Ongoing list of the books I’m reading in 2026!

Sometimes the best nights are the at-home nights. These are the comfort pieces I live in, lounge on, and swear by — they make staying in feel just as good as going out!

Packing for a trip? Make it count. These are the travel pieces I grab for every getaway — compact, camera-ready, and smart enough to make the whole experience smoother (yes — even the airport lounge moment.

Want your home to look like it came straight off a ‘pin-worthy’ mood board? These are the pieces I personally love that turn any room from ‘meh’ → wow. Think: clean lines, cozy touches, and smart upgrades you’ll actually love living with.

This list is crafted to help anyone—from first-time renters to seasoned home chefs—stock a functional, efficient, and stylish kitchen. Rather than overwhelming you with every gadget under the sun, it focuses on core tools and essentials that enable great cooking, good organization, and longevity.

🍁 Fall fashion for women 40+ that actually feels fun again! I’ve rounded up my favorite trendy-but-wearable pieces for fall — cozy knits, flattering dresses, and effortless layers that prove turning 40 doesn’t mean turning off your style.

This is only my opinion, so some may have different feelings but I think these are the best smash burgers you can find in Chicago!!! If anyone has any I haven’t listed but should try, drop a comment because I want to try them ALL!!!

Follow me on my 2025 reading journey. I'll include genre, spice level, and star ratings to help make recommendations for your own reading journey!

I have been vacationing in the Wisconsin Dells since I was in high school (I’m now 40). This list is packed with options for all ages, singles, couples, friends and families! If you have any questions, let me know. This is a fantastic place for a getaway in all 4 seasons!!!

Fun activities to enjoy with your kids and create lasting memories together, including FREE options!
