I love a bunch of small gifts! Give me a basket to fill any day. I've shared a bunch of Easter gift guides (here, here, and here) and am focusing on my kids' ages/genders this time around. Dax is 10, Nadia is 13, and Genevieve is 15. I combed through pages of sites' suggestions so you don't have to! And of course I added in some things we have and love. Let's go!

Easter Basket Filler Ideas for Big Kids/Boys

Let It Glow Facemask $5 Never enough face masks for these teens with near perfect skin. ;) This one comes in a lot of varieties.

Cross Necklace $48 Genevieve loves a cross necklace. This one is 14K gold plated.

Jelly Cat Plush Bag Charm. $26 A little pricey for my blood but we love the jelly cat charms/key chains. How cute is this one?!

Striped Stanley $35 How adorable is this new release?! Go ahead and add it to her collection. It also comes in blue, green, and pink. 

Cashmere Body Butter $12 My girls are really into EOS brand right now and this whipped butter will be perfect for after the (soon to come) hours out in the sun.

Body Scrub $8 Let's give Tree Hut scrubs some competition shall we? The girls love body scrubs AND crumbl cookies- a match made in heaven.

Foot Mask $4 Again, prepping for summer with this foot mask. Your teen will love its cute pattern.

Aesthetic Stanley Straw Cover $5 That time someone shared a bug crawling out of their Stanley straw. This is basically a necessity if they don't already have one. The pastel colors will look so cute in an Easter basket!

e.l.f. Moisturizing Drops $12 Love a dewy product- this one is on Nadia's list. Bonus- the price is nice.

Starbucks Gift Card $15 Get them a drink on you! (or if you're local, a SodaBox gift card is a good option too!).

Ruffle Socks $11 How cute are these socks? Whenever I buy a gift with multiple pieces, I'll split it between the kids' baskets. Life hack.

Touchland Body & Hair Fragrance $20 Touchland now has body spray (which TBH makes more sense to me. ha).

Scalloped Reading Light $17 I  have this book light- it's super cute and would be perfect for your reader.

Blink Card Game $8 Nadia played this game with a friend recently and insisted I included it. It's fun and fast paced.

Kendra Scott Ring (at Target!) $30 I got Genevieve the heart version of this ring and she loves it. This one is so pretty. 

Pink Portable Charger $27 So that they'll stop stealing yours...

Adult Coloring Markers and Scripture Coloring Book $13 and $12. There's nothing that makes me happier than the kids coloring at their current ages (you think it's cute when they're little...just wait!). It's such a calming activity. This is a sweet coloring book with scripture and the markers are well reviewed (these come in a pretty container and I love these too!).

Last year the girls and I wore Walmart Fashion for the 4th of July but by the time I shared, it was nearly all sold out. I learned my lesson and am sharing early this year. And it's a good thing because it's ALL SO GOOD. I know I'm yelling but I can't believe the style and quality for the price! I've really been digging the Scoop and Free Assembly line but the Time & Tru shorts set is the literal cutest and I want it in every color! Here are my picks for Memorial day and/or the 4th of July. Oh and if you're a Walmart+ member, these items ship SO quickly. I'd love to know, which look is your fave?

What I Put in My Kids' Easter Baskets

1. Something tactile like these wooden balance blocks! I thought Dax might be too old for these when I bough them last year but he loves them! And bonus, they're adorable.

2. Bunny Lip Gloss. I love gifting consumables. And the girls love cosmetics. Win/win.

3. Bunny Facial Mist. This is on its way to  me- Genevieve (12) will love it! 

4. A spiritual book/devotional like this prayer journal. Jesus is the reason y'all. This is the latest I bought for my 12 year old. This one makes me tear up (for kids toddlers through about 6).

5. Swimwear- I adore this simple pink one piece. Filed under woulda-bought-it-anyway, but in the best way. It's the only item on the list over $25 but I also love this for an under $25 option!

6. Plus Plus- Filed under something tactile, these are a staple over here. The basic colors come in a blue.

Our sad little guest bath got a face lift just in time for guests! When I showed it to you last week, it looked like this:

I'm often asked for a link to what I'm wearing and more often than I can count, it's an item from Walmart Fashion. They have such pretty styles and the quality- particularly of their Free Assembly and Time and Tru lines- is also of note! Let me be frank with you- I initially planned to share just one look but there were so many fun items that I could wear this Holiday season that 'one' ended up being four. Thankfully Walmart fashion is easy on the wallet! But let's get to it- Here's what to wear this holiday season along with styling tips and sizing notes! And make sure to check out all my picks at the end!

You've heard me lament the process of meal planning and grocery shopping more than once, in stories. Well, I finally sat down and brainstormed ways to make the process easier- especially during this busy holiday season. And everything came up "have your groceries delivered." ha! I've been using Walmart Grocery Pick up for over a year but stopped short of paying for delivery each time. Now that they've introduced Walmart+, with one membership fee for the year, I can have my groceries delivered plus other benefits I'll share in a bit. But it's not just about groceries- although that's a BIG one. There are other ways I use it to mark things off my to-do list. Here are the little conveniences that add up with Walmart +:

I've shared a few round-ups from Wayfair's Early Access Black Friday Sale over on Like-to-Know-it but figured I'd share here too. The sale includes a variety of categories, but since I've been on the hunt for bedding I decided to feed two birds with one scone and peruse that one! There are so many great bedding items that it was hard to narrow it down but I did the best I could. ;) I included some basics like a cozy throw, a down insert, and a mattress topper but focused on gorgeous quilts, comforters, and duvets, mostly. If you're readying your home for guests, comfy, cozy, and good-looking bedding is a must. You should know that prices are up to 80% off and shipping is FREE over $35! Now, take a look at these and tell me which is your favorite?!

Ever since I DIY’d this art ledge I’ve been looking forward to swapping out the art for seasonal prints. Halloween is the perfect time to change it up and surprise my kids who are always begging for more Halloween decor! When Command Brand approached me to share their Command Adjustable Clips and Hooks, I knew this product would be perfect for what I had in mind. This inexpensive and quick Halloween decor makes a big impact. If you don't have an art ledge, a gallery wall would be fun too. You could even hang framed prints with Command Picture Hanging Strips! Here's what you need:

 

Holidays that encourage us to open our homes to one another are my kind of holidays. Halloween is a great opportunity to introduce yourself to your neighbors or get to know them a bit better. If we're being honest, sometimes we just need an excuse! One way to ‘treat’ your neighbors this fall is with a neighborly boo basket! If you’re not familiar, a boo basket is a fun Halloween tradition where you secretly leave a basket full of goodies on your neighbor’s porch. Then they pay it forward. Intrigued? Good! I’ve spelled out everything you need to put one together! Here's how to make a fun Boo Basket...

When I shared the kids' Easter baskets on Instagram stories last year, I got lots of questions about what I put in them. I try to avoid candy and cheaply made toys that they will tire of or break within a few uses, yet, still keep it affordable. So I thought I'd whip up a quick post with some fun, budget-friendly Easter basket filler ideas! Side note: If an item isn't pictured or doesn't have a source, I usually get it from the Dollar Tree or Spot's Playground. But most items are linked below along with additional options in the "shop this post" widget at the end of the post and an image to pin if you want to come back to it later! Enjoy!
