I get this yucky feeling when I pick up a toy that I know will be broken or lost in a matter of weeks and place it in my cart for a birthday or Christmas. It feels like such a waste to buy something that they might sorta like, but probably won’t love. It will…
Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure unicorns are nothing new… these mythical creatures have been around forever, haven’t they? Didn’t Rainbow Bright ride on a unicorn? Or was that just a colorful horse? Either way, I feel like they were present in my childhood. So why on earth are they blowing up right now…
Finding the perfect gift for a baby girl or her soon-to-be modern mama can sometimes be a chore. I tend to want to give something meaningful, adorable, and non-disposable (sure, diapers are great as an add-on, but not the entire gift!). I love all the options available today that just weren’t there when I had…
Picking out the perfect gifts for a high school graduate can always be difficult… what do they really want or need? Um, probably money. But aside from that, sometimes it’s great to give them something entirely functional and necessary, and other times it’s fun to spoil them for all their hard work (like, say, if you’re…
I’m trying not to have a panic attack. But honestly, how is it already May?!? I swear 2017 just started, didn’t it? Although I can’t even remember what my resolutions were… did I have any? Anyway, I digress. Mother’s Day will be here before we know it, so it’s probably a good time to start…

That’s a lot of thinking to put into one little basket…
Christmas always brings its gift-buying challenges. Like what to buy for the lady who sits in the cubicle next to you that you chat with about your respective dogs, but you can’t remember her husband’s name (although, you do know her dog’s name). Or maybe you’ve got a list of several people that you need…

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, it’s once again time to start thinking about how to honor your kids’ teachers for all the hard work they’ve done over the year. I still don’t know how teachers do it… I would lose my mind if I was in a room of 20-30 kids…
Mom deserves the very best, don’t you think? Yes, I’m mostly saying that because I’m a mom. BUT STILL. You know how I love me some handmade gifts. And every time I turn around there are more awesome ideas floating around the internet for DIY gifts for mom. So I’ve rounded up some of my…
