home away from home when traveling...

Staying in a new place in a new city when traveling can feel a little off especially when traveling with kids. Today, we're partnering with Embassy Suites by Hilton to share tips on how you can make your hotel room feel like a home away from home for your kids when traveling. Check out this little video below!

Now, we can go about on our adventures for the day and return in the evening to a cozy and prepped bedroom and the kids can get the sleep they need to head into a new day of exploring tomorrow!

A Holiday Party Tree!

Today, I'm sharing a really fun and over-the-top project with you...an Oh Joy Party Tree perfect for the upcoming holidays! Just like seasonal scents, Christmas trees bring the joy of the holidays to life in your home. That’s why I love to fill my home with the scent of Christmas. I’m going to show you how to add more Christmas cheer to your space with my non-traditional take on the Christmas tree. Today, I've partnered with Air Wick to share this DIY inspired by my favorite fragrance from their Spread the Joy Collection, Woodland Pine because of the holiday memories that it instantly brings to my space. Watch our video below to see the full how to!

This year, Air Wick is supporting The Global Fund for Children to help spread the joy to children in need.

homemade mini funnel cakes!

Whenever I return home from vacation, there's always something from the trip that I wish I could recreate at home to make it feel like summer all year round. I’m always inspired by the foods that I enjoy while at certain destinations! So today, inspired by a beach vacation, we partnered with Homewood Suites by Hilton to create a favorite boardwalk snack—funnel cake—and show you how to make your own mini version at home with a festive spin!

a rainy day puppet kit!

Summer vacations are planned to be packed with adventures, but sometimes something unexpected happens… like a rainy day! Weather can certainly get in the way of all the fun you’ve planned with your family. Rather than doting on unexpected weather, though, we partnered with Embassy Suites by Hilton to show you how to make a Puppet Craft Kit to have on hand to save that stormy day. It’s small enough to take with you wherever your destination may be! Watch our video below to see how...
