🧲✨ All The Magnetic Tiles

We may or may not have way too many magnetic tiles. 🫣 But, to be fair, they are a favorite toy around here.

I used to stash ours in a giant, messy bin, and let me tell you, finding the right pieces was a battle.

I switched things up and decided to use my favorite acrylic organizers from Target. ✨ I’m now calling these “magic bins” because they’re perfect for literally everything!

I love that I could put all of the car track tiles together in one drawer.

Our new butler’s pantry area. I love how this space turned out! The mix of open shelving and closed cabinets creates a beautiful balance between functionality and style. The warm tones of the wood complement the sleek finishes, making this a perfect spot for both display and storage.

This little toy storage corner has been working so well for all the blocks and tile sets.

I used these clear drawers with adhesive label holders so the kids can easily find what they want—and actually help put things away 🙌 The rainbow stacking arches on top are one of our most-played-with toys too!

This has been our go-to park lunch setup lately and it makes life so much easier.

The bento boxes keep everything neat and easy for little hands to open, and the personalized water bottles mean fewer mix-ups (and less whining 😅). I keep them packed and ready in the fridge when I know we’ve got a park day coming.

This little raised bed garden has brought me so much joy this summer.

It’s small, manageable, and just enough space for a few herbs, tomatoes, and flowers. The arch trellis gives it a little charm, and the setup was way easier than I expected—everything came from Amazon!

Made this little gift basket for my sister’s beach bachelorette party and it turned out so fun!

I added a few cute self-care items, some beach-day must-haves, and packed it all in a monogram pouch she can reuse later. Easy, personal, and perfect for a weekend away with the girls!

This cozy little setup has become one of my favorite corners in the house.

We transitioned Nova to this toddler bed and added a canopy with some twinkle lights to make it feel extra special. It’s soft, sweet, and gives her a little sense of magic at bedtime.

This thing has saved our couch more times than I can count.

From toddler spills to pet messes, the Bissell Little Green is my go-to for quick cleanups that actually work. It’s compact, easy to store, and super satisfying to use—honestly, kind of therapeutic.

This carrier got us through so many outings when Rory was little.

It’s comfy, lightweight, and easy to get on by myself—which was key when I was juggling a toddler and trying to get out the door. I loved that it kept her close without feeling bulky or overheating us in the summer.

These are some of my favorite home design books—they look beautiful stacked together and are full of inspiring ideas.

I love having a few of these styled on a console or coffee table. They’re both decor and something I reach for when I need a creative reset.

These are my favorite pantry containers for staples—hands down.

I’ve had them for years and they still seal perfectly, stack easily, and make the whole pantry feel more functional (and prettier). I use them for everything from baking ingredients to grains to snacks, and I love that they’re clear so I can actually see what we have.

This might be my favorite family gallery wall we’ve ever done.

The frames are super affordable, easy to hang, and come with mats already included. I used black and white prints for a clean, timeless feel—and every time I walk by, I pause and smile. It just feels so us.

This baby gate has been a total win in our new house.

It blends in with the space, and has a wide walkthrough that doesn’t feel awkward or clunky. If you’re in the baby or toddler stage and need something that actually works and doesn’t look terrible—this is it.

These couches from Walmart are viral for a reason!

They’re comfy, roomy, and have held up so well so far—even with kids jumping on them constantly. I kept things neutral and layered in some textured pillows for that cozy, pulled-together look.

This is where we hang out most afternoons when the weather’s nice.

This is our go-to park setup right now and it makes getting out the door with kids so much easier.

I keep the cooler packed, the bento box loaded with snacks, and this waterproof blanket in the car so we’re always ready for a park stop or splash pad break. Also it’s on sale right now for under $15!

Everything folds up quick and wipes down easily - mom win.

Ran to grab these the second I saw them—how cute are these baby Harry Potter sweaters?!

They’re on clearance right now for under $6 each, and I honestly couldn’t believe the quality. Perfect for fall, park days, or just lounging around with your little wizard.

I grabbed both styles and sized up so we can get more wear out of them.

This little thing has saved me so many times.

If you’ve got littles and you’re in that in-between potty training stage, or even if you just have young kids that constantly have to go to the bathroom, having this in the car is a total game-changer. It folds flat, works anywhere, and the liners make cleanup a breeze. 10/10 recommend keeping one in your trunk at all times.

These drink dispensers were a hit at our summer get-together!

I filled one with lemonade and the other with water and ice, and it made serving super easy—plus they looked so cute on the counter. I love the marble bases and how they elevate the look.

✨ These would work great for 4th of July, birthday parties, or any casual hosting moment this summer.

These girls’ dresses are $5 each (!!) and they’re seriously such a win for summer. I stocked up for my older daughter because they’re perfect for everyday play, errands, and even as coverups at the pool.

They’re soft, stretchy, and hold up well in the wash. The colors are so bright and fun, and they’re easy for little ones to throw on themselves, which makes mornings smoother for everyone 🙌

These dresses are so cute for the 4th—and comfy enough for running around at cookouts, parades, or fireworks. I grabbed both for my girls and love that they’re festive without being over-the-top.

They’re lightweight, easy to wear all day, and perfect for anything from backyard parties to late-night sparklers. The star print is fun for the holiday, and the red stripe one could totally work beyond the 4th too.

This woven tray is the easiest way to style any surface - coffee table, nightstand, or even a bathroom counter. I love using it to anchor candles and greenery. The texture works for every season, and it instantly makes any space feel intentional.

This Walmart romper is such an easy summer mom outfit. It’s comfy, has a sporty vibe, and looks way more expensive than it is. I grabbed the heathered cream for everyday errands and the black for something a little more polished. 🙌🏼

Linked both—under $25 and so cute with sneakers or slides!

Bought this little rattan caddy from Walmart on a whim and I’m so glad I did. Right now I’m using it to store paper plates, plastic utensils, and other disposable stuff that used to just float around the kitchen.

It’s not a huge organizing system—but it’s one of those small things that makes our daily mess feel a little more managed. And the fact that it’s cute doesn’t hurt either 🤍
