4. GIRL’S SHIRT

That wraps up my recent Amazon buys! Comment below what your favorite Amazon finds are!
I can’t believe it’s officially fall! It’s still 80 degrees in northern Utah but I’ve been stocking up on my favorite staples for fall. I found a bunch of items from Walmart that I thought I’d share with you guys! I love that I can find great basics from Walmart that don’t break the bank, are great quality, and that I know won’t go out of style.
Everyone needs a pair of black leggings for fall! I love that you can dress them up or down. I paired these $13 black leggings with this graphic long sleeve tee and I love how it looks!
: DENIM JACKET
Another staple I found from Walmart is this denim jacket! I love that it’s a darker wash and has subtle distressing. I love pairing them with leggings, dresses, jeans, and more! This denim jacket is a versatile staple that everyone needs in their closet. I’ll link a lighter wash denim jacket here.
Today on the blog I wanted to share one of our recently favorite recipes! I made this fried ice cream last minute for Hunter’s soccer team and it was so easy. I had to serve over 50 people, so I ordered all the ingredients from Walmart so I could stay on budget + you all know how much I love my groceries delivered right to my door!
FRIED ICE CREAM RECIPE
: INGREDIENTS
For this recipe you only need 5 ingredients! I use all Great Value ingredients from Walmart. Using Great Value ingredients from Walmart not only helps me save money but also offers the highest quality!
1 cube melted butter
1/2 cup coconut flakes
2/3 cup of brown sugar
2 1/2 cup of rice crisps
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream
: INSTRUCTIONS
First mix together the 1 cube melted butter, 1/2 cup of coconut flakes, and 2/3 cup of brown sugar in a large bowl. Then add the 2 1/2 cup of rice crisps into the bowl. Then, spread this mixture on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 for 20 minutes. Make sure you turn/stir it every 5 minutes.
Now, put 1/2 of this crispy mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan and then spread 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream over it. Then put the other half of the crispy mixture on top of the ice cream. After this is done, put it in the freezer until ready to serve.
[I would definitely recommend doubling this recipe]
: SERVING
For Hunter’s soccer team, I served the fried ice cream in individual scoops using paper ice cream cups and plastic spoons. I also brought caramel and chocolate syrup from Walmart that they could use as toppings. It’s seriously so yummy with caramel sauce on top!
. . .
I hope you all love this recipe as much as my family does! With the holidays coming, and having to cook and bake for big groups, Walmart is my go-to place where I feel like I can buy the private brands like Great Value and not feel like I’m trading down value.
When I think about Fall, a few things always come to mind. Cozy sweaters, pumpkin patches, and for a lot of us- family pictures! Family pictures are so special to have, but I think just about everyone can agree that family pictures bring out allll the emotions. Whether it’s the stress of outfit planning, the toddler (or husband) tantrum, or even feeling a little sentimental, they are full of emotions and can be a challenge. So today I’ve put together a list of my biggest tips to hopefully help your family pictures go a little smoother PLUS I’m sharing some outfit ideas for everyone in the family to help take some stress off of you!
If I could shout this one from the rooftops I would! It is so so important. By picking your own outfit first, you will guarantee that you feel confident + comfortable. When you feel good about yourself you’ll love your pictures more!! Trust me on this one.
If I’m being honest, all of our last-minute pictures where I’ve had to throw random outfits together that necessarily don’t match perfectly always end up the best. Figure out a main color palette, and then focus more on everyone being comfortable instead!
Timing can be the difference between smooth sailing and a total melt down! Try to do a time when you know your baby or toddler will be happy. Like right after nap time or dinner. I think this helps the mom’s stress level a million times. Also, make sure your people are all fed and not hungry because that makes a huge difference with their moods.
: GET THE MONEY SHOT FIRST
If there is a shot you have in mind that you have to have, do it very first. Usually for us, it’s the full family shot. Get the must haves out of the way in the first 5 minutes. You never know when someone is going to lose it so be sure you take the pictures you want first!
: BRIBERY WORKS
I see absolutely nothing wrong with bribes for family pictures!! I usually have skittles or goldfish for the kids in Joe’s pocket and will pop one in the kids mouth here and there when they are listening. AND, tell your kids they can get a reward like ice cream or a night at the park if they will listen to the photographer without a fuss. It always helps and we really go and do it afterwards, because who doesn’t need ice-cream after all of this craziness?!
: DON’T FORGET ABOUT CANDIDS
A lot of our stress comes from getting that perfect shot and how they will turn out. But the more family pictures I’ve done, the more I realize my favorite pictures are always the unplanned candid shots. Let them have fun and let loose yourself too! The little personality quirks they have are what you always want to remember anyway. Natural happiness is always going to be the images you end up wanting to blow up huge!
. . .
Now let’s talk outfits!! Picking family picture outfits can be SO stressful and is probably the thing we dread most about them! I’ve rounded up some of my favorites for the whole family below!
. . . WOMEN FAMILY PICTURE IDEAS . . .
. . . MEN FAMILY PICTURE IDEAS . . .
. . . TEEN GIRL FAMILY PICTURE IDEAS . . .
. . . LITTLE + BIG BOY FAMILY PICTURE IDEAS . . .

Hopefully these tips and tricks are helpful when your family pictures roll around! Just be your natural self, try to roll with the punches, and I promise the moments you want to pull your hair out will probably turn into your favorite raw real pictures!!
We’ve been homeschooling Hayden and Hudson for 3 weeks now, so I wanted to share an update about how we are all feeling about it so far! I totally felt crazy when school started. We were dealing with selling our house, moving into the rental, and had a lot going on. But, a ton of people reached out to me and just encouraged me to stick with it. One lady told me that homeschooling is like having a newborn baby, and that is seriously the greatest analogy! You’re so excited for your newborn but then when you’re up with it all night, you’re kind of like “crap, what do we do?”. There have definitely been moments where I don’t know what I’m doing or even why I’m doing this, but then I’m always reminded throughout the day of the blissfulness of homeschool.
OUR HOMESCHOOL UPDATE
: OUR SCHEDULE
Both Hudson and Hayden wake up around 7:45. While I am taking the younger kids to school, Hayden starts her Savvy reading at 8:00, then she hops on Prodigy at 8:30. When Hudson wakes up, he goes downstairs to work out and then gets his keyboarding/typing lesson done. When I get home at 9:00, Hayden, Hudson, and I will just chat. We’ll also do a history lesson if we need to. Joe had 2 random days off of work, so I had him teach history which was such a relief to have a break. Then at 10:00, I usually have work meetings, so Hayden’s teacher comes Monday-Thursday from 10:00-11:30 and teaches her the core subjects… english, math, science, and language arts. It has been a huge relief for me that I don’t have to teach her the core stuff. She’s really into fashion design, so I talk to her about that. While Hayden is with her teacher, Hudson is doing reading, writing, and guitar in his room. Then I take Hudson to school at 11:30. He goes to lunch at school and also takes 3 core classes there too. I pick up Harper form school after dropping Hudson off. When we get home, me, Hayden, and Harper all make and eat lunch together! That has been such a great advantage of homeschooling for Hayden… getting to eat whatever she wants! She’s been creative with making herself meals, smoothies, etc. After lunch, I help Harper with her homework while Hayden does her times tables and finishes her homework from her teacher.
Hayden’s teacher only comes Monday-Thursday and her Savvy reading is also only Monday-Thursday, so Friday’s are usually pretty laid back. We usually just snuggle and read together in the mornings and then we’re done. So we both love Friday’s!
So that’s our homeschool daily routine. It has been so nice because after homeschool, Hayden is free to go play and go to gymnastics. It was always a huge battle with Hayden when she would get home from public school because she would be tired and ornery, but still have to do her reading, spelling, and homework. So it’s such a relief that we don’t have to deal with that anymore.
We are using The Good and The Beautiful program to teach history. I bought the book and I just read out of it for the lessons. There is no preparation for the lessons and the kids have audibles that they can listen to too. You can also go to their website and print out the worksheets that go with the lesson. So far, the program has worked great. It has focused a lot about God and the bible, but I love that I can tweak it and teach whatever I want while integrating it with our religion.
: HOW HUDSON + HAYDEN FEEL ABOUT HOMESCHOOL
Hudson is enjoying his half/half schedule. He still gets to see his friends and go to lunch, so he’s been fine with everything. He has talked about switching his schedule for the second half of the year and going to public school in the mornings and coming home in the afternoons so he can have time to go skiing. Hayden is still getting used to homeschool. She comes with me when I pick up the younger kids from school, and so she’ll hop out and say hi to her friends. She sometimes mentions that she wants to go back to school. Nothing is set in stone, so we’re keeping an open mind. We are trying out homeschooling until October, and then we will reevaluate. We are still getting into the groove of homeschooling.
: SOME HOMESCHOOL SUPPLY FAVORITES
. . .
I am obviously still trying to get settled into this homeschooling thing! But I’m being very gentle with myself and not expecting a ton. Along with homeschooling, I also run 2 businesses so I am just doing what I can. I’m still trying to get used to this, so please share with me all your homeschooling tips! I know many of you have been interested in our homeschooling journey, so I hope you enjoyed this update!
August was a crazy month for our family! We fully moved into our rental, the kids started school, and we tried to squeeze in a few last summer activities! Because we were getting settled into the rental, I shared with you guys some of my favorite home finds for the rental. And I’m glad you guys love them as much as I do!

Fanny packs have been a popular trend this whole summer! They are the perfect size, hands free, and look good with any outfit!

I got so many questions about this jumpsuit when I posted wearing it! I’ve had it for years and seriously love it. This pink color is currently out of stock, but there are other fun options. This jumpsuit is so versatile, and can be worn during any season.
I am so glad I decided to purchase this oval wedding ring from Amazon. It looks so real and you’re not going to believe me when I tell you that it’s only $51.99! I love wearing this ring when I’m traveling, running errands, out by the pool, etc. It’s such a good option if you don’t always want to wear your actual wedding ring or worried you might lose it!
This sweater set from Free People has been a top seller the past few years and it does not surprise me! I seriously have this set in 3 different colors, I’m that obsessed with it.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been living in dresses all summer so I wanted to share my favorites that are under $50! The great thing about all these dresses is that they are so versatile. They can be dressed up or down and all of them will pair so well with boots and cardigans for fall! When it comes to finding good quality dresses at an affordable price, Amazon is the place!
I quickly fell in love with this mermaid dress from Amazon! I absolutely love the square neck and puff sleeve duo. And not to mention that this dress is so flattering! This dress is perfect for any event, and is the perfect dress to wear as we transition into fall/cooler weather. I’m wearing a small, so it does run true to size. It comes in four other colors and is under $45!
Another favorite dress of mine is this flowy polka dot dress! I pretty much wear this year round! You can dress it up or down, and I think pairing these white boots with it would be so cute for fall! I absolutely love the sleeve detail and I think the length is perfect. It comes in 22 other colors/patterns and are under $31! Wearing a small!
I think this square neck dress speaks for itself! I mean look how gorgeous it is…the pattern detailing, the smocking, the length, the sleeves, everything. Not much else you can ask for! AND it’s only $30.99! This dress has the prettiest color options for fall so be sure to check it out. Wearing a size small.
Everyone needs a black dress in their closet because it makes the perfect staple! When I found this black puff sleeve dress for under $35, I knew I needed to try it out! I seriously love it.

As the weather starts to cool down these next few weeks, there is no better time to invest in a pair of fall boots than now! I love boots because they are so versatile. They pair so perfectly with a dress or a sweater and jeans. Seeing all the new boots is making me so excited for the season to change, and that is crazy talk from someone who loves summer! Haha! Scroll down to see my new finds for under $40 as well as my favorite boots from last year!
Okay how fun are those boots?! All of these boots come in multiple colors, so there are tons of options. I’m really loving the cognac platform boots, they would pair perfectly with any dress! I love the heel on them too! I’ve always been a fan of western boots, but they can be pricey. So when I found this Target option, I was so excited! They are the perfect height, just right above the ankle. All of these boots are great options for fall and you seriously can’t beat the prices.
These boots were my favorite last year! So excited to pull them back out this fall! They run true to size and add the perfect touch to any outfit. I absolutely love the detailing on the tip too.

I seriously love these boots! Can you tell I’m obsessed with the western styled boots? It doesn’t surprise me that they are popular again this year. These boots are such good quality and run true to size! Multiple color options too. They are quite the splurge, but they are worth every penny!
The boots pictured are from Nordstrom, but they only have the black color in stock. So I went on the hunt to find similar boots at a better price! I found these almost identical boots on Amazon for under $50! They match anything and I love that these boots have a lower heel. Everybody needs a pair of cognac ankle boots for fall, so this would be a great choice!
. . .
I don’t know about you guys, but this post is making me so excited for fall fashion! Hope everyone was able to find a pair of boots they love!
Hey guys! It’s Hunter here with another Teen Takeover. Today I wanted to share my thoughts about being the oldest child and how I keep strong relationships with each of my siblings. Even though we don’t always get along, I really am thankful for them and know that they are the ones who will always be there for me. So, I’ve learned that it’s important to create memories with them and make the most of the couple years left I have at home with them!
I like being the oldest, but I also don’t like it sometimes. I like being the oldest because I get to do more than the other kids, like staying out later and things like that. BUT, I’m basically a lab rat for my parents. My parents have never raised another teenager so it’s like they’re testing everything out on me. So they can be really strict and that makes me pretty mad sometimes… but overall, I like being the oldest. I guess you could say there is a “privilege” that comes with being the oldest, so I make sure I’m responsible and being a good example to my siblings.
: MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HUDSON
Hudson is such good brother. We have a great relationship with each other because we are always talking and messing around with each other! But we’ve had to build trust to get there. I really trust Hudson, so I’ll tell him things and he’ll tell me things. We are really comfortable with each other so that has definitely helped us develop trust in our relationship. And I think that’s probably the most important part of any relationship.
: HAYDEN
My relationship with Hayden is really strong. We are constantly talking and telling each other our secrets. We have this thing called the “sister trust” and we’ll do our little handshake when we know we can’t tell anyone else besides each other. That has really helped us bond together as sisters. You need someone you can trust, so I’m so glad I have Hayden. The main thing about our relationship though, is that we are always laughing when we are together! We genuinely love spending time together.
: HOUSTON
Houston is honestly like my little twin! He’s my little buddy. We are always teasing and roasting each other, which always leads to laughing together! He is the funniest kid and super competitive too. I think the biggest thing I’ve learned about growing strong relationships with my siblings is to do stuff with them that they like to do. For Houston, I’ll read with him, help him with his math, and play games on the phone with him. It’s the little things!
: HARPER
I stay close with Harper by giving her my time. We’re about 10 years apart and she’s the youngest so there is not much we have in common, but I really try to spend quality time with her. I make sure I play games with her and not only activities, but just talk to her. Even though she’s young, I love when I have a conversation with her! She knows my friends and talks about them so that’s really fun. Our favorite thing to do is take pictures together and that’s such a simple thing to do, but it creates memories and I want her to remember me living at home.
. . .
I am so grateful for my siblings. I love being their oldest sister and always want to be a person they can trust! Thanks for reading! If you’re interested in any of my other Teen Takeovers, I’ll link them here.
We are trying to get our rental all organized and feeling like home, so I’ve been ordering tons of bathroom and kitchen things to make it feel simple and clean! Even though it’s a rental, I still want it to be our style and feel put together. I’ve found some great items so I wanted to share with you all.
Organizing our rental bathrooms and kitchen has been so refreshing! Amazon has some many good options when it comes to organizing and making things look simple and clean. I’ll highlight some of these items below.
: MIXING BOWLS
We needed some new mixing bowls so I ordered this set of 5 mixing bowls on Amazon and I really really love them so far. The bowls have non-slip bottoms, measurement markers, grater attachments, and I love that there are 5 different sizes of bowls. Only $45 too!
: SMART OVEN/ AIR FRYER
Since we left all our appliances at our last house, we decided to buy this smart oven/air fryer/toaster! Our friends had such good things to say about it so we decided to order it and we have LOVED it! I love the look of it too and that it doesn’t take up much space.
: OXO CONTAINERS
I had these oxo containers in my last house and they were a game changer when it came to pantry organization! You can seriously store whatever you want in these containers… flour, oats, snacks, sugar, rice, etc. They are under $25 too! Make sure you snag a few of these to up your pantry organization game.
: ZIPLOCK BACK ORGANIZER
I am so glad I ordered this bamboo ziplock bag organizer! It has helped keep our plastic bag drawer really organized AND it was under $30! That’s a win in my book.
The showers in our rental home have no ledges to put things on, so I ordered these black corner shower caddies! They come in a pack of 2 for $22 and they hold up so well!
: SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER BOTTLES
I wanted our bathrooms to look more cohesive and clean so I decided to order these $30 labeled shampoo + conditioner + body wash bottles! They’ve helped minimize our bottles in the shower and get rid of extra crap we don’t need. Not to mention that I love the look of them! So if you’re wanting a more clean look in your shower, then these are a good way to get started.
: PLASTIC SOAP DISPENSERS
In our previous home, we had all the soap dispensers built into the bathroom counters so I bought this 5pk of plastic pump bottles for only $15! I ordered plastic ones because I knew that the kids would probably knock over glass ones. I also ordered the hand soap labels to put on these pump bottles. They’re waterproof and don’t smudge so that’s been really nice!
: SHOWER CURTAINS
I ordered two of these $17 waffle shower curtains and the fabric is really nice! I ordered the white color so it looks simple and clean. We ordered these shower curtain liners as well.
. . .
That wraps up part 2 of all my Amazon purchases for the rental! If you missed part 1, here’s the link!
You guys! We are officially moved into our rental! It has been a busy couple weeks, but we are so so grateful to be fully moved into the rental. Moving is no joke! I have made Amazon order after Amazon order trying to get everything we need! I thought it would be fun to share all the random items I’ve ordered. This is just part 1 of everything I’ve bought… part 2 will come out next week so be looking forward to that!
I’m going to highlight some of these items and better explain what I ordered them for, how much they were, and my review on them.
: VACCUUM SEALED STORAGE BAGS
These compression vacuum sealed storage bags were so helpful as we were preparing to move and packing up our things. We used these sealed bags to pack pillows, blankets, baby clothes, and things we knew we wouldn’t need to use while we are in the rental. And better yet, they don’t take up much space at all! They come in a pack of 6 bags and are under $30.
: CLOTHES RACK
The laundry room in our rental has absolutely no hanging space so we ordered this $40 clothes rack that we can mount to the wall! It holds a lot of clothes so I’m glad we purchased!
: LED BEDROOM LIGHTS
Hunter wanted to order these LED lights for her bedroom! They are seriously so cool! She ordered the 100ft of lights and it was only $17.99! You can change the color of the lights and they can also sync to the music you are playing. Such a fun buy!
: EXERCISE PUZZLE MATS
I am so glad that we bought these puzzle gym mats! We ordered 2 bulks of them because we wanted to create a small home gym in the unfinished basement and these have worked great so far! They are under $40 too!
: WHITE TRASH CAN
Joe and I really did our research on trash cans and we ended up ordering this white one! It holds 20 gallons and was the biggest one we could find. I’ve really liked it so far, especially because you can store garbage bags in the back of it.
: NITROBULLET BLENDER
We had to order this nitrobullet blender because everyone loves making their protein shakes in the morning! We have loved this brand of blender, especially because it’s a great deal! Only $70. Easy to use too!
: CHEST FREEZER
Our rental freezer in the kitchen does not have much space, so we bought this white chest freezer from Amazon. Nothing too exciting, but it has worked great for us and it holds a lot!
: HEAVY DUTY STORAGE BAGS
Another great purchase was the blue heavy duty storage bags. We used these to pack stuffed animals, clothes, toys, and more. They made for an easy transition to our rental.
: SWIFFER SWEEPER MOPS
Last thing I wanted to quickly mention was that I ordered the swiffer sweeper because our rental has dark floors and I don’t want to mop everyday. We had dark floors in our California home and my swiffer sweeper was a life saver!
. . .
That wraps up part 1 for all my Amazon orders for the rental! I know these are such random items, but I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve ordered and have enjoyed making our rental feel like home. Part 2 will be all the items I ordered for bathroom and kitchen organization so stay tuned!
