RECIPE
6 oz strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
12 Tbsn unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Cups crushed salted pretzels (4 cups whole)
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cool whip
1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced or chopped-your choice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine boiling water and jello until dissolved (do not follow instructions on box) Set aside to cool to room temp
2. Crush pretzels in a sturdy ziplock bag or food processor
3. In a medium saucepan, melt 12 Tbsp butter, then add 1/4 cup sugar and stir. Mix in crushed pretzels. Transfer to a 13×9 glass casserole dish, pressing the pretzel mix evenly over the bottom of the dish, and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F, then cool to room temperature.
4. Using a hand mixer, combine cream cheese, 1/2 c sugar. Then fold in cool whip. Spread over cooled pretzel layer, making sure to seal edges to prevent layers combining later. Set in fridge for 30 minutes.

POV: the viral dot cake trend grew up, paid bills, got overstimulated… and ordered an espresso martini. 🍸✨

This adult twist on the viral dot cake might be my favorite dessert reel yet. Fudgy brownies soaked with espresso martini, fluffy cream cheese frosting, crunchy rainbow nonpareils, and that ASMR sprinkle drop…Absolutely dangerous behavior.

I swear this feels like the perfect crossover between millennial nostalgia and Gen Z dessert chaos and honestly… I support it. 😂

The little spoon crack through the sprinkle topping + the espresso martini soak = elite.

✨SAVE this for your next girls night, birthday party, brunch, or book club.

Sometimes a kitchen doesn’t need a renovation… it just needs the right detail.

I wanted barstools that felt neutral, cozy, and elevated but still practical for everyday life (morning coffee, after-school snacks, and the moments when everyone’s hanging out while you’re cooking. These instantly gave the island that effortless upgrade energy without overpowering the space.

The curved backs + soft texture make them comfortable and aesthetic—which is basically the dream.

You don’t need a designer price tag to get the designer look.

We bought the viral cloud couch… and it rolled out of a BOX looking like this. 🤯 (we gave it a full 48 hours to expand. Pro tip: I used my clothes steamer to take out any wrinkles)

No white glove delivery.
No complicated setup.
No 47-step instruction manual.

Just unroll → expand → instant cozy moment.

A chic, modern sectional that makes the whole room feel styled and when you see 👀 the price…You’re going to want this one.

RECIPE 👩‍🍳
-1/4 C almond flour

Mix almond flour, protein powder and peanut butter into a dough. Roll out 1/2 thick and cut out with whatever shape you like. (I used a 2” heart cutter for this) place hearts on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in freezer for at least 2 hours (I did overnight). Melt your chocolate per instructions.

10 grams of protein for 2 hearts 🤍

Refreshing a space doesn’t have to start with paint… 👀

This little reading nook came together with just a few simple additions — wall bookshelves, a cozy accent chair, his favorite stuffed animal, and books he can grab all by himself 📚

No paint. No wallpaper. No big changes.
Just a soft, calm corner designed for quiet time, independent play, and a little everyday magic ✨

Creating kid spaces doesn’t have to mean a full room makeover. Sometimes the most meaningful spots are the smallest ones — where imagination gets to do most of the work 💫

And because dreams start with “once upon a time…” 🤍🫶

Valentine’s breakfast… but make it balanced ❤️🍓🍩

Spelled out LOVE with fresh fruit and used a heart-shaped Krispy Kreme Doughnuts donut for the “O” — because we’re all about a little sweet and a little wholesome over here 😉

Raspberries, cherries, blueberries + the cutest Valentine donut designs = festive, fun, and done in minutes.

Proof you don’t need a complicated recipe to make holiday magic ✨
Save this for Valentine’s morning 💌

Small pantry problems…but make it luxury storage energy. ✨

I added this sleek cabinet to hold our overflow pantry items and it completely changed the function of our kitchen without sacrificing aesthetics. It looks like high-end furniture, but it’s actually a heavy-duty metal storage cabinet — aka durable, versatile, and secretly a workhorse.

We’re using it for pantry organization now, but this would be just as perfect for garage storage, utility rooms, office organization, or even a styled entryway cabinet. Proof that practical storage can still match a chic, modern home aesthetic.

If you love a good home decor hack that’s equal parts functional and beautiful… this one’s a keeper.

Saving this for every small space storage upgrade in our future. 🙌

Valentine’s Day tradition your toddler will NEVER forget 💌✨

Starting February 1st, we put one paper heart on my child’s door every morning — each with one thing we love about them 💗
“We love how kind you are”
“We love how you share”
“We love how caring you are”

By Valentine’s Day, their door is covered in 14 reasons they are so deeply loved 🥹

It’s such an easy toddler Valentine’s craft, but the impact is HUGE. No fancy supplies, no stress — just connection, confidence, and something sweet for them to wake up to every day 💕

Save this for February ❤️ You’ll love watching their face light up each morning.

Wait until she’s dressed… because an entryway sets the tone for the entire home 🤍

This blank space was a total entryway design opportunity — and turning it into a calm, functional drop zone completely changed how our home feels the second we walk in.

I focused on creating an aesthetic but practical entryway with warm neutrals, soft textures, and pieces that actually work for everyday life. Think organic modern decor, layered tones, and storage that doesn’t scream “I’m just here for the shoes”

Now it’s a space that feels:
✨ welcoming
✨ clutter-free
✨ peaceful
✨ and still family functional

Proof that you don’t need a huge makeover — just intentional styling, smart entryway organization, and cozy neutral decor to make a home feel elevated.
