If you’re looking for a low-prep kids activity that actually holds attention, this one is a win. 🥇 We’re easing back into our normal routine after Christmas break, and I intentionally saved this simple toddler activity for this transition day! I knew it would be hard on all of us. We all prefer having daddy home 24/7! 🙃 This took about 5 minutes to set up, didn’t make a huge mess, and kept both kids busy and focused for a full hour (which, if you’re a toddler parent, you know is gold). Especially since it’s a screen-free activity! 🙌🏼 These are the kinds of easy activities for toddlers and preschoolers I keep in rotation — low effort, high payoff, and perfect for days when routines shift or you just need something calm and engaging at home. Linked here if you want to save this idea for your next busy morning or transition day. ♥️ LTKmomlife LTKKids LTKGiftGuide

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!

Clutter is inevitable with little kids. We always have a bunch of things that need to go back upstairs — pajamas, socks, stuffies, shoes, bows, you name it. Instead of making a million trips, we use this stair basket. 🧺

This is one of those organizers I’d buy 100 more times because it gives everything a temporary home until we actually have time to put it away. It solved a small but constant annoyance for us and made our house feel less cluttered. And if you know me, you know how much I despise clutter. 😜

2025 didn’t teach me how to do more — it taught me how to do less, better. ♥️

From simplifying routines and meals, to letting go of perfection, to learning that rest isn’t laziness… this year quietly changed the way I show up as a mom, a parent, and a person. And I’m feeling better than I have in years — mentally, physically, and emotionally. 👏🏼

These are the mindset shifts and life lessons I’m carrying into 2026 as a 39-year-old mom of two navigating toddler and preschool life, mental load, and the everyday rhythms of motherhood.

➡️ If you’re craving calmer, simpler days with your kids and want realistic routines, mom-life reflections, and gentle reminders that you’re doing better than you think, follow along.

➡️ Save this for later if you know you’ll need these reminders.

I posted this puzzle a day book for adults on my story, and everyone is asking for the link - so here it is! I’m looking to spend a heck of a lot less time on the internet in 2026. I’m not disappearing from my platforms, just disconnecting from the stuff that doesn’t serve me. So I bought this book to give me something to do offline.

Don’t get me wrong, the internet has a lot of perks. But I know I can do a better job at using it intentionally. So this year, that’s what I’m going to do! ♥️ LMK if you want to join me, and if you want me to share more on this journey.
