  • Mom hack I wish I knew sooner 🙃

I can’t tell you how many plates we’ve gone through over the years… and I finally made the switch to @ahimsahomeusa stainless steel sets and haven’t looked back.

No Stains. No breaking. No replacing. So much easier.

If you’ve been thinking about it — this is your sign 👀

COMMENT “shop” for the link.

+Use promo EARTH25 for 25% off the Signature Collection.

  • 🍎✨Teacher gift idea that’s actually CUTE and useful!!

If you’re looking for a simple but thoughtful Teacher Appreciation gift… this apple snack box box is EVERYTHING 😍🍏

Fill it with their favorite goodies + a few classroom essentials and you’ve got a gift they’ll truly love (and use!!)

Save this for later because teacher appreciation week will sneak up on you 👀

COMMENT “shop” and I’ll send you all the links to recreate this 🍎✨

  • #BISSELLPartner I really thought my floors were clean… until I turned this on 😳

The headlights showed EVERYTHING—dust, crumbs, all the stuff you don’t normally see—and honestly, I don’t have time to go over the same spot again and again, so this is a lifesaver.

Lately, I’ve been using the BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush™ and what I love most is that it handles real-life messes in ONE PASS.

From breakfast crumbs on hardwood to dirt in the entryway to debris in rugs, it just moves right through it. The dual brush rolls grab both big and small messes, and the AutoAdapt technology automatically boosts suction when it hits dirtier areas, so you’re not doing extra work.

& The FurFinder™ Upholstery Tool targets stubborn, pet hair and removes it so well! 

✨COMMENT “shop” for the link ✨ It’s also $100 off right now ($359.99 → $259.99) from 4/5–5/30! Do yourself a favor, add this to your cart!

  • 🍒🎀 We had Brooke’s CHEERY sweet Birthday party last night and it was so adorable!

She just really wanted a chill night at home with her friends doing nails 💅🏻 , getting hair tinsel 💁🏼‍♀️, eating pizza 🍕 (& sweets 🍭) and watching girl movies 🎥.

It was a fun, sweet night and their matching PJs were the cherry on top 🍒

P.S. I’ll share more cake details and goodie bag details this week!
