Spring reset with @raw_generation_juices 🍊🥕🍏

Now is the perfect time for a juice cleanse to feel lighter and have more energy! I’m currently on day 2 of my 5 day juice cleanse with Raw Generation. I love that this cleanse includes cold pressed juices and plant-based smoothies. I’m a busy homeschool mom of two so having the protein smoothies really gives me that boost of energy that I need. Initially, I thought I would get hungry through out the day, but I haven’t! I drink 3 cold-pressed juices and 3 plant-based smoothies per day. So far I’ve lost a couple pounds but most importantly, my body feels refreshed! 

Summer is right around the corner so check out Raw Generation! There are a couple options to choose from the Skinny Clean, Low Sugar* Detox, and the Protein Cleanse. I’ve linked on my @shop.ltk

The weather has been beautiful so that means more family adventures visiting new parks, tennis courts, and nature trails! The Ninja FrostVault Cooler has been a game changer for our outdoor trips! My kids are always asking for snacks and drinks during family outings. The top of the cooler stores cold beverages on ice and there’s a separate bottom compartment perfect for snacks, fruits, and sandwiches. I also love that this cooler has wheels making it so easy to move around! 

Do you have any outdoor trips planned with your family/friends? The Ninja coolers are now available at @Target! I’ve linked everything on my @shop.LTK. #NinjaCooler #TargetPartner #Target @ninjakitchen #liketkit https://liketk.it/5bkgk

Spring Break Fun🌊🌸☀️ We extended our sp Spring Break Fun🌊🌸☀️

We extended our spring break with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge! At the last minute we decided to surprise the kids with a quick trip to their favorite indoor/outdoor water park. Seeing the kids smiles and laughs is my favorite. A highlight of our trip is being able to all get on the big water slide together. God blessed me with the sweetest kids and the best husband. I cherish these family trips so much.

Let’s refresh my daughter’s nail collection! @ellamila has a variety of non-toxic nail polish and nail care products. I love the pretty spring pastel colors and the polish is fast drying!  I’ve been teaching my daughter the importance of taking care of her natural nails. So the Ella + Milla nail care products have been great with adding to a weekly nail care routine. Colors used: Dream and Wings of Dawn with the gel top coat. I finished the manicure with the Lavender cutical oil!

Simple Holiday Crafts with Cricut

Thank you to Cricut for sponsoring this post. As always, all views and recommendations are 100% my own.

  • Before
  • After Using my Cricut

The holiday season is here! Some of my favorite memories growing up was doing holiday crafts with my mom! I’m so excited that I am continuing the holiday craft tradition with my family. I love using my Cricut Explore 3 to make simple holiday crafts with my kids. A Cricut is a cutting machine that can cut designs from materials like paper, vinyl, card stocks, and iron on transfers. Using my Cricut has made designing so simple and fun! During the holiday and winter season I love having a list of go-to crafts that I can do with my kids. With my Cricut, the craft ideas are endless which means I can create so many memories with my kids. Here are simple holiday crafts with Cricut. 


Christmas Cups

During the winter months I love sipping on coffee and/or hot chocolate. I bought this reusable plastic coffee cup from Micheals. Then I used my Cricut Explore 3 and designed a fun holiday picture in the Cricut Design space. If you want your kids to join in on the fun you can easily have them help you pick out a fun holiday design for their own cup. You can also personalize the cup by adding your child’s name!

Clear Ornaments

I absolutely love clear plastic ornaments for my kids. My kids both have small Christmas trees in their room so they love having personalized ornaments. I used my Cricut to design the ornaments! I added a Christmas tree on one side and the words snow day on the other side of the ornament. Then I allowed my kids to add some fake snow and glitter for the inside of the ornament! 

Snowflake Ornaments

The first snow day is aways so exciting for my family. My daughter helped paint the snowflake ornament and then I added the snow day word design in gold. Also, adding the year with a Cricut is a great idea 

Cloche Holiday Scene 

You may or may not know what a cloche is, but it has a dome shaped top that’s usually clear and a bottom. I love using these to add a holiday scene inside. This is a great way to add personalized home decor throughout your home during the holidays. I had my daughter paint a little holiday themed house and she added fake snow inside. Then I added my Cricut design on the cloche to match the decor colors in my home for the holidays.
