April 26th is National Pretzel Day! When I saw thi April 26th is National Pretzel Day! When I saw this giant pretzel at Costco, I was reminded of Top Golf’s charcuterie pretzel and had to make one happen for myself… … and it was delish!!! 🥨

We had an annual tradition for years, years ago, t We had an annual tradition for years, years ago, to do an annual Good Friday camp out on the creek with family. We let excuses, young kids, and various other things keep us from doing these for several years, but I’m happy to report that we are BACK, baby! Good Friday camp out 2025 was a blast and is in the books. Already psyched for 2026! 🥳
I pulled Lil out of school at lunch one day recent I pulled Lil out of school at lunch one day recently and we had the SWEETEST mama + daughter lunch at @cw_organics_ms in Ridgeland! We ordered tea for two and easily made a meal off of it. We both LOVED the strawberry white tea and all of the beautiful finger foods! CW Organics Apothecarie & Tea Room is a picturesque little gem hidden in the heart of Ridgeland, Mississippi. They make everything from scratch and is run by my precious friend Caroline Warner (CW herself!). Lily Ryan and I are so thankful for this fun experience that we will 100% repeat in the very near future! 🥰 Have you been to CW?!
I’m beyond excited to get the opportunity to sha I’m beyond excited to get the opportunity to share about one of my FAVORITE local brands: @acocandleco! Comment CANDLES to get a direct link to their website to learn all about them! I’ve been a fan of Aco for a couple of years now because they have just the most lovely scents and the packaging is so nice and clean, but just recently some sweet friends bought the company and are taking it to the next level and now I love it EVEN MORE!! With nurses week and teachers week being the same week - that first full week in May - which leads right into Mother’s Day… Aco is offering a tiered discount on the mini candles you see here! THE PERFECT GIFTS! 🥰 When you buy three minis, you save 10%. When you buy four, you save 15%. When you buy five or more, you save 20%!! So load that cart on up at acocandleco.com! You can use LAUREL10 to save 10% on any items that aren’t currently discounted on their site, so if you want to gift something else, like maybe a diffuser, you can still save! Remember, comment CANDLES to get a direct link to Aco’s site! Oh! And if you need a scent recommendation, It Is Well and Dawn Glow are two of my current faves! 🥰

One of my favorite things that came out of Covid E One of my favorite things that came out of Covid Easter back in 2020 was our family’s introduction to resurrection rolls! They are easy and delicious and paint such a sweet picture! As the rolls bake, the marshmallows disappear leaving an empty roll! An easy conversation starter for littles! Happy Easter, my friends ☀️🫶

After school snack times with the kiddos are some After school snack times with the kiddos are some of my favorite little moments every week… Reconnecting with my babies over nutritious snacks and conversation really brings joy to my soul and hopefully to theirs too! Those daily recaps over some healthy or fun or new food… just cannot be beat! It’s the honest, small moments like this that add up to lifetimes of love and growth and security and strength. Grateful for times like this!! 🥰 #stayjuiced #ad #sponsored
