There’s a lot of things in this world we can’t There’s a lot of things in this world we can’t control, but one thing we can is where we spend our dollar!

I truly believe that the easiest way to make a difference in your every day life is to be mindful of where your money goes. 💸

We live in a world of algorithms and influencers that are purposefully trying to get you to spend as much as possible. It can feel near impossible to make smart shopping decisions when so many things are vying for your attention. 🙃

That’s why I created this page. I’m on a mission in my own life to make more mindful shopping choices as we curate the home of our dreams! 😍

I’m far from perfect at it, but I’ve learned so much from shopping secondhand and supporting small businesses that I want to share everything I’ve learned with you! 

Often we turn to Amazon because it’s the easy and convenient choice, but let me make the alternative easier for you.

It’s my mission to find the best small businesses and thrifting tips so together we can make a difference in how we shop. 💪🏻

If this message resonates with you, or you have the same goal, be sure to follow @romanticizingrach so we can be in this together and hold each other accountable! 🫶🏻

So what do you think? Are you ready to take back your power?

How lucky are we to have soft and sweet smelling heads to kiss? Little arms that get thrown around our necks and little hands that tug on ours.

I’m not usually a morning cleaning person so a lot of coffee was necessary for this one. The 10 oz Reserve Tumblers from @tossware are the perfect on the go cups for both Archer and I!

They’re completely shatterproof so I don’t have to worry about Archer breaking them (we’ve already lost a hefty portion of the ceramics collection 😭). Plus they are free of BPA’s and harmful chemicals so I know his juice is safe 😮‍💨

I love them because they are microwave safe and as a toddler mom, I can’t tell you the last time I finished my coffee while it was hot 😅.

So if you’re looking for a set of cups that are toddler safe but still have a cute design, you have to check these out! Use code RACHEL20 for 20% off your order (link in bio)!!

I realized I never did an official before and afte I realized I never did an official before and after of Archer’s room!!

We have been so obsessed with this space and how it all came together 🥹

This room has quickly become everything I dreamed of for Archer since before he was born! 

There are still a couple of details to finish in this room like a new light fixture and maybe some different storage baskets, but I’m in no rush to find the perfect pieces 🥺

I believe boys deserve beautiful rooms too and I tried to make choices that he would still love as he grows. 

What do you think?? Was floor to ceiling wallpaper the right choice for this room? 🥰

Everything else: secondhand 😍

Summer vibes dumpp 🫶🏻 I’ve always loved s Summer vibes dumpp 🫶🏻

I’ve always loved spring and summer but I’m enjoying the warm weather more than I ever have this year. Maybe just from getting my pink back? 

Maybe from having a two year old that reminds me how AWEsome nature is every moment of every day?

Not sure I could pinpoint it but I can feel that this summer is going to be a fulfilling one.

In honor of little man feeling under the weather, In honor of little man feeling under the weather, here’s a tribute to the summer we’re trying to have 🤣

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, hands down the best part of being a parent so far is how much your kid will get you OUTDOORS. 

This child would eat, sleep, and bathe outside if we let him. He’s absolutely feral and I LOVE IT. 

You truly can’t couch rot as a mom, but it’s been the biggest blessing to spend more time outdoors and see the world through the eyes of a child. 

I’m genuinely so pumped to get messy and scraped up with my wild child this summer 😍
