Spent the sweetest spring day exploring Green Bay
Spent the sweetest spring day exploring Green Bay Botanical Garden with my best friend and our girls 🌷✨

None of us had ever been before, and somehow it felt magical from the moment we walked in. The early spring blooms were beautiful, the girls loved exploring every path, and we honestly could’ve stayed all day.

Bestie packed us a picnic so we could soak up as much time in the gardens as possible 🧺💐 We already promised we’d come back later in the season when even more is blooming.

And of course… we couldn’t leave without stopping at the gift shop for some Seroogy’s chocolate bars for the drive home 🍫🤍

Some days just feel extra special.

One thing about me… every spring I will be making
One thing about me… every spring I will be making my Walmart garden center run 🌿🌸

And my annual PSA: the Boston ferns are officially IN and Walmart always has some of the best prices I can find anywhere 👏 I check local greenhouses too (and absolutely love supporting them 🫶), but Walmart is always one of my stops for ferns, flowers, organic soil, planters, and patio inspiration.

Today’s trip included:
🌿 pretty planters
🌸 fresh flowers
🪴 organic soil for my gardens + planters
☀️ patio set dreaming
…and trying not to leave with everything 😂

If you want links to anything I showed, comment “Walmart Garden Center” or “Patio Season” and I’ll send them to you 💌

A mom-daughter treasure hunt at @olliesoutlet is always a good idea ✨

From towels and pet finds to books, rugs, tools, and even 99¢ cards. Every aisle had something fun to discover. That’s what makes Ollie’s so special… every trip feels different, and the prices are already this low every day.

Our favorite stop? Always the book section 📚

What’s the first aisle you head to at Ollie’s?

Basement flood Part 2… and thankfully, this update
Basement flood Part 2… and thankfully, this update is a lot less chaotic.

We moved FAST on drying, and I really think that made all the difference. We’ve had multiple dehumidifiers running nonstop, tons of fans and blowers going, and we’ve been checking everything with a moisture meter to make sure we’re not missing hidden moisture in the walls and floors.

With all the recent flooding across Wisconsin, groundwater levels have been really high, and our best guess is that hydrostatic pressure briefly pushed water in while our sump pump was catching up. We lowered the float so it kicks on sooner moving forward.

I think our saving grace has been our wood pellet stove keeping dry heat circulating down there. It helped dry things out way quicker than I expected.

We’re also being super intentional moving forward:
- Replacing all cardboard storage with plastic bins
- Getting everything up off the ground
- Purging and deep cleaning which honestly turned into the cleanest our basement has ever been 🫶

We’ll likely be replacing the rugs that got saturated, but overall we’re feeling really grateful we caught it early and avoided major damage.

Pro tip call your people. Bounce house blowers from family and friends worked just as well as the industrial ones we rented 😂

If you want links to the moisture meter and our favorite tools we used, comment “basement tools” and I’ll send everything your way.

Not the situation we wanted but definitely making the best of it.

Apparently I walked into Target and it already knew my summer wardrobe 🤭 Barrel jeans, the perfect thick white tee, and the cutest boat-ready knit dress… say less. Also why is everything on sale right now?? If you want the links, just comment “target haul” and I’ll send them your way 🛍️

I’ve watched someone I love be placed in moments where his presence made all the difference. And I’ve also seen what it feels like when others show up for us in the moments we needed it most. Both have reminded me that being there for someone is never small, it can change everything.
