Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (Board … curated on LTK

These are some of my favorite board books for babies (0-12 months) that I’ve gotten for my nieces/nephews/goddaughter 📚 Board books are great for durability, and since I was also reading them multiple times each day (before and after naps, snacks, etc) the kids also loved to help turn the pages. Some of these books also have sensory pages too 🖤 LTKBump LTKBaby LTKKids

Attention Harry Potter Fans ⚡️ Have you seen this Harry Potter Toddler and Baby Collection?? I snagged this adorable “Waiting for my Hogwarts letter” toddler sweatshirt for my 3 year old goddaughter last week — but there’s a precious Hedwig one, as well as a “Future Wizard” one… my other favorite has to be the navy blue Hogwarts one 🩵 Why there can’t be adult sizes in these is beyond me...

A steam cleaner with no harsh chemicals that uses ONLY water?? I’m obsessed! This steam cleaner uses only hot water to clean every nook and cranny in the home — from grout to floors to showers, ovens, windows, countertops… your home will never be so sparkly ❤️

This steamer uses only filtered water, so no need to buy a special cleaning solution, and you get your home deep cleaned and disinfected without worrying if your cleaner has any cancer causing ingredients. The Neat steamer comes with a bunch of attachments and cloths for a variety of surfaces too ✨

One of my favorite DIY tools (and honestly just general life essential) — these refillable paint touch up pens are so convenient! We fill these paint pens up with each type of paint for our house (walls, baseboard, cabinetry, etc.) and have them on hand if anything chips or gets marked up or scratched so you don’t have to open the paint cans for small fixes 👩🏻‍🎨

#LTKHome #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKKids

I’m so proud of this bedroom design 🩵🤍

It’s the perfect mix of French and feminine for a bedroom… it’s our guest room but if you need design / renovation ideas for a teen girl bedroom, I got you! The bench seat is one of my favorite features, and it doubles as storage for our games for game night.

The bedding I’m also obsessed with. The pillows are so comfy, and the bed is so soft you just sink into it...

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKStyleTip #LTKHome

If you’re looking to make a big impact — a fireplace surround and mantle update / renovation is a must 😬

Our fireplace was originally short and stubby. We extended the wall to the ceiling, then removed the original tile and replaced with our current mantle and fireplace surround. Normally this fireplace would be concrete, but I realized we could instead build it using wood and then spray it using a satin paint finish 🤍🦢

Custom closet on a budget 🛠️✨

These units are from IKEA, I love their closet building tool. The glass fronts are a great thing to spring for on any drawers so it looks a bit more classic/expensive.

I’ve linked a bunch of my favorite closet essentials that I used below!

That time I built a custom pantry from the ground up ❤️

The secret to a custom pantry, whether you build it yourself or hire a contractor, is to sketch out our ideal layout, keeping in mind what you need to store and access.

For us, we needed some storage for our smaller appliances, but I also stored our cookie sheets, larger platters, etc. All of my favorite tools and pantry organization are linked below :)

DIY popcorn ceiling removal —

In our first home we removed ALL of the popcorn ceilings ourselves. Sadly the ceilings didn’t have mudding done when the house was built, but removing popcorn ceilings is actually super easy!

First, make sure you double check the year your home was built and do a test patch to make sure there’s no asbestos. All you need is warm water and a putty knife for the removal… use the below container to drench/spray a section with warm water. Leave it for 30 seconds and then use a flat putty knife to scrape the popcorn ceiling. It should come off in full sheets (no dust). Sand the ceiling of any imperfections as you go, and that’s it!

Need a noise-free toy that keeps the little ones busy? Or want to encourage art, drawing, and painting at a young age? I LOVE this aqua doodle mat that I got my goddaughter! Everything is water based, so there’s no mess or fear of messing up furniture or carpets. You just fill up the little pen 💦❤️

The exact one I got is linked below, but also linking a couple other options!

#LTKBaby #LTKFamily #LTKKids

My husband is a family pastor, and one of the things we love buying for our friends’ little ones are Christian board books. These ones linked we’ve purchased many times — one set has little board books with different stories about Jesus and His life, and the other set has stories from the Bible. These are PERFECT for toddlers! (I’m also linking a couple other recommendations that aren’t board books but would be fantastic for story time at bedtime!

Obsession doesn’t even cover my feelings when I found this adorable dollhouse for my goddaughter! It’s such great quality, you can paint or personalize it, and my favorite part — as a baby, it was used as storage, but as she’s been growing up, she can start playing with it as a doll house 🤍✨

#LTKKids #LTKBaby #LTKFamily

Ok but I needed to test these heatless curls for myself… so I have two feelings overall about this:

- firstly, they do work. I’m not a huge fan sleeping in it, but it’s not that different from putting your hair up another way at night
- second, my preferred way to use them (slightly different from how they’re advertised) is to take a morning shower, wait for it to be 70% dry and then put my hair in it 🎀

#NoMakeup 🖤 I used to suffer from cystic acne and hormonal acne, and I’ve struggled with psoriasis… I had oily skin and combination skin, so I was really sensitive to a lot of products. These are by far the most effective and helpful skincare products I use with minimal ingredients that deliver deep hydration and are primarily fragrance free and clean.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKWedding #LTKBeauty

My hair care routine is basically down to a science at this point 🖤

These are some of the beauty and hair care products that I genuinely can’t live without… that hair towel is just PERFECTION. Obsession doesn’t even cover it. My hair stylist also has me using Redken’s All Soft and then a special deep conditioning hair mask every week. In between showers I use primarily my powder dry shampoos (to avoid cancer causing ingredients).

My hair is so healthy and happy!

Our patio set is seriously one of my favorite backyard finds, especially for the summer. It was such an inexpensive patio set but it’s lasted SO well over the past 3 years. The table is actually metal, though it looks like wood. ⛱️

We have had tea parties, birthday parties, and game nights galore 🤍

Spending the day with my watercolors painting today 🎨

My favorite watercolor paints, palette, paint brushes, and paper are tagged below. Personally, I like to work with cold pressed paper — I just find it works better when I’m painting. All of these art supplies and tools are great for beginners too. 🤍✨

Greenhouse gardening is a quiet love of mine.

As Auntie Jenn / a godmother, I love picking meaningful things out to give as gifts. 📖📚

One of my favorite things is sharing some of my favorite 90s kids books, as well as mixing in some great developmental books, like You Choose.

These are some of the best early childhood books that I’ve purchased ❤️

#LTKKids #LTKBaby #LTKBump

My goddaughter loves her Hugsy — and I’m a huge fan of Friends so this plushie was a no brainer 🖤🐧

#LTKBump #LTKKids #LTKBaby

Of all of the baby nursery / kids bedroom things I’ve bought, this rocking chair swan for my goddaughter is one of my favorites ever 🦢✨

One of my favorite hosting items — our fondue pot! 🔥

This little fondue pot is perfect to take out for a group of friends (it’s also youth group approved), family night, or for a party. You can do a cheese base — our favorite — or a chocolate dessert one.

#LTKFamily #LTKHome #LTKParties

For all of my Broadway and puzzle lovers 🖤

I’ll be honest, I’m usually not a puzzle person, I lack the patience, but this one was so much fun! I think it’s because it was like doing 20 mini puzzles that connected 😁

But whether you need a rainy day activity or game, a gift idea for a loved one, or if you just love doing puzzles on a Tuesday with a cup of tea...

Our homemade vanilla extract is a little over halfway done! 🎉 Making your own vanilla extract is actually a lot easier than you would think — and MUCH cheaper with inflation taking off.

I’ve linked my favorite products that we use, but if you want to make your own vanilla extract, here’s some tips we have picked up:

- Get really good vanilla beans! The quality matters in the vanilla beans, not the alcohol
- Keep it in a cool dark place and “turn it” (so flip it 360 degrees) every week, or every other to help it infuse even more
- Give it at least 5 months, but up to a year is even better
