The 90’s summer trend has got me remember how much enjoyed my fill of root beer floats as a kid. I can’t eat like it’s the 90’s anymore but @Bloom Nutrition made it easy to get the same nostalgic taste while still feeling good about what’s in my glass. ✨ #bloompop #giftedbybloom

Activities don’t have to be elaborate for kids to enjoy them. I drew simple school themed shapes on cardboard, let my kids color them in, cut them out, and we taped them up together as decor. No fancy supplies. No big production. Just a little creativity and a lot of fun. #simpleactivities #

New toys are great but thrifting got me a whole lot more. I spent weeks searching Facebook Marketplace to build this entire Paw Patrol haul. Instead of buying separate decorations, I made her gift part of the party table. More toys, more value, and the biggest smile on her face when she saw it

My daughter had very specific opinions about how this cake needed to look and I executed her vision with the skill level of a mom who has watched exactly 5 cake decorating tutorials. It’s a little busy. It’s not perfect. She loved it anyway and honestly that’s really all that matters. But a

Found these themed graham crackers at the store and immediately knew I wanted that classic Dunkaroos moment. Cookies and dip and pure nostalgia (especially for the parents). Enter Paw Dip. 🐾 A funfetti marshmallow fluff dip paired with Paw Patrol graham crackers for an easy and most delicio
