If there’s an excuse for a balloon arch, I’m taking it. 😂🎈

And since the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, I knew I had to go all out!

The best part? This giant balloon arch in my foyer AND the smaller one in my living room cost less than $40 total to make.

A few tricks made all the difference:
✨ clusters of four tied with fishing wire/line - it won’t pop the balloons, I promise!
✨ filling gaps with different balloon sizes
✨ chrome balloons for a little extra sparkle

Proof that you don’t need a huge budget to create something that makes people say “WOW!”

Looking for an easy Father’s Day surprise? 💙

I attached photos of the kids and their dad to helium balloons and scattered them around the kitchen for him to find on Father’s Day morning.

Such a simple idea, but it made a big impression!

Pro tip: Print your photos on regular printer paper instead of photo paper so they aren’t too heavy for the balloons. 🎈

It’s inexpensive, personal, and one of those little touches that reminds someone just how loved they are.

The first time I used the Cat & Jack guarantee, I was convinced I was about to get in trouble. 😂

Instead, the employee told me families use it all the time!

As a mom of four, I’m always looking for ways to stretch our budget and get the most value out of the things we’re already buying.

And if there’s one thing kids are good at, it’s growing out of clothes way too fast. This hack has saved me hundreds over the years!!

Wedding season is in full swing, which means registries are everywhere. 💕

And while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying something off the registry, one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever given was this recipe book.

I found a beautiful recipe binder on @etsy for under $40 and filled it with recipes from both sides of the family for my sister-in-law! 🩷

Not just any recipes-the tried-and-true crowd pleasers and any recipe I had noted her future husband had enjoyed over the years!

I paired it with a few baking items from her registry, but honestly, the cookbook was the heart of the gift!

Practical. Personal. Meaningful.

My favorite kind of gift. 💕✨

People rarely care what you spent but they will care about how you made them feel! 💕

For our TJ’s & PJ’s night, I wanted each detail to help someone feel a little more known, welcomed, and celebrated.

Because making people feel special doesn’t have to be expensive-it just has to be intentional. 💕 by @fakeittilyourefancy

A balloon arch for under $20, comfy pajamas, Trader Joe’s snacks, and some of my favorite friends! 💕🍒🙌🏻

This TJ’s & PJ’s night was proof that getting together doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated to be memorable.

The best part? This theme is the perfect excuse to host a girls’ night, kick off the summer, or even celebrate a birthday or baby sprinkle!

And can we talk about the Trader Joe’s beauty bar for a second? 👀🍒

Have y’all tried any of Trader Joe’s skincare products? If so, what’s your favorite? 👇 by @fakeittilyourefancy
