Hair tools that actually work to save time and your hair

Home finds that change the game for me & our home organization

Looking for a little holiday inspiration? These are the things I'm personally hoping Santa brings this year – practical favorites, everyday upgrades, and a few cozy splurges that make life as a homeschooling, work-from-home, mom-on-the-go feel a little easier (and a lot more fun). If you're building your own list or shopping for someone who loves comfort organization, and a touch of aesthetic, you'll find something perfect here.

A few of the toys my daycare kids are absolutely obsessed with! These are the ones that keep them engaged, sharing, and actually playing together. From sensory toys to building sets, these favorites survive daily use and still spark tons of creativity and giggles.

These are our favorite nature tools for curious kids who love exploring the outdoors. They're hands-on, screen-free, and perfect for ages 8-12 who want to dig deeper into what they see outside – bugs, rock, tracks, plants, and everything in between. Each tool encourages confidence, independence, and real-world learning, whether we're on a hike, doing homeschool nature study, or just playing in the backyard. This is the gear that makes exploring feel exciting, intentional, and totally magical for kids.

These are my go-to beauty staples: hydrating, effortless, and mom-life approved. If it’s on this list, it means I’ve used it, loved it, and would repurchase it.
