I love having something to celebrate, big or small. It gives us things to enjoy, look forward to, and appreciate in the middle of everyday life. ✨ So yes — we do celebrate “Hallmark holidays” like Valentine’s Day over here. Why not? We just keep it simple and practical… at least to us. ♥️ These Valentine’s Day baskets for our 2 and 4-year-old aren’t about going all out. Just a few thoughtful, useful things to surprise and delight on an ordinary January day (we gave them these today). 🥰 I’ve linked these simple Valentine’s basket ideas for toddlers and preschoolers in my LTK for those who want them!

My favorite clogs FINALLY restocked, so I snagged them in a second color. 👏🏼

You guys, these are SO good! My favorite Quince purchase to date.

I bought grey last year, and I wear them constantly throughout the year! They’re comfortable and so well made - the sole is sturdy and the fur on my first pair is still intact despite countless wears (although not as fluffy of course). They’re great to wear as slippers, but I’ve worn mine as shoes. They pair well with lounge sets and casual jeans outfits.

For under $60, you can’t beat them. They’re made of suede leather upper and 100% Australian shearling. They’re come in 3 colors and are true to size.

Ten minutes of self care for mom on a Monday afternoon - gotta love nap time! 🥰

Currently have these Aquaphor booties on to moisturize my dry feet. My nail tech recommended them a few years ago, and WOW am I glad she did. They keep my feet soft and hydrated between pedicures. Such a solid bang for just a few bucks. 👏🏼

I’m going to do the gloves while watching Bridgerton later. I’m on round 2 of this new season. 🤭

Linking both here for those who want to add to their beauty routine.

January was long. Cleveland made it longer. 🥶 But I think it’s safe to say we made the best of it! And we made lots of memories, too. 🥰

If you want a fun and simple Valentine’s Day treat for your kids, try this! It’s my simple strawberry banana smoothie recipe (which my 2 year old girl and 4 year old boy love!!) with a Valentine’s Day twist. Linking everything I used here as well as some of the Valentine’s Day gifts we have our kids this year. 💕🥤

We finally found a shoe solution for our mudroom that actually works 👏🏼

This wall-mounted shoe cabinet keeps shoes completely hidden (which instantly makes the space feel calmer), and I love that it’s off the floor so cleaning underneath is easy. No more vacuuming around piles of shoes 🙌🏼

It holds about 10 pairs of adult shoes, and even more in the summer when everyone’s in sandals. It’s super sturdy, and the dark color helps hide dirt, which is a must in a high-traffic entryway.

If you’re tired of shoes everywhere and want your mudroom to feel more organized without adding visual clutter, this has been such a good find for us.

Linking here! Drop questions if you have them. ♥️

This cute and casual mom outfit featuring an Amazon bomber jacket is perfect for everything from a relaxed date night outfit to weekend errands. It really elevates basics like jeans and a long sleeve tee and makes outfit planning so easy.

Also, these Abercrombie skinny jeans are AWESOME! I’m in the curve love fit, and they come in petite. I love that they have inclusive sizing. 🙌🏼 The fit is absolutely perfect on my curvy, 5’1 frame.

Save this for styling inspo and shop the full look to build more effortless mom outfits! ✨

Doing my daughter’s hair used to mean searching drawers, baskets… basically the whole house 😅 This has been one of my favorite hair tool storage ideas because everything she needs lives in one spot. Brushes, tools, and accessories are all contained, and I can pull it out of our cabinet and set it right next to me while I do her hair. It’s made hair tools organization so much easier in our small bathroom.

My love language as a mom is making little moments feel extra special. 💕✨

This easy strawberry banana smoothie is my kids’ absolute favorite, so lately I’ve been turning it into a kid-approved Valentine’s Day treat to make it feel even more exciting.

All I do is…

Blend:
🍌 1 banana
🍓 1.5 cups frozen strawberries
🥥 1.5 cups coconut water

(Makes about 20 oz.)

Then add:
✨ Whipped cream
✨ Edible glitter (red + pink, obviously)
✨ Valentine’s Day sprinkles

If you’re looking for a simple Valentine’s snack for kids, this one’s a win. 🙌🏼

➡️ Save this for an easy way to make an ordinary day feel a little extra special. 💋

Spoiler alert: this viral Amazon bomber jacket is worth every penny! It’s so affordable, chic, and well made. And it comes in a TON of colors. If you have a closet full of great basics like me, this piece can easily elevate them. So cute and effortless!! I’m in a small.

ALSO - these new straight leg jeans from Abercrombie are amazing! I love the wash, and while they don’t have a ton of stretch they’re still comfortable. I’m in the curve love fit, size 27 short.

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKPetite

Seriously, I’ve been so impressed with Old Navy lately!! I’ve been finding so many great, affordable basics - tees, sweaters, and even petite bottoms! 🙌🏼 And everything has washed well, too.

The green sweatshirt and grey flared leggings pictured here are my latest finds, so I had to share. They’re so cozy and true to size.

I’m 5’1 and around 130lbs. I’m wearing a small on top and small petite in bottom.

Lmk if you have questions!! ♥️

#LTKmomlife #LTKPetite #LTKootd

Linking the Mario stickers I shared on stories for those who are asking. We love stickers like this for at home activities, but we also keep them in our restaurant backpack and bring them when we travel. They’re such great entertainment on the go!

So many questions about this Amazon women’s bomber jacket, so linking here for you all! It comes in so many pretty colors, and it’s so affordable! I’m wearing a size small, which is my true size.

Also linking my Abercrombie skinny jeans. They are SO comfy, and I love the wash. I’m in a 27 short curve love fit. I’m between a 26 and 27 right now, and while both fit I always size up if something fits too perfect. That was the case for these.

LMK if you have any questions! ♥️

#LTKmomlife #LTKootd #LTKPetite

10/10 recommend dumping a bunch of animal toys in the sink and letting them do their thing. Zero effort. Maximum entertainment. 👏🏼 The perfect activity for toddlers and preschoolers!

➡️ FYI: These are all Toobs animals, so I’m linking a bunch here. We have over 100, easily. 😅 Loveee them for car rides and restaurants!

➡️ Save this for the next “I just need 20 minutes” moment.

Found these adorable Valentine’s Day crafts for kids for just $3.50 at Michaels, and they were such a hit with my toddlers and preschooler I had to share. 💕

You guys, Old Navy is crushing it right now! So many great basics that are nice quality and AFFORDABLE! I found these stretchy lounge pants for $23 (the are $27 today, but still a good deal), and they come in petite! 🙌🏼 I also bought the grey! Back in the day we called these yoga pants, but I think they call them flared leggings now. 😆 Either way, they’re so cute and a great option for making a cozy mom outfit look cute and put together!

Here’s a girl mom hack I didn’t know I needed! 💕

We do our daughter’s hair on our main floor, and storage in that bathroom is limited. This holds all of her brushes, combs, and hair ties without taking up much space. 👏🏼

What I love most is that I can just pull the whole thing out of the cabinet and set it next to me while I’m doing her hair, so everything I need is right there within reach. No stopping, no searching, no digging for a missing hair tie mid-brush. IYKYK! 🙃

It’s nothing fancy — just a simple setup that makes getting ready feel easier.

#LTKKids #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife

Apparently this is what a good time sounds like! 😅 Makes me sweat, honestly. 🤣 But hey — core memories, I’m sure.

Linking my comfy mom outfit here. This outfit feels like sweats, but looks like hard pants — lol! Highly recommend. ♥️

A good waterproof coat is a must for real life, school drop-off, rainy errands, travel days, and everything in between. These are the styles I actually wear because they’re functional, flattering, and easy to layer while still keeping you dry. Neutral colors, great coverage, and perfect for unpredictable weather days.

These Valentine’s Day plates and cups for kids from Target are such an easy way to make everyday meals feel special. I love having a festive kids dinnerware set for each holiday — it’s low effort, practical, and something my mom always did for us growing up.

Simple traditions, sweet memories. ✨

I love and use these products to revive my dry, chapped skin during the harsh winter months here in Cleveland! The best part is the are all "drug store products", meaning they can be found at stores like Target. Affordable and effective!

#LTKselfcare #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty

We booked our first trip of 2026 ✈️ and decided we’re not lugging a stroller through the airport. So we snagged these ride-on kids carry on suitcases from Amazon instead.

They roll smoothly — I even tested them going from hardwood floors to low-pile carpet — and feel really sturdy so far. Our toddler and preschooler think they’re so fun to ride, and we appreciate that we won’t have to lug and gate check a stroller.

A great toddler travel suitcase and smart stroller alternative for family travel.

Linking the exact kids carry on luggage we bought. Will report back after our trip!

#LTKTravel #LTKKids #LTKmomlife

These Valentine’s Day pajamas are the sweetest. Soft, comfy, and perfect for cozy nights, Valentine’s morning photos, or just everyday wear in February. Love how cute they are without sacrificing comfort, easy wins for toddlers and parents. Great for siblings or matching moments too.
