Everything fall related. Home decor, hosting must haves, activities & more. I love things that are dual or multi purpose- like the casserole dish with lid that turns into a serving platter. Cozy shaped pillows add a bit of festive decor yet comfort. Poufs add an extra seating option or a comfy foot rest.

This list is very special to me. Yes, it’s just groceries, but it’s more than that. The following story led to a new family tradition. Let me explain… Last year we had extended family members who struggled with food insecurity. They were embarrassed by it & didn’t tell us until mid summer. We immediately started putting in Walmart grocery orders for them to pick up. When Halloween prepping started we were at Sam's Club looking at candy. Looking around I felt guilty because we were about to buy full size candy bars, while someone near & dear to me couldn’t afford a meal. It hit me like a ton of bricks- how many trick or treaters struggle with food insecurity? Which of our neighbors? What friends? Which kids? I decided then we were going to pass out food & not just candy. We bought the candy bars. The entire way home (hour+) I was thinking what foods work well for trick or treaters? What fits in a pumpkin bucket or bag, is shelf stable, & portable? Below is a compilation of what we did last year, what we plan on doing this year, & things I’m still considering if it would work or not. So this list is primarily Sam’s Club, Walmart, & Aldi. *We were able to afford to do this due to my dad helping us. He won a gift card day before Halloween at a local grand opening of an Aldi. Which he used every bit to help make this a success*

Whether it’s taking a boring game day ‘fit’ to something spectacular or dressing up the house, these will make everyone ask- “Where did you get that?!” *Since I’m a Missouri girl these choices are geared towards KC Chiefs, but other teams are available.

Set yourself up for holiday magic. Home decor, DIY tips, recipes, things to do, & more.

Holiday shopping can be so overwhelming sometimes. Whether it's for kids or adults these are some of my favorite gifts to give to my loved ones.

Everything you need to have an awesome Halloween. From yard decorations to home decor, clothing, & the best treats for passing out candy. A lot of items are from At Home, my favorite home decor store.

Curvy girls & thick chicks gotta look good too... I'm all about high low fashion. Invest in a few good pieces & compliment with lower priced options.

Get that bag!!! Attire for the strong boss woman. A mix of high & low options.

Not your traditional homecoming/ dance styles. For the girls who aren't into the super girly, frilly outfits. More of the edgy, grunge, emo, rocker type of vibes. Many of these pieces can be mixed & matched. My daughter hates dresses & dressing up. These are more her style.

Over the past year & half it seems almost every one of our major appliances has broken, needing either repaired or fixed. These appliances & outdoor lawn care are what we bought or were looking at to replace what wasn't repairable. We've had to replace our lawn mower, microwave, washer & dryer, & now our dishwasher is going out. We've been in our house for over 10 years, so they've been used a lot.

A list of beach safety, accessories & needs to plan & have a great beach vacation. Don't know where to start in packing preparations? Do you want to put together a gift basket for your guests? Swimsuits For All is a great place to get swimwear of all sizes. Check out the list to see what you could add to your beach bags.

Packing musts when traveling. My husband used to tell me I was crazy for taking some of these items on vacation with us. Until they came in handy & now he understands why I pack "weird." Having an extra roll or 2 of toilet paper has saved us a few times. Once while in line for restroom at a rest stop, & holding our toilet paper, a lady tried to rip it out of my hands!!! So don't hesitate to pack your "weird" stuff.

Growing up we only vacationed in CO (lots of family). My brother currently lives there so we visit often. From Estes Park to Colorado Springs, Denver to Greeley, & many other places we have traveled all over Colorado. Been up to see chipmunks on Rainbow Curve, continental divide, Pikes Peak many times. Things to do

My daughter & I both have curly hair. I'm a 2B & she's 3A. The past year she's been trying all sorts of curly hair products to find what works best for her hair. So far these are our favorites. We also try to keep everything as budget friendly as possible. Realistically a really good curly hair routine can become quite expensive. So this collection will have different price points. *Keep in mind every person's hair is different. What works for one may not work for your hair texture & style.*

Who doesn't shop TikTok Shop these days?! The thing I love most about shopping TikTok is the ability to support small creators & their families. This will be a compilation mainly of things I haven’t tried yet & want to TRY. As well as some MUST HAVES that I have used & love. I definitely want to showcase more videos & links from smaller creators but will have a few bigger creators as well... *And full transparency a few links to my own TikTok Showcase.* If you try, or already have tried, or use, any of these let me know your thoughts!!!

This list is focusing more on the ways to dip your toes into making a little extra cash for your family. From yard sales to cash back apps & tools for growing a business. Social media is by far the best tool for a SAHM to make money & grow a business. In addition to social media, websites & apps can help you become a mom-trepreneur from your phone or computer.

We have two 3 year old nieces & one 3 year old nephew. Picky when it comes to food is an understatement. Figured why not make a list of some of their favorite foods & maybe help others struggling to feed their picky toddler munchkins as well. *This list will be primarily Wal-Mart items because everyone has access to a Wal-Mart* And these are foods the toddlers in our family love. And they can be pretty picky at times.

Its so difficult to shop for Tomboy. Here you'll find ideas from clothing & accessories to snacks, & art supplies.

If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.

Yep, I'm one of those who jumped on the organization train. My life is organized chaos. So if organizing your chaos sounds interesting to you, look around & see if there's anything that sparks you to organize your life

I truly believe some toys are investment pieces. Lego, Knex, & Lincoln Logs never go out of style & will last generations. My siblings & I have Legos, Knex, & Lincoln Logs we have passed down to our kids. And now our great niece plays with them too. The main collection stays at our moms house for the grandkids to play with. So far we have 3 generations that have played with those blocks. We've added to the collection over the years & our kids each have their own collections to pass down to their kids.

Find video games, consoles, head sets, controllers, desks, sound proofing, decor, & more. Each console has their own unique games specific to that brand.

My family loves game nights. We're all so competitive. Many of us sarcastic, so it always proves to be a fun time. These are some of our favorites

I'm not very tech savvy but these are some of my favorite items & services in the tech & electronics world.

Sustainable, compostable, biodegradable, & ecofriendly products. I challenge you to switch just 1 or 2 products you use daily, with ecofriendly products. If we all switch just a couple items it makes a big impact.
