I love this teen boy gift idea! A whittling kit - it’s screen-free, creative, and could spark a new hobby. Don’t forget to include a block of wood with this one! #LTKGiftGuide
A milk frother is the perfect favorite-things gift. Useful, fun, and always a hit! Add a single serving protein, electrolyte, or greens packet if your budget allows to make it even more special. #LTKGiftGuide
My husband received this as a gift and it’s still one of his favorites! Practical, useful, and affordable - the perfect gift for men in your life! #LTKGiftGuide

Someone on Instagram asked recently for a list of favorite spring puzzles and... they didn’t have to ask me twice! I love a good puzzle and they’re so fun to take along on spring break or work on at home (and they make great Easter basket gifts!). Here are some of my favorite spring puzzles! #LTKFamily
A few years ago, I realized I needed some hobbies that recharged me (rather than hobbies that tend to be draining like doomscrolling or binge watching a show). I started doing more puzzles and now, after long and stressful days I love to unwind with a favorite puzzle and an audiobook. Here are a few favorites, plus my puzzle board and the excellent book on this topic, The Power of Fun. #LTKFamily
One of the things I love about puzzles is that I can look at a puzzle box and instantly remember what I listened to while I worked on it. That combination of doing something tactile with a strong visual component AND listening really makes an impact on my brain! Here are the puzzles I most enjoyed doing in 2024! #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

These tiny travel sound machines have been a follower favorite for five straight months! Perfect for travel, great battery life, and weigh almost nothing. #LTKFamily

My kids spent SO MUCH TIME doing these folding puzzles on our Australia trip!
Travel
One of my team members (hi, Kristin!) told me about these coloring books and I’ve never ordered something so fast! And I was delighted by how into them my girls have been! My kids pretty much ALWAYS do something with their hands while I read aloud but this has streamlined it significantly where they don’t have to figure out an activity every night! #LTKFamily #LTKKids
I bought these for my 4 kids for Easter!
A favorite travel game for all ages!

Kids Reading
I get requests for books to read aloud in a classroom almost every single day!  As a former school librarian, I have read aloud hundreds of books to classes of all ages and these are some of my tried-and-true book titles! #LTKKids
I did a reel like this a few weeks ago and it was so popular that I’m making it a series!
This was a better reading month than January (and a shorter month too!) 12 books still puts me behind but I’m slowly catching up!

I originally bought this dress for our family photos in the fall - and I keep coming back to it! 😍 It would be great for a Valentine’s Day outfit too!
A winter outfit I’ll gladly wear on repeat! These sweater pants feel like I am wearing pajamas, but they look so much more put together. #LTKSeasonal
This outfit screams fall in all the best ways! 🍂
