A little Thanksgiving tablescape for our “mini” lunch this Sunday with family! 🦃🤎 While I love fine china, we are in a season of using paper plates so we can have less time washing dishes and more time to wrangle children and enjoy each others company! However, just because we’re doing paper plates doesn’t mean they can’t be eye-appealing 😉 All these budget-friendly items can create a beautiful yet simple holiday table for you to enjoy. What’s on your menu? I’m cooking from my Seasonal Recipe Cookbook (the Holiday Collection) and a new recipe I created earlier this month! 🍽️ #ltkhome #thanksgivingtable #thanksgivingstyle #tablescape #tabledecor #holidaytable #recipes #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday
First family photos as Folkerts party of 5!!! My heart could burst, I love our little family so much and so thankful to have baby John “Jack” Loren here with us 🤎🙏🏻 Shopped some small businesses for our looks this year! #familyphotos #christmasphotos #familypictures #momof3 #LTKSeasonal #LTKFamily #LTKHoliday
My go-to baby items for our third baby! I’m not big on a bunch of “stuff” or gadgets or containers, there’s lots of snuggling over here! But some of my favorite things make middle of the night feedings easier (hello double zip pjs and tap touch night light), taking baby on the go simpler (portable sound machine) and allow me to be hands-free when needed to help the big kids (carrier and bouncer!). We love being a family of five!! #newborn #momofthree #thirdbaby #newbaby #babyessentials #babymusthaves #LTKFamily #LTKBaby #LTKBump

My mom shared her kitchen must-have’s with me and I’ve put her favorites together!! She cooked a from-scratch meal for us every day my entire childhood and began her love for cooking as a newlywed with my dad over 30 years ago! She is definitely my go-to cooking expert. Her must-have list has some similar things to mine but also quite a few different ones too!! She’s the best cook I know 💗 Kitchen must-haves, kitchen items, cooking things, cooking, kitchen #LTKSpringSale #LTKfamily #LTKhome

Cooking
Fall hosting decor! No shame in my paper plate, budget decor game 🤎 I definitely prefer to use the good plates and silver, but it’s much easier in this stage of life with little ones to go the disposable, no dishes route. I still want my hosting decor to be fun and a little “dressed up,” so I find seasonal disposable items that are festive and eye-appealing! I got these acrylic, BPA-free stemless wine glasses because I’ve just been too nervous about our glasses breaking when hosting and having the littles running around! These colors are cute for fall 🍂 #fallhosting #falldecor #falltable #fallstyle #fallhome #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50
Hi, kitchen! Lighting swaps, some woven blinds and greenery brought this kitchen to life. I love it! #kitchendecor #kitchen #kitchenstyle #LTKHome
Living room love! Yes there are some things that still need to be done in here (trim rug pads after flattening, mount TV), but this room has come together just like I hoped it would! There are pieces I’ve waited YEARS to put in our home and so worth the wait! Delayed gratification is lost in our generation… whole other tangent. But now that the time/house/budget is right, we could make it happen and I cried happy tears seeing the Last Supper go up in our home. Rant over, here’s our living room, pieces all designed to be kid/family friendly and last a long time! Performance fabrics, easy to clean, inexpensive pillows, greenery to soften, floor space for the kids to play, functional and practical. #livingroom #livingroomdecor #familyroom #homedecor #homestyle #LTKHome #LTKFamily
