Happy Monday! Need a fun dessert idea for your kids’ lunch box? Check out how to make these fruit leather fortune cookies.
This video was filmed in my kitchen with AOL & The Cut Company. Idea inspired by the super talented Corey at Family Fresh Meals. I’m am not crafty. If I can do this you can, too, and probably better.
Oh hey, Lilly. What’s up?
My little school days girl. Do you SEE those little fox face flats from Old Navy on Lilly’s feet?! They’re her current favorite (Lilly has a lot of favorites…).
And that perfectly sized back pack she’s wearing is from my friend’s company, Babiators. Have you heard of them? My kids wear their sunglasses all the time. Now they make back packs! Perfectly sized back packs!! YES!
So Lilly is really a leggings kind of girl. Nearly every day she picks them out. Even under dresses. I can’t blame her, they are super soft. So I love this simple Old Navy chambray tunic because it pairs perfectly with leggings and jeans.
That little Old Navy leopard sweater is cuteness tied around her shoulders! And oh hey happy 20th birthday to Old Navy! You probably want to go check out their celebration sale.

Okay, I realize that it’s impossible to only buy pretty wooden and neutral colored toys for kids. I mean, that would be boring. But when I can get away with it I like to sneak them in! OKL just launched a gorgeous sale collection of some cool toys that are NOT hard on the eyes!

Good time to start your holiday shopping early with these fun toys that are on sale! Check out all the cool things they have here. How fun would that glowing teepee be?!
I’m so excited to share the first installment of “Holidays with Perri Poppins”. Perri Stilp is Charleston’s favorite kid’s camp counselor and creative genius. My children adore her. She has a location right on Pitt Street in the Old Village, a charming and historic neighborhood that is one of Charleston’s most prized hidden gems (Oh hey The Notebook was filmed there). Perri spends her days activating the imaginations of children and having fun. So she was a no brainer to tap for halloween diy costume ideas. I let her take control of this project, so I’ll turn it over to Perri.
OWL:
This handmade owl costume is simple and cozy, letting even your little ones take part in the Halloween fun.
Materials needed: felt, brown long sleeve shirt and pants, old glasses, boas, feathers.
For the body:
Step 1: Use a hot glue gun to attach the boas. Start gluing on the back and bring them up and over to the front.
Owl Glasses:
Step 1: Using an old pair of glasses, take out the lens.
Step 2: Decorate the sides with feathers.
CARMEN MIRANDA:
This Carmen Miranda costume idea comes from Oh Happy Day and is really easy to make from items you can find at a thrift store. I made the headdress using plastic fruit that I hot glued directly to the red turban.
For the headdress:
Step 1: Use a hot glue gun to attach the larger pieces of plastic fruit to the turban in the shape of a tower. Let dry.
Step 2: If you’d like your headdress to be a little more eclectic, use hot glue to top the fruit tower with food picks, drink umbrellas, plastic fruit candy, & fake flowers.
Materials needed: peasant blouse, tropical pants, turban, fruit candy necklace.

DRUMMER BOY:
This drummer boy costume is an easy one to put together last minute.
Materials needed: white t-shirt, leggings, tall hat, old buttons, and toy drum.
THE SNAIL:
For this snail costume, modeled off of Oh Happy Day’s Homemade Halloween guide, you will need kraft paper to make the shell. Your little one will wear it like a backpack. Very simple to make, just don’t leave a trail of slime on the stroll around the neighborhood for candy.
Materials needed: kraft paper, cardboard, ribbon, headband, pom poms, pipe cleaners.
For the shell:
Step 1: Crumple and wrinkle up the kraft paper.
Step 2: Begin rolling then start to twist it into a shell shape.
Step 3. Glue it all together.
Step 4. Repeat all the above steps (will need 2 shells).
Step 5. Glue both together and mount to cardboard.

Darling, yes? I love that simple snail costume! Thank you so much to Perri for putting these fun ideas together for us. Check out her site (or her instagram) for more creative kid cuteness!

Good morning! Today I have another video to share that is all about breakfast (or a snack). I’m making some easy toast recipes to switch up your morning routine. Let me know what you think!
I’m definitely a little nervous and goofy in this video, but oh well. Also, I cut the grapefruit wrong. GAH. We only had one so I had to roll with it. Too bad they cut that part out of the video b/c it was hilarious.
This video was made together with AOL and Charleston Cut Company!
Lilly’s easing into fall with some new Old Navy things. Little steps. I think I’ll love this sweater best with skinny jeans, but Lilly prefers it paired with the black circle skirt. Both cute.
And oh hey, this is my house. I know some of you have been curious.

Aren’t those little leopard loafers cute? And check out this little skirt! I think Lilly needs it. It’s freaking COOL!!
