Pumpkin Book Report {Who Was Walt Disney?}

October 20, 2016October 26, 2016

The baby recently had to turn in a “pumpkin book report” on his non-fiction book of choice.  After a brief pass through the options on our at-home bookshelf, he quickly settled on Who Was Walt Disney?  Good boy :-) He had to read the book and answer four questions about it and then decorate a… 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!
