Fall is here! That means it's time for pumpkin picking, running and jumping through the leaves, all the cozy foods, and Halloween parties! Check out my list for family fun ideas in KC, cozy fall recipes, and essentials you need at your next Halloween party!

I personally love seeing what other people keep in their pantries and fridges at all times, so here's my list of staples! A lot of them you can find anywhere, but a few are local favorites that I highly recommend you look into ordering online. I've also included how I like to use each item which may give you a few ideas as well!

It's cookout time here in the states! Make sure yours goes off without a hitch with my recommendations - from the grill to the condiment table, you'll find whatever you need right here.

If you're like me, you dread summer because you have nothing in your closet. Being a winter girl, my closet is full of cute sweaters, but not so many cute tank tops, work-appropriate clothes, etc. Check out this list so you can find your new summer wardrobe!

Whether you're going on a plane, a road trip, traveling with kids or solo, these are all my favorites for traveling parents, and I don't know what I would do without at this point!

Listen, no one likes cleaning. However, these products (especially the Mrs. Meyer's) will have you feeling so much better when it's done - like you're in a 5-star hotel!

I feel like I've tried every product out there for my weird combination-eczema-ridden skin, and honestly I think these are the best of the best! I find myself repurchasing these all the time and they are definitely my holy grail products.

Target comes through so often when I'm looking for last-minute gift ideas. I've provided a wide range of products with different price points depending on your budget that your mom will absolutely love!

There have been a few years where Mother's Day has crept up on me and I needed a great last-minute gift for my mom. I've bought and recommended all these products myself!

From spicing up your meals to adding a little zing when coating chicken or veggies, you can't go wrong with any of these spices or spice blends!

I'm a certified lover of all things glassware - especially when it's unique. Here are my favorites!

Coffee is a part of my daily life, and each of the items on this list helps me get caffeine in my body that much quicker! And I'm a sucker for a cute cup!

I use all these items on a weekly (if not daily) basis - while everything is very aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching, they're also super practical!

Kansas City isn't just for BBQ - check out these great food stops!

Kansas City is a hub for great coffee, whether that be from a well-known spot such as the Roasterie, or smaller local joints such as Cafe Ollama!

I know cookbooks are not trending as much as online food blogs and videos online, but there's just something about opening up a cookbook to try a new recipe you've never made before. These are my all-time favorites!
