Musings

November 20, 2014July 31, 2015

Every time I wear my UGGS I laugh. I mean, they are so darn ugly. And they are the best thing I ever got from Victoria’s Secret (THANK YOU Haven Gift Card!!!). The baby has even taken to them. (In the event you are new here, this lovely room is my master bathroom.)   I… Read More

Barefoot Pumpkin Cupcakes + Holiday Tour

November 18, 2014July 31, 2015

So I didn’t manage to get supper on the table last night (well, other than a hodge podge of leftovers), but I DID concoct a fabulous dessert: Ina’s Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Frosting.  I cannot find the words to convey how yummy these were!!  This would be a perfect addition to an Apple Cider Bar,… Read More

Happy Everything Mini Mickey

November 17, 2014September 13, 2015

One of my all time favorite decorative items is my Happy Everything Plate .  There aren’t many things in my cabinet that can take on so many different celebrations with just a quick change of a topper!  The company makes darling attachments for everything from holidays to sports to seasons to just plain every day, but… Read More

Start Your Engines

November 16, 2014July 31, 2015

Our friends at General Mills surprised us with a huge box of cereals featuring their new Mega Bloks cars inside. Well, we’ve been running around like chickens with our heads cut off for the last couple of weeks and it just sat sadly on the dining room table. Until today!   The baby was supposed… Read More

Rockstar Birthdays

November 14, 2014July 31, 2015

The third grade team at John’s school is having one birthday celebration day each month for all of the kids turning a year older.  (I’m not even going to share my thoughts on that right now…)  After a little back and forth, John finally decided that he wanted to treat his class to double doozies.… Read More

Turkey Talk

November 13, 2014July 31, 2015

If you’ve been around this little blog for any time now, you probably remember me talking about Turkey Talk.  It’s just too good not to share year and again though.  It’s one of our favorite family Thanksgiving traditions and is easier than pie to pull together!We pass around a bowl of questions throughout the meal. … Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
