I love St. Patrick’s Day — so of course I’m already thinking about it in February! Give me all the shamrocks!

These outfit ideas (available on Amazon!) are some affordable options for a little green!

My kids have recently gotten into making leprechaun traps for St. Patrick’s Day — you can buy simple kits like these (or build your own with recycling materials!). The little footprint stamp and green ink pad can help provide a little extra magic the next morning when that sneaky leprechaun got away! 😉☘️

#LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

St. Patrick’s Day is truly one of my favorite holidays — just fun, fanfare, a little drinking and revelry, and Irish pride! Even if you don’t have a lick of Irish in your blood, it’s your day to don the green and shamrocks.

Of course, you know where the cutest sweaters are from — and I’m loving the sweatshirt they’ve launched this year! Pair any of them with complementary socks for a fully cohesive Irish outfit!

Heart Day is right around the corner and there are so many cute and festive pieces to help you celebrate! 💕 I love finding an outfit staple that I can save and rewear every Valentine’s Day — and these KJP sweaters are perfect! Pair it with a fun accent jewelry piece and you’re ready to go!

It’s that time in the winter where outside is FREEZING and I want nothing more than to just be cozy and warm. Curled up on the couch with a comfort show or a good book? Yes please!

Welcome to the ultimate warm, comfort items — the coziest blanket, amazing slippers from Bombas, a full back heating pad that wraps over your shoulders and ties around the waist…. Everything you need for some hygge in the dead of winter.

The cutest Valentine’s outfits and pajamas for your little girl! I can’t get over the ruffle sleeves on those pjs — and how cute they would be together for a big/little sister match!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKBaby #LTKKids

It can sometimes feel like boys get the short end of the stick for Valentine’s Day — but I’ve dug up some very cute (and still boyish!) Valentine’s shirts and prints that I think you’ll love! (Just take a peek at that valentines sailboat pajama print!)

Not into hearts and images? A classic solid red, striped, or gingham polo shirt also does the trick!

New year, new play room organization! I’m going to let you in on one of my favorite kids’ play furniture brands — ECR4Kids! They’re available on Amazon and Wayfair, which makes them super accessible. Their furniture is all SOLID (and I mean, solid! Durable enough to hold up for years of use and wear — this is like daycare quality real wood!).

I also love their SoftZone options (and I’m partial to the contemporary colorway). Why? Open ended play with soft, wipeable pieces. My kids love to tumble, build forts, and stack these pieces. We bought them when my oldest was just 1 and here we are six years later, still getting daily use out of them! I use Clorox wipes on them to keep them clean and even the worst pen marks can be wiped off — such a win!

Don’t take my word for it; let 2025 be the year you invest in strong, durable pieces to store your kids’ toys, costumes and games — and make your play area cohesive and sensible!

Valentine’s Day is next month and whether you’re heart-obsessed or like a more subtle pink/red look, mini Boden has so many cute options that transition well into spring! Take a peek!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

We got our Christmas tree today, chopped it down and set it up (decorating will come later!). But the process reminded me that my only real marriage advice around the holidays is to avoid fights over the Christmas tree with these clever products!

(Not even kidding, I fully attribute the fact that we weren’t completely at each other’s throats to this super durable and easy-to-use tree stand!)

Peek into stories for a quick snapshot of each product and how it can save your relationship this holiday season. 😉🎄

#LTKHoliday #LTKFamily

ChappyWrap is having their Black Friday 20% off sale — which means it’s a very rare opportunity to grab a mini (30x40) blanket for under $50!!

A perfect gift for a new baby — I love these to use for milestone pictures and tummy time, and cold weather stroller walks! As they get older, this is my preferred size to bring in the car for long rides (they’re the perfect lap blanket for kids in a car seat and fit so well folded up in the back pocket of the driver’s seat!).

Pssst, these also don’t normally qualify for free shipping but since sitewide free shipping is part of the sale, go ahead and grab just one without paying ship costs! 😉

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKBaby #LTKGiftGuide

Thanksgiving is coming!! And while the focus is food and not things, I did round up some fun finds to make the day (especially with kids!) a little easier and more enjoyable — from a giant coloring page that doubles as a tablecloth to funny themed hats! A joke book and sticker turkey faces will keep the kids busy while they wait for dinner, and then we’ve got family friendly games and a glow-in-the-dark football to keep the festivities going all evening long!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

Cat and Jack toddler and kid snow bibs are on sale right now! Grab a backup pair for school or daycare! A great low-cost option to have on hand!

#LTKKids #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

The Mr. Christmas radio is such a beloved part of our holiday decor in our house — and it’s so fun and cute! My kids love this vintage style radio that plays little North Pole news and holiday jingles!

#LTKHoliday #LTKKids #LTKGiftGuide

Melissa & Doug wooden gingerbread hit — already trending as a bestselling toy for the holiday season!

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids #LTKHoliday

These Snuggly Soft pajamas from Cat & Jack target are my kids’ winter favorites. They’re snug but super cozy — and I love them because they’re incredibly inexpensive, making family matching easy and affordable! Currently on sale so grab them now — they do sell out of sizes during the season!

#LTKFamily #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

The Hanna Andersson x Crayola pajamas made the BEST Halloween costumes! We just paired them with some cute hats off Amazon and voilà!

#LTKKids #LTKBaby #LTKHoliday

Candy canes and peppermint — the taste of the holiday season! I can’t help pairing this bestselling holiday ChappyWrap (now available in BOTH midi and original size!) with these adorable candy cane cutie outfits! My daughter loves a good twirly tutu and these styles are so festive and fun!

#LTKBaby #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

Christmas is coming! I love a little vintage Christmas feel — makes me so nostalgic for visiting my great-grandparents at Christmas and all their decor!

Two products we absolutely LOVE — these fair isle style sweaters from Amazon (you won’t believe the price, and the quality is great!). And the Mr. Christmas radio is a beloved piece that we bring out for the holiday season — my kids have so much fun playing with ours!

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKKids

Holiday is on the horizon and I can just SMELL the warm fresh gingerbread! Rounded up some gingerbread-inspired cozy pieces — ready to snuggle up on the couch or bean bag with a hot cup of cocoa in a fuzzy bathrobe! Just put on a Christmas movie in the background and it’s the perfect holiday scene!

These Disney princess inspired dresses are knit and designed for everyday wear — plus, they’re super affordable at Walmart! These have been really popular and trending online - for good reason! But sizes are limited and they do not often restock, so I wouldn’t hesitate to grab them for baby and toddler Halloween costumes if you’re interested!

#LTKBaby #LTKFallSale #LTKKids

I’m obsessed with the Hanna Andersson x Crayola collaboration for these cute cute pajama sets! Would make the perfect, low-maintenance family Halloween costumes (with the benefit of being able to keep wearing the pajamas!).
