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. ⚾️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKKids

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.

#LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

Have you ever heard of Change Up Kids?! Because where has this been all my life?!

Between beach days, pool days, lake trips and dance competitions… we are constantly trying to do the “hold up a towel and pray” routine while someone changes 😅 Not anymore.

This little pop-up changing room is GENIUS. It literally springs open in seconds (no poles, no confusing setup, no dad getting frustrated 😂). It folds flat into a small bag that even the kids can carry, and it keeps sand, wet swimsuits and chaos out of your car. 🙌🏼

But what I love most? It gives them PRIVACY. Real privacy. As they get older, that matters more and more. It’s such a simple thing that makes them feel comfortable and confident changing anywhere — beach, splash pad, recital, tournament… you name it.

It’s waterproof, durable, has a breathable mesh bottom for rinsing off, and it’s clearly made by a mom who gets it. 🫶🏼

AND this part really stood out to me — a portion of every purchase supports the Tim Tebow Foundation to help fight child trafficking. That’s a mission I can absolutely get behind. 🤍

If your family basically lives out of the car all summer, this is one of those “why didn’t I get this sooner?” items.

I have a feeling these are going to sell out fast for summer so don’t wait! ☀️🛒👇🏼

#LTKmomlife #LTKTravel #LTKKids

Okay this is going straight into my Easter basket this year 🐣✨

If you’ve been curious about the viral Peach & Lily “Glass Skin” skincare, this little discovery kit is the BEST way to try it without buying all the full-size products first.

You get the full 4-step glass skin routine in travel sizes:
💧 Cleanser
💧 Essence
💧 Glass Skin Serum
💧 Matcha Pudding Cream

Perfect for travel, sleepovers, or tossing in your gym bag too!

And the deal right now is so good…
It’s a $65 value but only $39 with Prime shipping 🙌🏼

I honestly think this would make the cutest Easter basket filler for teens, college girls, or anyone who loves skincare.

Feeling a little extra lucky this week 🍀

We put together some St. Patrick’s Day favors for my daughter’s class using real dried shamrocks and tiny glass jars so the kids can keep a little luck with them wherever they go.

I used my Liene sticker machine to make the tags and labels, added some rainbow goodies, and packed everything into colorful treat bags for the class.

Simple, sweet, and hopefully a little bit magical for the kiddos.

Now let’s see if these shamrocks bring them some extra luck on spelling tests and math quizzes. 😄

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

It’s Read Across America Day 📚❤️ and I couldn’t let it pass without a little Dr. Seuss fun.

What better way to spark a love of reading than with a few simple, colorful extras? Bookmarks, fun writing utensils, mini memo pads for creating their own silly stories… nothing over the top, just little things that make reading feel exciting.

I used my sticker printer to make the tags (because you know I can’t resist a themed label 😅) and turned everything into easy goodie bags.

Simple. Festive. And anything that gets kids excited about books is a win in my book. 💙📖

#LTKKids #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife

Random Acts of Kindness: classroom edition 🖍️🌈💛

This week I put together these little kindness bags for a lucky kindergarten class + our first grade class 🥹✨

My hope is to create a domino effect… one classroom at a time—spreading kindness contagiously 🫶🏼

Because if we can teach them young that kindness matters, imagine the kind of world they’ll grow up to create 🥹💛

And honestly… who doesn’t love a little surprise that adds some color to their day? 🌈

No more struggling with 10 grocery bags cutting into your fingers, making 5 trips back and forth to the car, or trying to balance everything like a circus act 🤡😂

This Click & Carry holder seriously holds a TON (up to 100 lbs!!) and the gel padding makes it so much more comfortable. You can carry it in your hand OR throw it over your shoulder which is honestly a game changer.

And it’s not just for groceries… think sports gear, beach bags, shopping bags, literally anything.

✔️ Holds multiple bags at once

✔️ Hands free for keys/phone/kids 😅
✔️ Fits in your pocket or car console

One of those little things that makes life way easier 🙌🏼✨

#LTKmomlife #LTKTravel

How cute are these little Valentine’s lip balms?! 🥹💘
I grabbed them at Target and they’re less than $6 for 8… which is honestly a steal.

They’re the Sweethearts ones with the little “to/from” tags already on them (so they’re basically ready to hand out 🙌🏼) and the flavors are so fun + nostalgic.

Circle cardholders can also snag an extra 5% off! 💗
Perfect for classroom Valentines, friends, teammates, or little gift add-ons!

Made a little “Cupid Mix” for the kids’ classroom Valentine’s parties 💘
So simple, so cute, and honestly the containers make it look way more extra than it actually is 😂

I used my Liene sticker maker to make the little tags (obsessed) and now they’re all packed up and ready to go! 💌🍓🥨🍫

Perfect sweet + salty mix and the kids are going to LOVE them.

#LTKValentine #LTKfoodie #LTKKids

I grabbed the buckets from Walmart and made a little “bouquet” with simple Valentine goodies — easy, affordable, and totally adorable.

Perfect if you need something thoughtful without overthinking it 💕
Teachers deserve ALL the love ❤️🍎

#LTKselfcare #LTKValentine

These Valentine favors are already a hit… and they haven’t even made it to school yet 😅 My kids have tried to steal every single monster keychain—can’t blame them. If you’re still looking for ideas, this one hits every sweet spot 🤩🍬👾

#LTKmomlife #LTKKids #LTKValentine

One of my favorite things about the Liene sticker printer is how easy it is to turn little ideas into real projects 🖨️✨
From classroom Valentines to custom birthday stickers for my daughter’s friends — the possibilities honestly feel endless. And yes, I’m already thinking about what to make next 😆

#LTKKids #LTKmomlife #LTKValentine

Some really cute new Free Assembly pieces just dropped at Walmart 🤩 Classic, comfy, and so easy to mix and match.

These little DIY Love Bot 🤖 juice boxes are ready to make any classroom party extra fun 💕 Perfect for Valentine’s Day, class celebrations, or parties — and seriously so easy to make. All you need are juice boxes, ribbon (or construction paper… or nothing at all!), a little hot glue or glue dots, Smarties for arms, a chocolate heart, Nerds boxes + Starburst for ears, and googly eyes to bring them to life. I wrapped the ribbon halfway so the straw stays exposed in the back for easy sipping. Easy, cute, and kid-approved!

#LTKKids #LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife
