Outside
Everything to make going outside fun, relaxing, and less stressful! Bc everyone benefits from sunshine!
My kids are obsessed with this. It is everything. It makes getting anything done outside easy and keeps them entertained forever.
Tide Water & Sensory Table - smol
With 3 kids (soon to be four) this is what dreams are made of. No longer do I dread going to the beach, the zoo, the park. Room for snacks? Check. Not having to carry everything? Glorious.
Jeep Wrangler Deluxe 4 Seater Stroller Wagon by Delta
Inside
For those lowkey days or rainy weather, to help keep you sane and the kids from destroying everything from being confined and bored (never a good combo 😂)
My girls love building with magna tiles, legos, and drawing. This gives them their own space and gives me back my table for meals!

These keep my 11, 5, & 2 year old occupied for hours! Even my husband loves to build with them!
MAGNA-TILES
Markers are no longer allowed in our house unless they are these!!!! Ask me why, I dare you.
Crayola: Mess Free Color Wonder
Snacks, bc schedules don't exist and I'm not cooking a full dinner
My 5 year old and toddler live on Tiffany plates, at this point idk if we can even call them that but she's the queen when it comes to inspo for feeding my picky eaters!
These have been a game changer! Home all day during the summer and all I hear is "mom, I'm hungry!!" Now all I have to say is grab your box!
Snackle Box
My kids are obsessed with drinking out of the can but never finish it. This makes it easier and less dishes 😂

What are we wearing??
Minimal effort, put together, but still comfy
Ever since I saw the tiktok saying polyester is the same frequency as a dead body, I've been adding more cotton and linen to my wardrobe and getting rid of alllllll the rest. Do I know if it's true? No. Do I want to take the chance of wearing clothes...
100% European Linen Shorts
My oldest daughter and I have matching pink Kendra Scott heart necklaces. I don't know what it is, but having a go to necklace makes me feel put together, and I know she cherishes having something that's special for just her and I, especially when it...
Heart Necklaces
The matching earrings really pull it together if I need to feel on top of my game.
Heart Earrings
Hydrate, but make it fun
My kids are obsessed with mocktails and the toddler will drink water allll day if it's in a cute cup 😂
My kids will not drink out of anything metal, they are sensitive to the taste, but we are trying to get away from plastic. These have ceramic coating inside and don't add weird flavors, even to plain water.
Journey Bottle: Leak-Proof & Ceramic Lined - RTIC
I'm obsessed with these. My kids will not drink out of anything metal, they are sensitive to the taste, but we are trying to get away from plastic. These have ceramic coating inside and don't add weird flavors, even to plain water. The colors are gor...

Roadtrip
Being in the car for hours doesn't have to be torture, here's some things that help make it a smooth ride.
Built in leakproof cooler!! Beach trips with cold drinks and snacks, the best. It's also great for keeping anything you need on hand at all times bc kids are unpredictable. Towels? First aid kit? Extra clothes? Spare diapers/wipes? All of it has a pl...
HOTOR Foldable Trunk Organizer for SUVs
Roadtrips somehow always come with trash. Having a designated trash can is a game changer, especially if you deem a kid the trash collector and make it their job to make sure everything goes in it and it's emptied at every stop. Life changing!
Farasla All-in-One Car Trash Can with Removable Bag
Just get one for each child, they will fight over it if not. It's not bulky and doesn't block my vision if they get tired of it like the standard pillows I won't be allowing back on roadtrips unless they're in the trunk for the destination only!
