    Playlists for Every Activity

    I am not a huge music girl. I am awful at finding new music, and it is embarrassing how many songs I don’t know that were popular when I was growing up. But when I do find music I like, I listen to it over and over. Like for years. I have a few go-to…

    Recent Transactions

    Let’s be honest, I love buying things. I love finding something pretty or useful and adding it to my virtual or literal cart. I love getting home and finding a new spot for the item. I love it when a package arrives at my house. The whole shopping experience is just my favorite. I thought…

    Name Sweaters

    I love making name sweaters! I have always loved embroidery, and when I first saw these sweaters, I knew I would be able to recreate them. I taught myself the stitch and practiced over and over. These sweaters are great for chilly days, name reveals, monthly milestone pictures, nursery decor, and so much more! Here…

    Lottie’s Book Haul

    I love children’s books! One of the things I was most excited about with having a baby was the fun books we could read together. Growing up, my mom would always let me buy books. The one rule was that she would not buy me a new book until I finished (or almost finished) what…

    TGATG #16

    I have always loved to read. In 2022 I made it a goal to read 52 books (read more about that journey here!). A few years ago a friend told me about an app called Libby. Libby is a free app that gives you access to audio and digital books via the library. At first,…

    52 Books in 52 Weeks

    I have always loved to read. When I was just starting, Junie B. Jones was my favorite. Next came my love for Nancy Drew and then of course Christy Miller.  At the beginning of 2022, I made a goal for myself to read 52 books within the year. I definitely had to pick up pace…
