Thrifty_with_Brittany on LTK

Spring break adventures at Magnolia Plantation and it ended up being one of our favorite days. 🌿 The scenery was beautiful, but what made it so fun was how much there was for Aiden to explore. He ran across bridges, climbed trees, watched animals at the zoo, and got VERY excited every time we spotted another alligator (we counted 9 total 🐊). There’s so much to do here — the gardens, zoo with peacocks and prairie dogs, the historic house, boat tours, walking paths, and plenty of space for kids to just run around and explore. It’s one of those places that’s just as fun for adults as it is for kids. If you’re in Charleston, it’s definitely worth the visit.

Everyone tells you how fast it goes… but no one tells you how many little pauses motherhood teaches you to take. 🤍

Some days the to-do list can wait.
The dishes can wait.
Even the phone can wait.

Because sometimes the most important thing we can do is slow down and hold them close.

Trying to teach my kids how to navigate big feelings… while remembering my own teenage coping strategy was blasting emo music in the car and crying. 😅 Parenting has a funny way of helping you grow right alongside your kids.

Spring colors are everywhere right now… but I’ll always have a soft spot for a good black manicure. 🖤

These matte black press-on nails have the prettiest mix of matte + glossy detail, and the subtle design makes them feel a little edgy while still being wearable with everything. I love that they give that salon-quality look but take just minutes to apply at home (major mom win).

If you’re like me and neutral nails > seasonal trends, these are such a fun set to add into your rotation.

Details:
• short almond shape
• matte + glossy black finish
• lightweight press-ons
• last up to 2 weeks

Perfect if you love minimal black nails, edgy neutral manicures, or easy press-on nails that still look elevated.

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 🤍

Motherhood didn’t make my world smaller.
It just made the little moments matter more.

Just me, a stroller walk, and two boys I’m trying to soak up while they’re still little. 🤍

POV: you turned your real life into content…

and your “content” is literally just
cleaning something
making a drink
pumping
and trying to do skincare before you fall asleep.

If you’re a mom… you get it.

I’m a mom of two who’s not embarrassed to admit that I rarely pay full price for anything anymore.

Between kids growing out of clothes overnight and life getting expensive… thrifting just makes sense.

Some of my favorite outfits and finds have come straight from Goodwill. 🙌

And honestly? Half the time they’re better quality than what’s in stores today.

Being thrifty isn’t about being cheap… it’s about being smart. ♻️

These press-on nails are one of my favorite little “mom life” hacks. 💙 I love having my nails look put together without spending hours at a salon.

This short almond press-on set with soft blue French tips is so pretty for spring and everyday wear. The semi-transparent base keeps them looking natural, while the tiny blueberry accents make them fun and unique.

They’re quick to apply, waterproof, and last up to 2 weeks, which is perfect for busy moms who still want cute nails. I’ve worn press-ons for years and they honestly save me so much time.

If you want an easy at-home manicure that still looks polished, these are such a good set.

#LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Sometimes the best spring break memories are the ones you didn’t plan.

We made an impromptu stop at Sunrise Park (otherwise known as Melton Peter Demetre Park) and it turned into the sweetest afternoon. Aiden danced on the beach, splashed in the water, and ran around like he owned the place.

Thankfully I had a swimsuit in the car for him and a burp cloth to shade Philip’s head — mom bag essentials coming through.

Days like this remind me that kids don’t care about big plans… they just want space to play and explore.

Save this if you’re looking for an easy spot for a little Charleston adventure with your kids. ☀️

If motherhood came with job titles… my résumé would be impressive.

But the hours are wild, the clients are tiny, and the PTO policy is nonexistent 😂

Wouldn’t trade it for the world though.

What title did I miss? 👇

These breastfeeding-friendly tops have been one of my favorite mom finds lately. We’ve been spending spring break outside nonstop, and I love having tops that make nursing easy while still feeling cute and comfortable. Anything that helps me skip packing extra bottles and pumping gear is a win for me.

Spring Break Day 2 took us to Middleton Place and Aiden was living his best life.

He ran all over the grounds, rolled around in the grass, checked out the animals, and was most excited about spotting the alligators 🐊

It was such a sweet day exploring with my mom and the boys. I love finding simple places around Charleston where kids can just run, explore, and be kids.

If you’re a Charleston local or planning a visit, Middleton Place is such a fun spot for little ones.

Turning my tote bag from chaotic → organized in 5 seconds.

This felt organizer:
• keeps the inside of my bag clean
• adds structure so it doesn’t collapse
• turns any tote into a diaper bag

I’ve added these to 5 of my bags over the years and they are one of my favorite organization hacks.

Happy Easter from our crew 🤍✝️

Church this morning, flowers everywhere, and two sweet boys in our arms — it doesn’t get much better than that.

And of course… a little Thrifty with Brittany moment: the boys and I are all wearing thrifted outfits today. I love showing that you can celebrate special days beautifully without spending a fortune.

Hope your Easter was full of joy, family, and maybe a little candy too. ✝️🌷

Summer PJs for little boys that are cute and practical for warm nights. ☀️ These two-piece sets are made with a soft cotton-spandex blend that’s lightweight, breathable, and stretchy — perfect for busy toddlers and little boys who never stop moving.

I love that they have an oversized, relaxed fit so they’re comfy for sleeping but also cute enough to wear for slow mornings, playtime, or lounging around the house. The elastic waistband shorts make them easy for little ones to pull on and off too.

These are such a good option if you’re looking for soft toddler pajamas, summer pajamas for boys, or comfy lounge sets that hold up to lots of washing and wearing.

Perfect for:
• Summer sleepwear
• Toddler boy pajamas
• Daywear play sets
• Lightweight cotton PJs

Spring break with a toddler & a baby means getting outside as much as possible ☀️

We spent our first day of spring break exploring Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site and it was the perfect slow morning with my boys. Walking the trails, seeing the animals, and letting Aiden run around while Philip took it all in from the stroller.

Sometimes the best days are the simple ones like this 🤍

#ad Postpartum bodies take time to heal.

I’m really grateful my body lost the baby weight quickly, but after two babies I’m still working on healing diastasis recti. My stomach isn’t where I want it yet, and that’s okay.

I’ve been doing the therapy to strengthen my core, but in the meantime I’ve been loving pieces like these from Shapermint that help me feel comfortable and confident in my clothes while my body continues to heal.

Motherhood changes your body — and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing 🤍

If you’re looking for a good protein powder for breastfeeding or postpartum, this one has been a favorite. I mix Boobie Protein with Lactaid milk instead of regular milk because it’s easier on my stomach and makes the shake extra creamy. It feels like a sweet treat but helps me get extra protein in during busy mom days.

#LTKBaby #LTKstorytime #LTKfitnessgoals

Some people are waking up at 5am to work out and meal prep.

Meanwhile I’m just over here trying to keep two kids alive and remember where I set my phone down.

Also my husband drinks sweet tea, so the coffee wife era was never an option anyway. 😂

Mom life looks a little different over here.

Starting the day with something good for me 🤍

This has been part of my morning routine for over a year now. I mix my Yu collagen with electrolytes and it’s such an easy way to start the day hydrated before the chaos of mom life begins.

Little habits like this make a big difference.

Pregnancy teaches you a lot of things…
but the most important skill is learning how to pick things up with your feet 😅

Once that belly gets big enough, bending down becomes a strategic decision.

Moms know.
You either leave it on the floor…
or develop Olympic-level toe grip.

If you’ve ever picked something up with your feet, we’re friends now 🤝

If you wake up with neck or shoulder pain, this pillow might be worth trying. I’m a side sleeper and finding a pillow that actually supports your neck without flattening overnight is harder than it should be.

This orthopedic cervical pillow is designed to support the natural curve of your neck and keep your spine aligned while you sleep. It has raised side panels for side sleepers and a contoured center for back sleeping, so your neck stays supported instead of tilting all night.

It also has firm neck rolls for extra support, which can help reduce tension, headaches, and that stiff neck feeling in the morning.

If you’re someone who wakes up feeling like you slept wrong or you’re constantly adjusting your pillow, this design is meant to help keep your head and neck in a better position while you sleep.

Every Charleston mom has heard about Chalmers Street 😂

The day Philip was due, I decided to test the local legend and drove down it… and a few hours later I was in labor.

Coincidence? Maybe.
But Charleston moms swear by it 👀

If you know, you know.

Did anyone else try this when they were pregnant?!

Just a little downtown Charleston walk that turned into a mandatory stop at the pineapple fountain 🍍

If you have a toddler, you already know… they see water and immediately start going toward it.

These little slow moments together are my favorite.

Do your kids head straight to the fountain too? 😂

#ad Trying out diapers from Dyper and I love that they focus on what actually touches baby’s skin.

These diapers are made with a 100% plastic-free liner, plant-based materials, and are dermatologist approved — which is something I always look for with sensitive baby skin.

Every change also helps reduce plastic waste compared to traditional diapers, which is pretty cool.

I’ve linked them in my LTK shop if you want to check them out.

This stroller is one of my favorite mom finds. It’s lightweight so I can set it up myself, and the bench seat is perfect for when Aiden’s little legs get tired mid-walk. It makes getting outside so much easier.

If your glove box is a mess of papers, you need this.

This car registration & insurance organizer keeps all your important vehicle documents neatly in one place. It has multiple slots for registration, insurance cards, licenses, and more.

One of my favorite car organization essentials — and it makes finding your documents so much easier.

One habit I actually stuck with for an entire year.

I add collagen to my water every day and it’s one of the simplest routines to keep up with. Quick, easy, and something I actually enjoy drinking.

Do you take collagen in the morning, afternoon, or evening?

If you want to try the one I use, it’s from Yū Nutrition.
