👇 #LordOfTheRings #GraphicTee #MillennialHumor #AdultMoney #ThriftyWithBrittany #LTKmomlife #LTKstorytime #LTKootd
Welcome to postpartum summer. The drinks aren’t always finished. The naps are unpredictable. The to-do list can wait. I’m soaking up the stroller walks, baby snuggles, and the little moments that I know I’ll miss someday. 💙 #PostpartumSummer #MomLife #BoyMom #MakingMemories #BreastfeedingMom #LTKdayinmylife #LTKKids #LTKmomlife
Birthday plans at 34? Give me cats, my siblings, my best friend, and a little bit of chaos. 🐈🤍 Spent my birthday at Pounce Cat Cafe soaking up all the kitty cuddles, making memories with some of my favorite people, and convincing myself that I definitely don’t need to bring a cat home. 😅 The older I get, the more I appreciate simple days filled with people I love. And apparently, a few furry friends too. 🐾 #BirthdayCelebration #PounceCatCafe #CharlestonSC #CatCafe #BirthdayMemories #LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKootd

New flavor unlocked 👀🍓🍋 I’ve been drinking Yū Hydrate for a while now, so I was excited to try the new Strawberry Lemonade flavor. First sip reactions are in the video, but let's just say this one might be joining my regular rotation. If you're trying to drink more water without getting bored, a good flavor definitely helps. Have you tried this one yet? #ThriftyWithBrittany #YuHydrate #StrawberryLemonade #MomLifeFavorites #HydrationRoutine #LTKdayinmylife #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife
Making my emotional support beverage. ☀️ Every morning starts with my Yū Hydrate + Collagen. It’s one of those habits that’s easy to stick with, helps me get my water in early, and gives me a few quiet minutes before the day gets going. Simple, consistent, and part of my morning routine every single day. Do you have an “emotional support beverage” too? 👇 #MorningRoutine #MomRoutine #HydrationGoals #CollagenRoutine #ThriftyWithBrittany #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare
I’ve been trying everything for postpartum hair loss… and this is one thing I’ve actually stayed consistent with for over a year. Between postpartum hormones, summer heat, and constantly throwing my hair up, I needed something simple that fit into my real routine. I just mix this into my morning drink and go. I’ve also noticed my nails feel stronger and my skin looks healthier too, which honestly feels like a bonus as a tired mom 😂 Not an overnight miracle — just one of those small habits that’s added up over time for me. 🤍 #postpartumhairloss #postpartumjourney #momlife #hairgrowthjourney #wellnessroutine #LTKmorningroutine #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife

These are the 3 breastfeeding essentials I reach for multiple times a day 🤍 From soreness to pumping comfort, this little lineup has truly saved me during postpartum. The saline spray gives instant relief when things feel tender, the organic pumping spray makes pumping so much more comfortable (no dryness or friction), and the nipple balm keeps everything moisturized and protected between feeds. Nothing fancy—just products that actually work and make those early weeks so much easier. If you’re breastfeeding or pumping, these are 100% worth having on hand 🤍 Linked here for any mama who needs gentle, everyday support. #LTKselfcare #LTKBaby #LTKmomlife

Walking where the clouds live ☁️ Pretty sure Aiden was less concerned about the height than I was. The views were incredible, and somehow he treated the Mile High Swinging Bridge like it was just another sidewalk. #GrandfatherMountain #MileHighSwingingBridge #ToddlerLife #NorthCarolinaAdventures #FamilyTravel #LTKmomlife #LTKvlog #LTKTravel
You can buy all the toys, plan all the activities, and spend all the money… but somehow a creek and a handful of rocks will keep a toddler entertained for hours. 😂💙 Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. These are the kinds of summer memories I hope he never forgets. #ToddlerLife #BoyMom #CreekDays #SimpleMoments #MakingMemoriesWithKids #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKKids

Officially entered our homemade baby food era. 🥔🧡 Yesterday was Philip’s first homemade sweet potato purée, and I’d call it a success! I had so much fun using my baby food maker, and the best part was watching Aiden jump in to help feed his little brother. Now I need ideas… what purée should we make next? 👇 #MomLife #HomemadeBabyFood #BabyFoodMaker #StartingSolids #SiblingLove #LTKfoodie #LTKKids #LTKBaby
One of my favorite milestones so far. 🥹 Today I made Philip’s very first homemade purée—sweet potato! 🍠 I’ve been so excited to use my Momcozy Baby Food Maker because it steams and blends all in one machine, making homemade baby food quick and easy (which is exactly what this busy mom needs!). If you’ve been thinking about making your own baby food, this has made the process so simple. I’ve linked it in my LTK! 🤍#MomLife #BabyEssentials #HomemadeBabyFood #Momcozy #LTKBaby
