cute how I used to wear florals for style and now I wear them to hide everything my kids wipe on me 😅🫠 jokes aside, I love finding dresses that make me feel put together with minimal effort 🙌🏻 .. because I already know I’m going to be running, looking for bugs, used as a chair, and probably have formula spilled on me by the end of the night 🙃..

but we love it 🫶🏻

#gifted Not sure how I brushed my hair for the last 7 months without this Aussie detangler. The tangled mess that is my hair these days becomes so much more manageable after I spray this! Bonus: it’s a heat protectant too 👏🏻

#ad ready for warm days spent in the backyard ☀️ .. but first we have some major clean up to do! between the heat and rain, the weeds have been growing like crazy 😱 and well admittedly we haven’t done much about it 😅 that all changes today! We grabbed @justspruceit from our local Target and got to work! After just one hour we could already see visible results 👏🏻 The Power Wand makes it easy to just point and spray tackling areas big and small! We have a few more spots to do in the yard and then we’ll be ready to play all summer long 🤗

Active play + cooking.. it will blow your mind 😉 #ad after a fun day learning new skills and techniques, we got to play alongside Cheffy in the Nex Playground game Tiny Chef: Cooking with Fwends! 👩🏻‍🍳 We used our arms to slice and dice and our bodies to catch falling ingredients. We made guacamole and worked towards unlocking even more plant based recipes! 🥑 Cooking has always been one of my favorite ways to make memories together and now we can combine it with our love of play and movement to truly make some new magical family memories. 🥰🫶🏻

it’s a happy haul unboxing! 🩵🥰 we were given a @findyourhappyhaul first look at @toy_fair last month and I couldn’t believe how many cutie mystery blind boxes they unveiled! They were kind enough to give us a bag to take home for our own little happy haul. We received a Disney Stitch Snow Cone Swirl, Harry Potter Cliff Hangers, and Winnie The Pooh Hunny Crew 🍯 which is your favorite? I can’t get enough of Scrump and now I’m on a mission to check out some of the other varieties — especially the Disney Fresh Picked and Disney Scents of Style 👏🏻 🙌🏻

we’ve got ears, say cheers 🐭 our old office used to display our Disney collection favs- popcorn buckets, specialty sippers, Loungefly bags, and yes… ears 🫶🏻 but ever since we changed Hunter’s room to the nursery and our office to Hunter’s room, I’ve been struggling to find a place for everything 🥲 this wall used to be the other half of our closet (which is sadly now much smaller 🫠 ) but we had to close it up to give Hunter a closet soooooo hello blank space! I think I finally found its purpose.. ears!

I tested it the design with putty first and now I’m officially ready to make it permanent .. maybe 🙈 What do we think?! Should I rearrange?

I’m also back and forth on adding shelves for other pieces or hanging my Loungefly bags on the left… help me decide!! 🙏🏻

This Mickey shaped character guessing game was one of my favorites and is giving Disney park touchpoint vibes 🫶🏻 makes me want to book a trip right now! Plus it would look so cute on display next to my Disney popcorn buckets and specialty sippers 🥰

I rounded up some other magical finds too including games, baby toys, collectibles, blind bags, and even a Lite-Brite for a little sneak peak into what’s on the way. Which would your little (or you ☺️) reach for first?

WAHOO! … it’s YOSHI time 😱🥚✨ Yoshi has always been my favorite and seeing a Yoshi Egg hatch (!!!!) at Toy Fair and a moving, responding, interacting Yoshi emerge- my jaw is still on the floor. My face hasn’t stopped smiling. I’m screaming. This is WILD.

If you’re like me and always looking to bring the magic home .. this is THE toy 🙌🏻 and with the movie just a few short weeks away you’re going to want to preorder or set up reminders now! This will sell out. Again and again.

Pro tip: Have Yoshi waiting at home after the movie for a truly special moment 🫶🏻💚

Comment YOSHI and I’ll DM you the link 💌

a mustachioed human has arrived… for babies! 🍄🌟 #hosted Willa was invited to her very first event - a sneak peek of the new My Mario line! ❤️💙 How fitting that it would be Nintendo 🫶🏻

So what did we think?! 💭 ..you’re gonna wanna save this 😜

✨ Hello, Mario! was a fam fav: a fun, interactive board book with surprises on every page .. and both covers 📖
✨ the block set was a hit: wooden versions of 4 classic characters (yes Yoshi is one of them!) that also double as Amiibos 😱 plus other icons from the Mushroom Kingdom 🏰
✨ We tested out a few rattles: I thought Willa’s favorite was going to be the super star 🌟 but I think she liked the mushroom and the feel of the Mario lovey more 🥰
✨ Hunter gave his expert stamp of approval to the Little People playsets: jump, slide, bounce, spin - so much to do with classic sounds from the game 🎮
✨ the bath toys were probably my favorite 🛁 connect the pipes, pour with the super star, watch for pop up friends, and of course .. a few water squirters too! 🔥
✨ ..and there’s even more 🤩 pajamas, onesies, outfit sets, blankets, and a Mario plush!

My Mario is designed for ages 0-5 and is launching exclusively at Nintendo NY and Nintendo SF next week 🎉 Also launching February 19th: the Hello, Mario app where littles can interact with Mario and friends 🤗

Can’t wait until next week? Check out the new stop motion series It’s Me, Mario 👋🏻 available now on the Play Nintendo YouTube channel ▶️

Bow big.. and going back home 😅🎀 kicked off Monday with a little self care: showered, put on a cute outfit and my favorite red lipstick 💄 , grabbed some coffee ..then headed right back home! 🙃 single digit weather and busy mornings have me living in leggings, sweatshirts, and comfy slip-ons!

these days, finding time for both showering and getting ready feels like a win .. but the chaos is worth it. I’m fully embracing my new life as a mom of two and soaking in all the different moments before they turn to memories 🥰

Once upon a shelf… ✨📚 calling this our imagination station 💭 I love that there’s space for Hunter and Willa’s collection of books to keep growing and that the drawers make it easy to just roll baby girl’s toys wherever we need them! 📖🧸 I had planned to put it downstairs but now I’m loving the easy access right in the middle of our upstairs chaos 🙃🥰

I can’t wait to surprise them with seasonal books and little notes on the whiteboard .. maybe even a Disney countdown in the not so distant future 🐭🏰 it already feels like its own little bit of magic ✨

Greetings, neighbor 🌱🥳 one of my favorite things to when planning a party is think up unique favors! Hunter’s Plants vs Zombies 2 birthday party was a tough one but I think they came out pretty good!

I usually include something personalized but this year decided to do two crafts that the kids could personalize themselves and then take home. We went with a build-your-own game board and a trip to the Zen Garden to paint your own sunflower pot - sunflower seeds included! 🪴 After they finished their pots, I filled them with a sticky, squishy peashooter pea and the sunflower seeds to grab at the end of the party. They also got to choose one building bricks zombie 🧟‍♂️ even the little littles took something home.. their very own peapod teether! 🫛

Hunter had so much fun celebrating and we can’t send enough thanks to everybody who braved the storm to help us defend the birthday lawn! 🌻☀️

braaaaiiiiiinnnnssssss 🧠 there wuz a party and there wuz zombies 🧟‍♂️ and we had the best time! Still can’t believe my baby boy turned 6 last week 🎉

I somehow managed to pull this party together in less than 3 weeks .. Hunter kept going back and forth on the theme and with the end of my pregnancy, welcoming Willa, all of the holidays… it was a crazy time! But I did it! I grabbed my cricut and art supplies and I got to work ✂️🎨

We decided to have just a few themed activities:
✨ Crazy Dave Says: our twist on Simon Says with themed prompts like walk like a zombie and stand tall like a sunflower
✨ Paint Your Own Sunflower Pot: our friends at @sharpie sent us the best creative markers to help make this craft come to life. They go on smooth and vibrant with paint-like ink and dry quickly saving me tons of mess and clean up. Plus these doubled as favors 🙌🏻
✨ Build Your Own Level: I printed out blank game boards and tonnnnsss of plant, zombie, sun, plant food, progress bar, lawn mower, etc etc stickers so the kids could create a level straight from PvZ 2!

💚 🌱 The decor was different shades of green like Crazy Dave’s lawn, giant plant and zombie cut outs, plant and zombie centerpieces, and of course we needed green checkered team plant and orange cone team zombie party hats 🥳

🌮 For food we went with the obvious… Crazy Dave’s tacos! I FINALLY got to use my @crockpot multi-meal to cook the beef and chicken at the same time but separate from each other and giving them a place to stay warm for the party! 👏🏻

🌻 The party came and went so fast but Hunter was happy which means mama was happy!

What was your favorite detail? 🧟‍♂️🪴
