Valentine’s With Minted

I may be on bed rest, but thankfully, I got all of my Valentine’s decor up beforehand. I absolutely love decorating for Holidays and Valentine’s Day is no different. I even ordered this really pretty custom heart print from Minted. They have a great collection of Valentine’s Artwork that you can customize. They actually would make fantastic gifts or decor pieces. There is still time to order yours, check them out! I wanted a touch of decor for Brooke’s room, so I customized this artwork with pictures of her over the past year. I love how perfect it looks in her room!

I can’t wait to make memories with her and baby KC on Valentine’s day. I have so many fond memories of Valentine’s Day mornings at my parents house. My dad would make me and my mom a special breakfast, we would open gifts and then it was off to school I went to exchange Valentine’s with my classmates.

Do you remember exchanging Valentine’s at school? I totally do. I was always so proud to hand mine out to all of my friends. Last year, Brooke got her first Valentine from a friend at school. I really really wanted to use these cute Classroom Valentine’s Cards from Minted this year, but I did have to pass on those with being stuck in bed. It was just too much to add to my plate when I’m trying to simplify. Maybe next year!

For now, I will enjoy our new custom valentines artwork this year!

  • I went into Aerie to “just look”… and somehow ended up trying on all of THIS. 😂

Comment “SHOP” for the links.

These were the first 5 looks that caught my eye, and honestly… Aerie understood the assignment (part 2 coming soon!). 

From everyday basics to pieces that instantly make you feel a little more put together, there were way too many good finds.

Which look would you actually wear? 👀

I’m wearing XS.

  • Grimaldi’s has been a part of our family memories for years, so getting to experience their Kids Pizza Academy together made this visit extra special. 🍕 

From stretching the dough to choosing our toppings 🧀 and making our own pizzas, it was such a fun way to add another memory to the list.

There’s just something special about the places that become part of your family’s story and @grimaldispizzeria is definitely one of those for us. ❤️

Baseball season (and everyday style) just got a major upgrade. Kev is loving his new fit from Baseball 101. It’s the perfect mix of sporty, comfortable, and seriously cool.

If your kid is into baseball, they’ll love these pieces! Use code MCLARKE for 10% off on your own gear. 🙌

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?

I turned @helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, a pound of ground beef and simple toppings into a Loaded Cheeseburger Bar with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Helper helps you feed your family for less while making it easy to create a delicious, comforting dinner in under 20 minutes. I love that everyone can make it their way and build their own bowl!

  • No gatekeeping here… this is my #1 planner tip for middle school. ✏️📓

I’m teaching my daughter how to actually use a planner this year, and @pilotpenusa FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens are the MUST HAVE. Because assignments, tests, activities and plans are going to change and I don’t want her planner covered in confusing, crossed-out dates. 😂

I also love that she can choose her colors based on her vibe. We’re using ZenFocus for schoolwork and assignments and DreamGlow for goals, creative ideas and the things she’s excited about this year. 💚💙💗💜

Middle school is a big enough adjustment. If I can help her feel a little more organized and prepared going into it, I’m calling that a win.

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️
