The little things that make a home feel like magic ✨

Hi Sweet Friends 🤍

Can I tell you something?

The homes that feel the most magical…aren’t the most perfect.

This is it 🤍

👉 Inside Sweetpea’s Supper Club, I help you practice this every month.

Savor the small moment:

No occasion required. ✨ From the Talk “One dinner party won’t change the world…But it might change yours.” And sometimes? That’s where it...

Happy Sunday 🤍 Did y'all know I used to be a nanny? And every year, May would come, and the parents and I would sit down with our calendars and plot out who went where, to what event, with what kiddos. And to this day, I do not know how families do it... May is insane, y'all! Let’s make this week feel easy. 🍽️ Your Game Plan Cook Once, Eat Twice:• Roast a pork shoulder or chicken (This is my go-to oven-roasted pork shoulder recipe.) → Night 1: main dish→ Night 2: tacos, sandwiches, or salad...
