Mama’s Helpful Hobby

My husband and I have lived in a few different apartment sizes and now we’re first time home owners. Whether big or small, these are tried and true items that have worked for us in our home!

I’m no chef (except for my toddler), so I’ll use whatever I can to make food prep easy. This list is full of different kitchen gadgets, gizmos, and appliances any amateur chef can use!

Mental health is so important, and thankfully it’s become far less taboo to talk about. Full transparency - I have depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and intrusive thoughts. These are just the things that have helped me to take care of myself. *Disclaimer* I am not a medical professional and this is not medical advice.

We are a dog and cat loving household! These are a variety of things to make you a great pet owner!

As my bio says, I have a wild toddler. These are different items, tools, and ideas that have gotten me this far in motherhood 💖

I’m what you would call a ‘scrunchy’ and ‘type C’ mom. I’m not opposed to screen time, but it’s not how we spend most of our time. These are all toys and activities my son, nieces, and nephews have enjoyed at some stage in childhood.

I prefer to be comfortable at all times. That doesn't mean I never look put together, comfort does not have to be a sacrifice!

When I say basics, I mean like basic. Taking care of your skin is so important, but not all of us have always been great about that. These are things that have helped me show my skin some love ❤️

A list of Etsy shops I have ordered from and had a positive experience! A lot of these revolved around my wedding and some just for gifts!

These are my top reads (4+⭐️)over the last few years in and out of a book club (Heavy on the psych-thrillers / extremely low on the romance). I can't say you will also love these books, but they are worth telling people about!
