Loving this denim shirt from Target! This piece is a great year round piece—a closet staple! I sized up to a M. It’s a little bit of a heavier weight. Great quality. Sharing the darker color in a separate post

✨WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR HOME: UNDER $100✨

Last week I shared my favorite ways to update a home for free and mentioned I was going to make it a series, so without further ado, let’s get to it! It’s pretty amazing with a small amount of money what you can do and make a big impact!

1) PAINT—okay, I can’t emphasize this enough, PAINT, PAINT, PAINT! A room, a wall, a door, trim, a piece of furniture, the options are endless! Whether you want moody or neutral, bright and bold, or light and airy paint can change the entire vibe of a space. And do everyone a favor and skip the internet. Just pick a color that brings joy (but samples are your friend 🙃)

2) PEEL AND STICK TILE: we used this in our laundry room and it’s still one of my favorite DIYs to date. It literally changes the look of the entire space and is relatively easy to complete! We’ve had ours two years now with zero issues. I’ve seen the backsplash tiles that also look amazing! It’s a great way to test out a look, too, before fully committing.

3) WAINSCOTING/MOULDING: a 4x8 panel of beadboard costs under $25 at Home Depot. We’ve used this in our laundry room and my younger son’s room. It’s a very beginner friendly DIY! Adding a chair rail or frame moulding can also be inexpensive depending how many walls you are completing and on the size of the room.

4) ARTWORK: I love to buy artwork on Etsy or my favorite @collectionprints! I oftentimes buy digital downloads to save on cost and you can have them printed so many places. I prefer to splurge a little more on larger pieces and prefer glicée prints! Thrift frames to save on money or sometimes HomeGoods has really awesome deals, too 🙌🏻

5) STEMS: Swapping out stems can be a fun way to add some color to a space. If you have a black thumb like me 🙃 there are so many faux stems look very realistic. It’s a great way to refresh a space each season, too!

Anything else you would add to this list? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏻

✨MUST HAVE TRAVEL ESSENTIALS✨

These are some of my tried and true favorite travel items I have used for years!

-These packing cubes make packing a cinch! I can fit so much in them and it makes things so much easier when packing with kids so everything stays separated. And these shoe bags keep our clothes from all the junk we walk on!
-These toiletry and makeup bags fit all of my hair, makeup, and skincare essentials! I keep basically all of my travel stuff in the hanging bag so it’s ready to go. And I love that this makeup bag lies flat!
-This portable charger allows you to charge up to 4 devices at once. It comes in super handy (especially at Disney when you are constantly using your phone). It’s thin and easily fits into a purse.
-I love, love, love my Kindle! It’s super thin so I can easily throw it into my carry on or personal item and it’s great because I can have more than one book if needed!
-These mesh bags I use for everything from travel to home organization! I typically throw all my cords in here, but I use them for sunscreen and meds for my kids or as extra bags for a change of clothes. So many uses!
-I like that this jewelry carrier fits lots of different items without being super bulky!

✨LUCKY CHARMS MARSHMALLOW TREAT✨

If you’re looking for a fun, simple way to celebrate St. Patty’s these marshmallow treats are a hit! Super easy to make with only 4 ingredients!

1/3 cup unsalted butter
pinch of salt
12 ounce bag of marshmallows
5 1/2 cups Lucky Charms cereal

Grease a 9 x 9 pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and salt and stir with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides to make sure the marshmallows do not burn. As soon as the marshmallows are melted, remove from the heat immediately. Add the Lucky Charms cereal, folding to coat the cereal completely. (I’d recommend spraying your spatula with some cooking oil to prevent sticking—ask me how I know 🙃) Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down into an even layer. Place in the fridge to set for at least 20 minutes. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the treats into 12 rectangles. Enjoy!

✨POV it finally feels like home✨

It’s taken us 7 years to get this well-loved 80s home to a point that feels like ours and we’re still not done. Let this be your reminder progress doesn’t happen overnight and older homes still deserve love.

✨FOLLOW along if you want realistic home inspiration and like slow home projects, too 🫶🏻

✨EASY READS TO BRING ON SPRING BREAK (part 1)✨

If you know me then you know I’m a lighthearted book kind of gal! And rom-coms are especially fun for me! Here’s six I’d recommend for easy reading!

1) Book Lovers by @emilyhenrywrites is a classic. I love these play on the tropes here. Emily Henry is the queen of witty banter and she will always be a must read for me! If you’re more of an audiobook person, the queen herself @justjuliawhelan narrates and is 🤌🏻

2) Happy Place by Emily Henry is a top 5 favorite rom-com of mine. I LOVE this book and have read multiple times. Friends to lovers, forced proximity, just one bed? It’s got it all. But truly these characters had me from matching tshirts. 🫶🏻 Julia Whelan narrates this one, too!

3) The Unhoneymooners by @christinalauren was my first read by this author and it did not disappoint! I loved getting to watch sworn enemies Olive and Ethan try to banter their way out of a sticky situation. Preferred the book to the audio on this one!

4) The Seven Year Slip by @heyashposton was nothing that I was expecting and I loved it just the same! This sweet and magical story of Clementine and Iwan had me rooting for these time-traveling characters as their love changed and grew. Loved the audio on this one!

5) Better Than the Movies by @lynnpainterbooks was a nice little surprise for me! I hadn’t realized when I picked it out that it was a young adult book, but somehow Wes and Liz wriggled their way into heart! Maybe it’s the nostalgia of first love, maybe it’s the banter, maybe it’s the little ways Wes shows up for Liz. But no matter this book had a hold on me! Plus a playlist to go with it? Say less! Audio was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻

6) Part of Your World by @authorabbyjimenez is Abby’s peak performance. A mix of small town romance meets big city, a strong female lead, and a pig for a town mascot? What more could you want? 🙃

BONUS: Every Beautiful Mile by @ashleymanleywrites is an incredibly beautiful story! 5⭐️s

✨SAVE this post for later! Stay tuned for PART 2!

Grabbed this travel backpack recently because I have always preferred one to a shoulder bag. This one is like a carry on but still fits under the seat! It has a bottom pocket for shoes, a water proof pocket, and a large main compartment where you can pack clothes, too! Just an FYI if you pack shoes there won’t be as much space for clothes since the compartment inserts inside the main compartment. It has a side pocket for water and buckles to keep things contained. I couldn’t pass up the green 😍 only thing that would make this better is two side pockets vs. one

This Solawave red light mask is BOGO right now! My friend and I split the cost making it way more affordable! I used it tonight for the first time and I wish it wasn’t only a 3 minute treatment because it felt so good!

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

Perfect for no makeup days or when you just want your skin to look extra dewy! These products are both 10/10!

Professional piddler over here 💁🏻‍♀️🤭

But if I can be real for a second, ever since we got back from Florida I can’t seem to get back in the swing of life. My meal planning has fallen to the wayside, I feel like I’ve dropped the ball on things related to my home and kids, I’m in a content slump…I don’t know, I just can’t seem to catch up for some reason. I’m doing things, but at the same time nothing feels…productive? Tell me I’m not alone 😅

✨A DIY THAT’S EASY, PRETTY, AND FUNCTIONAL✨

If you’ve been here awhile, you know that this is a recipe I follow in my home! Form always needs to meet function! I did this DIY over the summer and it’s still a favorite little moment in my “office” space! I’m going to see if I can find a bigger one for my kiddos’ rooms, that way they can hang all their favorite artwork and Polaroids! 🫶🏻 Think family center, too. So many options!

These champagne bronze pulls and knobs are all gorgeousss 😍 trying to pick out some for our new basement cabinets. Which is your favorite?!

#LTKHome

Looove these chairs! A CB2 look for less! Solid and pretty heavy! The shape is 😍 and I love that these fabric is a little darker for inevitable spills!

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife

I’ve been trying some different clean protein options recently. So far I’ve tried Clean Simple Eats, which I loved, and now this one, which is also very good! I can see using this with some Fairlife milk in the Ninja Creami for some yummy healthy ice cream!

✨EASY AND COMFORTABLE SPRING BREAK LOOKS✨

I love pieces that I can wear multiple ways and reuse time and time again. All the outfits are lightweight and flowy making them super comfortable for warmer climates. Sets are an easy way to achieve an elevated look without overthinking it, which is great for packing! Plus so many of these pieces can be styled with other options, like jeans with the tops or pants with a jean or light jacket.

I love this first tee because not only do I love poppies but we called my grandpa “Poppy” and so this will always make me think of him when I wear it 🫶🏻 a fun graphic tee for spring and summer! And the tanks at the end? I think I own them in 5 colors now 🙃 my literal favorite. Extremely comfortable, double lined, and easy to layer or wear on their own!

Grabbed this adorable skirt from H&M for a baby shower. I love how slow it is. It has an elastic waistband and an inner lining which you can see in the video. It’s the prettiest pink and would work really well this spring and for Easter!

Wearing a size S in skirt and sweater. Shoes are Nike from a few years ago, but linking similar.

✨heavy on the homebody✨

Home is my happy place 🫶🏻 I love pouring my soul into our 80s home. The nicest compliment someone gave me was that they loved how warm our home felt and that they could tell how much love and effort we put into it. My heart honestly warmed hearing it because that’s all I’ve ever wanted—for others to feel welcome and comfort in our home 🫶🏻

✨MOM-FRIENDLY SWIMSUITS THAT STILL MAKE ME FEEL 🔥✨

Okay, let’s be real for a sec. We all want to feel like ourselves, but also can’t be falling out of things when we’re at the beach or a pool. These are all affordable finds from Target and Amazon! The last two are some of my favorites! Some of these are a little more cheeky than others, but I still count them in the mom-friendly category.

Added this to my skincare routine at night the last few nights! I really like how hydrating it is. I have honestly just been pressing it into my skin not wiping it with a makeup round like I do with their regular witch hazel toner. It gives the best boost of hydration! Between this and my DIME products I go to bed so glowy and I swear I woke up this morning looking extra awake!

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

Both these pieces are from target! I’m still on the fence about these jeans. They fit really well and they’re very comfortable, but I can’t decide if they’re a little too baggy for my liking. Personal preference for sure otherwise recommend. And this denim top is so good! So easy to style multiple ways. I sized up to a medium.

✨AMAZON MOST USED KITCHEN FINDS✨

1) This paper towel holder with the built in spray is the most genius product. It’s all right at your fingertips making cleaning up spills a breeze!
2) These silicone utensils are easy to clean and food safe. A better alternative to plastic and high heat safe.
3) These magnetic measuring spoons are another genius product. Easy to separate but still easy to keep together. Plus the dual side makes getting spices out of jars a non-issue!
4) These wine glasses are a favorite of mine. I love the shape of them and they are made out of crystal. The perfect size, too! Come in a set of 4.
5) This bamboo organizer is perfect for utensil use. It is expandable and has enough space for all your daily essentials! Non slip bottom.
6) I have multiple sets of these soap pumps around my home. They look elevated on your countertop and allow you to customize what you have at arms length! Come in other color combinations, too!
7) These stirring spoons are perfect for my coffee bar. A great size, don’t stain, and sometimes bits just about the little things 🫶🏻
8) I grabbed these glass food storage containers a few months ago and they seal so well making them leak proof and airtight. Plus being glass they are non-toxic and oven safe. The modular design makes storing them easy!
9) I love these silicone oven mitts and pot holders! They make gripping pans easy, they wipe down without issue, and they are heat resistant unlike most cotton ones. I use the mitts the most!
10) These reusable sponge cloths save on paper towel waste, are odor-resistant, super absorbent, are machine washable, and commercially compostable!

Okay, this set is so comfortable and lightweight! Great for the beach or summer! Comes in other colors. This was VERY oversized for a small. I washed and dried it in hopes it would help and it did! But it did shrink so be aware of that when purchasing!

#LTKootd #LTKTravel

I have about 6 pairs of these shorts and I basically buy them every year. They are the best! I get size XS.

#LTKootd

Wore this for a date night out with the hubs when we were in Florida! I LOVE these tanks so much!

#LTKootd

Grabbed this suit before our trip. I really like the cut of it and it has pretty good booty coverage and a cute cut out in the back. I like the fabric, too!

✨how I styled my Target spring finds✨

I don’t know why, but the spring stems always seem to be the best at Target. I always find such great options! These sedum stems have been a favorite of mine for years! I’m so glad they keep bringing them back. I had to grab them in this little vase. Perfect for small spaces! I also have been looking for a new utensil holder and I love the shape and tone of this one for my space. 👌🏻
