Red, white, & bougie… on a budget 🇺🇸✨

Target’s Americana fashion this year is SO good. The gingham, the knits, the preppy little patriotic details… it’s giving expensive summer vacation vibes without the expensive price tag 😂

And the best part? Everything I tried on was under $35 👏

Perfect for:
✨ Memorial Day weekend
✨ Fourth of July outfits
✨ summer vacations
✨ backyard BBQs
✨ lake days
✨ baseball games
✨ just living your best preppy summer mom life

As a frugal mom, I fully support looking bougie without spending bougie money 😌

Comment SUMMER and I’ll send links to everything!

I loved the faux hydrangea planters at Costco… but they’re $139.99 each and sold out almost everywhere.

So I made my own for way less.

Here’s how to recreate this high-end spring porch look:

Step 1: Grab realistic faux hydrangea trees
I found tall, super full faux hydrangea trees on Amazon — 2 for $159.

Step 2: Upgrade a $5 planter
Dollar Tree sells large plastic planters for $5 each.
Spray them lightly with Rust-Oleum Stone spray paint in “Bleached Stone” to give them a textured, stone-like finish.

Step 3: Plant them
Place the faux tree inside the planter and fill around it with potting soil to weigh everything down and keep it sturdy.

Total cost breakdown:
• Hydrangea trees (2): $159
• Planters: $10
• Spray paint: $20

Total for TWO planters: $189
That’s $94.50 each.

Compare that to Costco’s $139.99 each ($279.98 for two).

Savings: about $91 for the pair.

Same beautiful spring porch vibe… for way less.

Comment FLOWERS and I’ll send you the links for the hydrangea trees, spray paint, and similar planters.

I grabbed this outdoor mud kitchen for my toddler… and was surprised how much ALL my kids love it! 😍 #samspartner #affiliatelink

Here’s why it’s so good:
• Hooks up to your garden hose for a REAL working sink
• Comes with pots, pans, and gardening tools
• Built-in chalkboard for pretend play
• Flower pots for planting + sensory play
• Turns into a full backyard “restaurant,” mud kitchen, or garden station

We set ours up as a little garden area and it keeps them busy forever. Like… actual independent play 🙌

Perfect for spring and summer if you want kids outside, creative, and off screens.

HAPPY Mod Podge Month!
I wanted something cute and festive for all of our summer gatherings, so I made these DIY patriotic mason jar centerpieces using Mod Podge.
How to make them:
1️⃣ Start with clean mason jars
2️⃣ Cut out designs from patriotic napkins (I used popsicles + cupcakes for a fun summer vibe)
3️⃣ Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the jar and place your napkin pieces
4️⃣ Gently smooth them down, then seal with another thin layer of Mod Podge
5️⃣ Let dry completely
I made a set of 3 and added faux hydrangeas for the cutest table setup that is just perfect for Memorial Day, backyard BBQs, and the 4th of July.
These are so simple, but they make your whole table feel styled and ready for summer.

Save this budget-friendly party hack for your next sports night, tailgate, or team celebration!

I loved the look of those trendy turf table runners for my Kentucky Derby party, but not the price tag…so I made my own version for way less by cutting up a large 6’x8’ turf rug that was under $25. It gave me multiple runners for less than the cost of buying just one pre-made version, and added the perfect sporty vibe to the setup.

This would be so fun for:
• Football tailgates
• Super Bowl parties
• World Cup watch parties
• Baseball birthdays
• End of season team parties
• March Madness setups
• Golf-themed parties
• Soccer snacks for game day
• Little league celebrations
• Sports banquets
• Backyard BBQs
• Fantasy football draft nights
• Graduation parties for sports lovers

One of those little hosting details that makes everything feel extra fun without being complicated.

I’m obsessed with this because we eat so much watermelon in the summer, but I never have space to store it!

The pitcher makes it easier to store and you can pour out the juice to keep it from getting soggy.

Also my husband accidentally bought a yellow watermelon 🍉 like, what?! 😆 Still pretty good though!

SAVE this idea to try this summer!

I wanted to make something a little different for Teacher Appreciation this year, so I turned these mini globes into custom hand-painted gifts!
How I made them:
1️⃣ I started with a coat of Waverly Chalk Paint in Snow White to fully cover the original globe
2️⃣ Once dry, I used a variety of Apple Barrel paints to add bright, fun colors and paint simple floral designs
3️⃣ Then I used Apple Barrel paint pens to write each teacher’s name for a personalized touch
They’re such a cute little keepsake for a teacher’s desk and feel so much more special than a store-bought gift.
If you love giving something handmade and meaningful, this is such a fun one to try.

A softball win, a baseball win, and the cutest little backyard DIY Derby party! 🐎🐎🐎

Such a fun day!

I ended up moving my balloon garland/arch to the side gate entrance of our backyard and was amazed how easy it was to move and clamp right on to the gate with this party stand!

Also, I bought one of the turf table runners from Michael’s and it was like $30, but then I realized you can just get a giant like 8x6’ turf rug from Home Depot for under $30 and just cut it into a BUNCH of table runners! This is my new favorite budget party hack for sports themed parties or tailgating!! It made the red roses stand out everywhere!

Comment DERBY for any links, I’ll link everything that I can find.

Make sure to check my page for all the DIY ideas like the centerpieces, fascinator, and balloon arch, and follow for more fun 🤩

#ad Let’s turn our home into Churchill Downs to celebrate the Kentucky Derby! This balloon setup completely transformed the space… and it was WAY easier than it looks.
Here’s how to do it:
Grab the Balloon Time air inflator to blow up all the balloons FAST
Tie balloons in sets of 2, and then twist them into a cluster of 4, alternate colors and keep building until you have the desired length and fullness of your garland.
Hang it on the wall using painters tape, or use a table stand like I did! (no wall damage, no tape, no stress)
This is perfect for:
• Parties
• Birthdays
• Baby showers
• Backyard hosting
Balloon Time helium tanks and inflators are such an easy way to completely transform your party space right at home, and I love that they’re celebrating 40 years as a trusted partner for celebrations big and small.
You can totally get a professional balloon display look, without needing to hire it out.

Turning basic butter into the prettiest little detail on your table 🌸✨

All I did was press softened butter into a silicone mold and chill… and now I’m never serving butter the same again.

Use these for:
• pancake + waffle toppers at your Mother’s Day brunch
• butter for dinner rolls at graduation parties
• spring charcuterie boards
• baby or bridal showers
• garden parties or girls brunch
• even just making a weeknight dinner feel a little extra

It’s such a simple, affordable way to make your table feel styled and special without spending more.

We created the cutest little painted rock garden to enjoy by our patio, and it might be one of my favorite easy outdoor projects yet!
I used the new FolkArt Outdoor Paint to bring these rocks to life with bright and fun colors!
What I love most about this is that it’s not just decor, it’s an activity. I set aside a space in our yard where we can keep adding new rocks to it all season long.
It’s creative, easy, and will be so much fun to watch it grow over time.
If you want to make your own:
🎨 Grab some rocks and clean them
🌸 Paint simple designs with outdoor paint
☀️ Let dry and add them to your garden space
This is your sign to make something colorful, creative, and a little bit magical this spring.

Packing for a family trip just got SO much easier (I don’t think you’re supposed to pack them QUITE this full though…oh well 😝)

Here’s what actually worked for us:
• Each kid had their own packing cube
• I made one cube just for swim
• One cube for our Disney day outfits

Everything had a place, and I always knew exactly where it was 🙌

They do save space… but the real magic is the organization.

If you’re traveling with kids, this is 100% worth it.

If you’re building an Easter basket for a toddler… skip the candy and add THIS instead 🐣✨ #ad

MESS-FREE EASTER BASKET IDEA:
1. Start with a giant clear egg
2. Fill it with toddler-friendly goodies + creative fun
3. And make the ⭐️ star of the basket: the Crayola Color Wonder Coloring Set with Ms. Rachel

This has been SUCH a win for us because:
✔️ The Color Wonder markers ONLY work on the Special Color Wonder paper (no mess on hands, clothes, or furniture 🙌)
✔️ It keeps them busy with screen-free play
✔️ It’s perfect for on-the-go, travel, or quiet time

Plus it’s safe, nontoxic, and made for little ones 3+... totally mom-approved 💛

Such a fun (and practical) non-candy Easter basket idea they’ll actually use again and again!

I always thought Kinder just made the classic Kinder Eggs, but I found a whole collection of Kinder treats at Five Below! 🐰Kinder Bueno, chocolate bunnies, adorable mini animals… basically an entire Kinder section. I also found the cute basket at Five Below.

My kids have been obsessed with Kinder eggs since the beginning of time, so I know they will love to try these! They’ve always been our go-to stocking stuffer and holiday treat, so turning it into a whole Easter basket theme just felt right.

Everything in this basket came from Five Below, which made it such an easy (and affordable) Easter basket idea if you have a Kinder fan at home.

If you want to recreate this basket or find the Kinder treats I used, comment KINDER and I’ll send you the links I can find!
