The best $5.99 I spent this week! 💁🏻‍♀️✨💀 I love the idea of decorating the kids rooms for Halloween, but I don’t have the time or energy to do all that right now. Nor do I want to spend the money on it! So I snagged this Halloween door decor kit from Michael’s for 40% off, and voila! 👏🏼 A little bit festive, without too much fuss! Wes and I did hers together. It took about 30 min., but we had so much fun. I was surprised she was engaged the entire time. Pro tip - put the sticky dots on the door, then press down, then peel back the little paper and stick the foam pieces down. It’ll save you so much time. Trying to get the stickies on the foam first was a waste. I walked so you could run, lol! LTKKids LTKmomlife LTKSeasonal

While you saw strawberry picking, water parks, and baseball games… I was dealing with insomnia, internal tremors, neuropathy, and a body that felt like it was falling apart. 😕

After 9 months of doctors telling me nothing was wrong, I finally got a diagnosis last week: long COVID.

I’m NOT sharing this for pity. I’m sharing it because I think we need more honesty in motherhood, especially when it comes to the invisible stuff nobody sees.

If you’re a mom who’s been quietly struggling this summer: with your health, your goals, mom guilt, or just feeling like you’re barely keeping your head above water…I see you. ♥️

You’re not alone in this, and you don’t have to pretend everything’s fine. Here’s to being honest about the hard seasons, not just showing the highlight reel. 😘

If your kids love crafts as much as mine do, here are some great Halloween craft ideas for kids at Dollar Tree right now!

I can’t link DT, so I linked some equally great Target options. 🎯

I hope this inspires a fun, creative day with your littles. ♥️

If you need a good overnight oats recipe, this is it!!! 🤤 It tastes just like the instant strawberries and cream oatmeal packets I used to eat all the time when I was a kid. But high protein, and probably a lot healthier, haha. Linking ingredients and these meal prep mason jars!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine #LTKfoodie

Shared this Toy Story Uno game that our kids love on stories, and a bunch of you asked me to link it - so here you are! Also linking some of our other fun family games as well as the card stand holders. These are staples for our family game nights. I hope you make as many memories with them as we have. 🥰

I know a lot of you are getting ready for back-to-school, so I thought I’d share this. 💕

I sent my dietitian pictures of the kids snacks we already buy and asked for her stamp of approval (or better alternatives). She actually approved all of them, and even said she buys the same for her kids (receipts on slide 2, lol)! 👍🏼

Whether you’re looking for healthy lunchbox snacks or just trying to keep your pantry stocked with easy snacks for little kids at home, I hope this gives you a few ideas.

FYI: I actually got most of these at Costco. 🙌🏼

➡️ Save this for your next grocery run! 🛒🏃🏻‍♀️💨

If I had to narrow it down to the Amazon purchases we've actually used this summer, it'd be these. ➡️

Simple things that have made outings easier, kept the kids entertained, or just made everyday life a little less chaotic. 👏🏼 I swear they’ve saved my sanity, haha.

Comment SUMMER and I’ll send you all the details!

And since I didn’t gatekeep, you shouldn’t either. 😉 SHARE with your mom friends!

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

Honestly, I didn’t think this sunscreen applicator was going to work. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But the ad sucked me in, and I figured it was worth a try. I’m pleasantly surprised! 👏🏼

I tested it on myself first, to make sure the product was as actually coming out and applying evenly - can confirm it does.

I feel like this is going to save me some money, since I don’t end up with a bunch of extra product all over my hands. It rubs in a heck of a lot better than I can do on my own, too.

I’ll keep you posted! But if you want to try this mom hack, too, you can shop via the link in my bio! 🔗

PS: I heard if I send you guys the link through an automation, fewer people see my post. 🙃 That’s why I’m routing you to my bio for it. Going to test this theory and see how it goes! 🤞🏼

Got so many questions about this Amazon water table pump I shared on my IG story, so here’s the link! Also linking our Step 2 water table, which has brought us joy since 2022, haha! LMK if you have questions!

This outdoor toy storage bin = less clutter, fewer trips to the garage, and a bonus side table. 🙌🏼

It’s summer salad season, and these Amazon mason jars make amazing meal prep containers!! I made 4 of these berry salads on a Tuesday morning, and on Friday the avocado was still green!! Linking here if you want to prep some quick, easy, and DELICIOUS salads this summer. You can use them for things like overnight oats, too! Click to shop.

Texted Dane and told him I deserve the Mom of the Year Award 🥇 for these Super Mario Easter basket stuffer finds! 🤭

Luca (our 4 year old boy) is in his Super Mario era, so I figured I’d add a couple of themed items to his Easter basket this year. Then I got a little carried away… 🙃

Maybe I’ll save some items for star jar prizes? Either way, I wanted to share for all my moms with Super Mario obsessed kids! I hope this takes a little off your plate! ♥️🌟

PS: Everything shown I found at Target! Not everything is available online, but definitely check in store. There were so many options at my local store!

When I say we were the most popular people in every airport we rolled through this week, I mean it. 💁🏻‍♀️ These ride-on, carry-on suitcases for kids were such a hit we kept getting stopped by strangers who wanted the details. Many even asked to take pics, haha! 😆

I don’t blame them, they were SO helpful - not just for getting through the airport and onto the plane, but for keeping the kids contained at the gate. The definitely beat lugging a stroller through the airport! 👏🏼

Linking here for all my toddler and preschool moms heading out on spring break or a family vacation soon! ♥️

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.

Linking here! ♥️

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. 💕🥤

If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day basket inspiration for your littles, here’s what we did for our 2 year old girl and 4 year old boy! ♥️ The Old Navy pajamas are my absolute favorite. 😍 And they loved the Valentine’s Day crafts, too. Linking everything here!

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. ♥️

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKKids

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. 💋

#LTKmomlife #LTKValentine #LTKKids

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!

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife #LTKTravel

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. 💕

They’re mini paint canvases with little easels, so kids can paint their own Valentine artwork and you can display them. A simple Valentine’s Day activity for kids that doubles as DIY Valentine’s Day decor—low prep, inexpensive, and actually fun!

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). 🥰

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! Linking here along with some is the other pieces I’ve purchased lately.

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKPetite

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. ♥️
