I love a good handwritten note. There’s nothing like opening the mailbox and finding a letter from a friend. This, of course, is why I’m obsessed with stationery. And why I wanted so badly to expand the stationery options in my Etsy shop. I’ve started rolling out some fresh, new designs that feature watercolor details…
Father’s Day! Time again to celebrate our amazing husbands who also happen to be amazing fathers. I don’t know about you, but as I start to plan my gifts for the Mr. every year, I tend to go a little overboard. I get what I refer to as “christmas for the kids syndrome” where I…
I am sure we aren’t the only ones who lovingly refer to our grandpas as “Papa.” I went through a phase of calling my own dad “Papa” because I watched a little too much “Little House on the Prairie” growing up… but that’s neither here nor there. Now my kids call their grandpas “Papa,” which…
Ah, the end of another school year. Here comes summer with all its sunshine and lazy afternoons and playdates and movie watching. But before we could usher in the season of lengthy days that begin with laughter and staying up late and barbecuing and playing in the sprinklers (sure, it’s all fun and games that…
Disclosure: I received some items free of charge to review from UncommonGoods in order to write this post. However, all opinions are my own. Let’s face it, no two moms are alike. And my mom might not like a photo calendar with my kid’s faces plastered all over it, and your mom might not love…
I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty impressed with myself this Valentine’s Day. I came up with a great gift idea for the mister after seeing something similar on Pinterest. What resulted was a year full of fun activities for us to do together that would be a mix of new experiences, familiar date nights…
With a little over a week left before Valentine’s Day, it’s time to place your orders for the mister in your life before time runs out. I’m not a fan of over-the-top cheesy gifts (neither is my husband), so I usually go with something manly instead. Unless, of course, we are talking about heart-print boxers,…
This year for Father’s Day, I wanted to give the Mr. something that would help him know just how loved he is, and something that would remind him of his last day as a Father of two (we were induced with Graham the day after Father’s Day). So when I decided to do one of…
As the end of the school year is approaching, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for our much-deserving teachers. My daughter’s preschool teachers work so hard and love their kids so much, and they definitely deserve something special! This year I am on the Preschool board and have offered to help with end-of-the-year gifts from the entire class, and I’m trying to come up with something worthy of such wonderful people.
Here we go again! My favorite options for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are homemade gifts. Not only because it saves money, but it also (usually) makes for a more meaningful and heartfelt gift (unless you have a “nailed it” internet meme moment).
