🎃 Walmart find for Halloween! I grabbed these adorable mini buckets and they’re seriously the PERFECT size! 🥹🧡💜🖤

I’m planning to personalize each one and fill them with fun little Halloween goodies for my kids’ classmates! 🍬👻🕷️ Think candy, stickers, mini toys, glow sticks… all the little things!

They come with a lid AND handle, so they’re basically a tiny Halloween pail. 😍 And I love the orange, purple + black colors!

Now to personalize a small army of buckets… because apparently I enjoy giving myself projects. 🤣🎃✂️👇🏼

🎒✏️ Back-to-school survival mode activated! I made a bunch of these teacher & staff kits to help kick off the year right 💪🏼🍎

Filled them with all the little essentials—snacks 🍫, mints 🍬, tissues 😭, pain reliever 💊, lip balm 💋, hand sanitizer 🧼, hydration 💧 & more!

Because starting the year with a little extra love (and caffeine 😅) goes a long way!

Our first class of the year starts next week! 🫣⛰️

Somehow I’m heading into another year teaching the same group of kids I started with back in 2nd grade… and now they’re FIFTH GRADERS. How did that even happen?! 🥹 It has truly been such a joy getting to watch them grow over the years—not just in their faith, but into the little humans they’re becoming. ❤️

I’ve been working on these little favors for our first class, and once I get my official class list this week, I’m going to personalize them a bit and make each one more them. ☺️

My hope is that long after this school year is over, this little keychain will be a friendly reminder to never lose faith. Even when it feels small—as small as a mustard seed—hold onto it.

Because with a little faith, you can move mountains. ⛰️🙏🏼

Matthew 17:20 ❤️

And yes… those are actual mustard seeds in the tiny bottles. 🥹 I couldn’t resist.

🤣🏀 My daughter: “I know what I want to get her! A personalized basketball…and make it blue because that’s her favorite color.”

Me: “Oh cute!”

Her: “No, like…make it.”
And apparently she already had a VERY specific font picked out too. 🫠😂

Ma’am…who exactly do you think your mother is?! 🤣

Butttt challenge accepted. 💁🏻‍♀️ I grabbed the supplies, crossed my fingers and gave it a shot — and here was my attempt at bringing her very specific vision to life! 💙🏀

Honestly, such a fun DIY and I love that she wanted to make her friend’s birthday gift a little more personal. 🥹 I linked all the products I used in case you want to try one too!

This limited-edition flavor is going FAST! 🎃☕️ It was even hard for me to snag, and now that I’ve tried it, I totally get the hype. 🤩

I’ve been making my afternoon coffee with Javy + their Pumpkin Pie Protein Creamer and it seriously tastes like a creamy pumpkin spice latte. SO good. 🙌🏼 And there’s zero weird powdery/protein aftertaste, which is a huge win for me!

🎃 Limited-edition Pumpkin Pie flavor
💪🏼 14g of protein per serving
☕️ 20 servings per bag
🤤 Super creamy + actually tastes GOOD

If you’re a pumpkin spice person, I would not wait on this one — it keeps selling out! 🏃🏼‍♀️🍂

Still not sure how we’re already celebrating 10, but here we are! 🥳🩵 DOUBLE DIGITS!

We had the BEST sunny day celebrating with some of Aubrey’s closest friends, and I loved watching them just hang out and have fun together. ☀️💦

Pool time, personalized buckets with blue lemonade + Swedish Fish, walking tacos 🌮, pizza, jars filled with her favorite chocolates to guess, a DIY bag charm station, picture frame decorating, temporary tattoos… and homemade beach cupcakes that tasted suspiciously like Eucharists. 😆🙏🏼 AMEN! The girls who knew, knew — and the others got a little CCD lesson with dessert. 😂

Such a fun day celebrating our almost 10-year-old! 🥹🩵 Now apparently we’re entering the preteen era… which feels WILD. 😂🥳

I tagged as much of the party stuff as I could so you can find everything we used! 🫶🏼✨

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKKids

Just me living my best millennial life right now. 😆🙋🏼‍♀️

Tell me WHY Herbal Essences scents immediately transport me back to my childhood?! 😂 I swear, they’re one of those scents I’d choose over and over again.

I found this Rose Hips Hair Mist and I’ve been reaching for it nonstop! It has notes of rose, lily + apple and gives your hair that fresh, just-washed smell without actually having to wash it. 🙌🏼 And apparently it works because even my son keeps saying, “Mom, you smell SO good!” 🥹🥰

The millennial in me is VERY happy right now. 😂🌹

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm

these Lacoste towels are NICE. 😍 I wasn’t expecting them to be this soft and plush, but I’m impressed! The bath towels are also a really decent size — I can actually wrap one around me comfortably 🙌🏼

The 6-piece set comes with 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels + 2 washcloths, all made from 100% Supima cotton. They’re super soft, absorbent and I love the classic Lacoste stripe + little embroidered croc. 🐊

Such an easy way to give the bathroom a little refresh without doing… literally anything else. 😂🙆🏼‍♀️

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Traveling with kids = snacks. SO many snacks. 😂✈️ And these GoBe goodies have been such a hit for keeping everything organized and easy for the kids to grab themselves!

We love the GoBe Snack Spinners because I can pack 5 different snacks in one container, and the kids just spin, pick & snack! 🙌🏼 Perfect for road trips, flights, beach days, sports, stroller walks… basically anytime we’re out and about.

And can we talk about the backpack + lunch bag combo?! 😍 The lunch bag fits right into the front pocket of the backpack, so snacks are easy to grab without digging through everything. The backpack itself is lightweight, has adjustable padded straps, plenty of room for tablets, blankets + travel essentials, AND the front can be customized with interchangeable patches! 👏🏼

Even better — the backpack is MACHINE WASHABLE. 🙌🏼 Because… kids. 😂

And I have a code for you! 🎉
Save 20% off your order with code TRAVEL20!
Limit one use per customer • Expires 12/31/26

Such a cute little setup for your tiny travelers! 💙✈️

Hair wash day, but make it feel like I just left the salon. 🙆🏼‍♀️✨ I’ve been trying out the L’ange Axia HaloRing Hair Dryer and I am LOVING how smooth and shiny my hair looks!

It’s super lightweight, dries my hair FAST, has customizable heat + speed settings, and it even remembers my last settings for next time. 👏🏼 And that magnetic wall mount?! Such a good little bonus for keeping my bathroom counter clutter-free. 😂

But really… that shine at the end speaks for itself. 😍✨

There’s just something about starting a new school year with a little surprise for the people who are about to spend SO much time with our kiddos. 🥹🍎❤️

I’ve been collecting goodies here and there for months, and seeing everything finally come together makes me so excited for them! Some practical, some fun, and a few things that are just for THEM. 🙌🏼

Now I’m impatiently waiting for teacher assignments to come out so I can personalize the last few pieces and officially call these DONE! 😆✏️

Who else gets just as excited putting together teacher gifts as they do shopping for their own kids’ school supplies?! 😂🙋🏼‍♀️

#TeacherAppreciation #TeacherGifts #BackToSchool #TeacherLife #BackToSchool2026

POV: You’re trying to help your kids’ teachers survive the school year 😂🍎✏️

We officially have TWO WEEKS to go until back to school, so I put together these little Teacher Survival Bags filled with all the essentials they might need throughout the year! 🥰

Snacks, hand sanitizer, little pick-me-ups, emergency goodies… basically a little bit of EVERYTHING for those “how is it only Tuesday?!” kind of days. 😂🙌🏼

Such a fun + practical way to start the year and show our teachers a little extra love! ❤️

😂 These are going to be the gift of the year for teachers!

I grabbed these mystery resin bags for our teacher reward bins this year and I already have a feeling they’re going to be ALL the rave. 😂 Mystery resin bags?! Say less. My kids LOVE these!

I just know my CCD students are going to be excited to earn new ones each week, so naturally I grabbed more sets for our public school teachers to bribe—I mean reward 😏—our kids when they need a little extra motivation! 😂🙌

Seriously SUCH a fun little classroom reward! 🎁✨

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

These are two back-to-school items I reach for year after year! 🙌✏️

🏷️ My little @liene sticker printer makes labeling lunch boxes, water bottles, folders, and just about everything else so quick and easy.

🖍️ And these Dollar Store snack containers? Total game changer! I use them to store crayons instead of tossing them into a pencil box. They help keep crayons from getting crushed, broken, or making a huge mess inside backpacks. My kids have used this trick for the last few years, and it has worked so well!

Just a couple of simple hacks that have made back-to-school a little easier for us. ❤️📚

☀️ And just like that… my room mom era for the 2025-2026 school year is officially coming to an end. ❤️

Classmate gifts ✔️
Teacher gifts ✔️
Aide & staff gifts ✔️
Countless Amazon orders ✔️😆

This year I had the privilege of being room mom for both of my kids, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful. From classroom parties and themed days to the little moments in between, I got a front-row seat to watch these kids learn, grow, and become amazing little humans.

I’ll miss this season more than I can put into words. It was the last year where both of my babies still felt little, and getting to be a part of their school days is something I’ll always treasure.

But for now, I’m trading sign-up sheets, gift bags, and last-minute emails for sunshine, pool days, and maybe a slightly less aggressive Amazon cart. 😂☀️

Here’s to an incredible school year and a summer full of memories. ❤️

Wrapping up Day 5 of Teacher Appreciation Week 🤍✏️

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, this is your gentle reminder to pencil in a little time for you this weekend — even if it’s just an hour. You deserve it 💛

May is filled with sports, concerts, recitals, field trips, birthdays, and all the end-of-school chaos, so we finished the week with self-care bags filled with goodies, sweet treats, jewelry, and a few relaxing favorites for our teachers.

A huge thank you to all the parents who helped contribute and make this week so special. Hope our teachers felt all the love 💕

#LTKMothersDay #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife

Day 4 of Teacher Appreciation Week and today may have been my favorite yet! 🥹🌈✏️

We surprised our teachers with “extra supplies for an EXTRA amazing teacher” bins filled with all the fun classroom essentials — rainbow Expo markers, pencils, glue sticks, rewards, sticky notes, last day of school tees, and Target gift cards! ❤️

But honestly, the most special part was the personalized thank you cards signed by every student in the class. Seeing all those little messages of love and appreciation just melts me. These teachers pour so much into our kids every single day, and it feels so good to spoil them a little in return. 🥰

Huge shoutout to our specials teachers too for helping us pull this off without anyone finding out! The surprise made it even more fun! 🎉

Day #3 of Teacher Appreciation Week and we’re reminding our teachers just how cool they are 🍒✨ These cherry-print coolers were packed with little things to fuel their day — gift cards to their favorite lunch spots, OLIPOP drinks, wipes, sweet + salty snacks, and apple containers filled with mints!

Such a fun way to spoil the people who do so much for our kids every single day. We truly couldn’t do it without them ❤️

#LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie #LTKTravel

Day ✌🏼 of Teacher Appreciation Week and we’re keeping them hydrated in style 💖

SIP SIP HOORAY… we appreciate you every day! 🥤✨

We put together personalized Stanleys in their favorite colors, paired with hydration goodies (Liquid IV, Celsius, Dunkin refreshers) and gift cards to their go-to spots ☕️💚

Because let’s be honest… teachers run on caffeine, patience, and a whole lot of love — the least we can do is keep their cups full 💕

#LTKTravel #LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife

At this point, I’m not even calling this a snack… it’s a lifestyle 😆
Yogurt, bananas, and a big handful of this granola + drizzle of honey 🍯 = my go-to every single day lately. And yes, I hide the chocolate one from the kids 🙈

#LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie #LTKmorningroutine

There’s just something about these that instantly quiets my brain 😌

I’ve been such a fan of Lifelines for a while now, and these new FlowArt tracing books might be my favorite yet. It’s like coloring meets mindfulness… but even easier to get into that calm, focused “zone.”

With Teacher Appreciation Week coming up, I knew right away what I was getting our teachers 💛 They truly deserve something that helps them unwind too.

If you’re someone who always needs to keep your hands busy (hi, same 🙋🏼‍♀️) or you struggle to actually relax at the end of the day… these are SO worth trying.

✨ You just trace line by line and watch the whole picture come to life
✨ It’s super calming and honestly kind of addictive
✨ Perfect for winding down at night or even quick breaks during the day

And right now you can grab them for 15% off with our code at checkout 🙌🏼

Such a good gift idea… or keep one for yourself (no judgment here 😏) code is valid on the 3 options below! 👇🏼

Not only am I a dance mom… I’m also a baseball mom and coach’s wife 😆⚾️ couldn’t forget about these boys!

We’ve got just a few short weeks left, so I put together a little end-of-season surprise to show them how proud we are. It definitely wasn’t the easiest season — there were some bumps (and a few tears) — but they stuck with it, worked hard, and grew so much.

So proud of this group and everything they accomplished 🫶🏼 we’re really going to miss them!

Filled the bags with a baseball water squirter, fidget spinner, snacks, electrolytes, Big League Chew, and a team photo for the fridge 🥹

Have the best summer, boys… until next season ✌🏼⚾️

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids

I said yes to being dance room mom… and now I’m responsible for 15 girls 😅

So instead of panicking—I made everyone their own recital survival bag 💖

Each one is personalized so I can actually learn their names (because let’s be real 😂)
• filled with everything we’ll need backstage:
costume tape, bun makers (no mom is losing it over hair this year 🙌🏼), wipes, little goodies & more ✨

Honestly… best idea I’ve had yet 🥹

Let’s get these girls stage-ready!! 🩰🎀

How cute are these?! 🥤💄

This smoothie-inspired lip gloss set is PERFECT for splitting into party favors or letting your favorite girl keep all 6 (no judgment 😆). Sweet scents, glossy shine, and super soft lips in every swipe—yes please!

Strawberry, orange, pineapple, watermelon, blueberry & grape = basically a whole vibe 🍓🍊🍍🍉🫐🍇

#LTKKids #LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert

Obsessed is an understatement 😂

Your favorite brands really said “let’s collab”… and made wipes?! 🍑✨ I mean tell me this isn’t the most fun upgrade to your bathroom routine.

The Olipop x goodwipes Peaches & Cream wipes are giving CLEAN, SOFT, and just a little extra (in the best way). Because honestly… would you wash your hands without water? Exactly.

Also fully planning to gift these for Teacher Appreciation Week because if anyone deserves an upgrade, it’s teachers 🙌🏼

Soft, soothing, actually flushable, and low-key life-changing… your booty will thank you 🤭🧻💁🏼‍♀️

#LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife #LTKTravel

Spent the day living my best class mom life and I don’t think I’ll ever recover from the cuteness 🐥💛

We packed in ALL the spring fun — DIY bunny topiaries, chick adoptions (with their own little homes 🥹), egg hunts, spring bingo, photo booth moments, and the sweetest Easter treats to top it all off.

The excitement, the giggles, the “this is the best day ever!” comments… truly nothing better 🥰

Watching both of my kids enjoy it with their classes made it even more special.

Safe to say… I’ve peaked as a class mom this year 😂🐣

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

POV: You’re the mom who takes the golden egg very seriously 🏆✨

Golden egg prize? Elevated.
Classroom favors? Handled.
Teacher gift? Obviously adorable.

Because if there’s a way to make it extra cute and budget-friendly… I’m doing it 💁‍♀️🐰

And the best part? Even the teacher is in on the fun this year 🥹
She’s adding surprise coupons into some eggs — think “teacher’s chair,” sit with a stuffy, lunch bunch, and more 🎉

The kids get excited, the teacher feels appreciated, and honestly… I have way too much fun putting it all together 🫶

Little moments like this = core memories in the making 💛

The stain remover every parent needs in their laundry room…

My son somehow got jelly (or sauce? honestly who knows 😅) all over his white polo… you know, the nice one we save for family photos and holidays.

I pulled out this Fels-Naptha bar and rubbed it on the stain and it was like magic. The whole thing came right out. 🙌🏼

Every parent needs one of these in their laundry room. With baseball season starting, I have a feeling this little bar is about to get a lot of use. ⚾️

Just a little St. Patrick’s Day surprise for the teachers who make such a difference in our kids’ lives. ☘️

A few green goodies and some rainbow candy to remind them how lucky we feel they’re our teachers this year. 💚

Teachers truly don’t get enough credit for everything they do — and we’re so grateful for ours.

#LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife #LTKKids

These 3D dragon eggs are so cool 🐉🥚

My kids are already deciding which classmate would like which color… and honestly that alone feels like a little mom win 👏🏼

Each egg has a tiny 3D-printed dragon inside with articulated joints and the coolest little scale details. They’re made from durable PLA plastic so they’re lightweight but still sturdy enough for kids to play with or use as fidget toys.

Perfect for Easter baskets, classroom prizes, or just a fun surprise for dragon-loving kids.
