If you're visiting Fairhope with kids—or you just need somewhere to get everyone out of the house—I've got you covered. These are the places my family actually enjoys, not just the ones that look pretty on Instagram. Think playgrounds where kids can burn off enough energy to actually sleep that night, ice cream that's worth the sticky fingers, walks with gorgeous bay views, and little downtown shops that somehow convince your child they absolutely need one more stuffed animal. Basically... this is Fairhope through the eyes of a local mom who's learned that the best outings include snacks, bathrooms nearby, and somewhere to sit while the kids entertain themselves for a few minutes. Happy adventuring, 𝓐𝓷𝓭𝓻𝓮𝓪 🌿

This board is basically my “I need a minute to feel like a human again” collection of simple, creative things I actually enjoy doing in real life (not the Pinterest version where everything is perfectly color-coordinated and nobody is stepping on Legos). It’s full of easy, low-pressure hobbies like scrapbooking, journaling, painting, junk journaling, card making, and all those little creative outlets that help me unwind without needing a whole setup, a degree in art, or a completely clean kitchen table (because let’s be honest… that part is optional at best). I also threw in things like reading, sticker puzzles, and diamond art—aka the activities I can do while half-watching a show and fully ignoring the laundry that still hasn’t folded itself. Basically, this is all about those small pockets of creativity that make mom life feel lighter, calmer, and a little more fun… even if you’re squeezing it in between “Mom, where’s my…” and reheating your coffee for the third time.

My Favorite Books This is a collection of some of my favorite books I’ve read and come back to over time. It’s a mix of parenting books that have really helped me in real life, personal development reads that keep me growing, biographies and nonfiction stories that inspire me, dramatic Bible versions that bring Scripture to life in a new way, and a few fiction books I’ve enjoyed just for fun and escape. I love sharing books that aren’t just “good reads,” but ones that actually stick with you, shift your thinking, or just meet you in a certain season of life. Whether you’re in the middle of raising kids, working on yourself, or just need something meaningful to read at night, I hope you find something here that speaks to you too.

hese are just my favorite places I keep going back to for play dates around Baldwin County. I’m all about spots where the kids can run, play, and explore—and I can actually sit down and have a conversation with another mom for five minutes without chasing someone down.
