Not every hobby has to be hiking or painting—some of the weirdest ones end up being the most fun. Think mushroom art, real-life wizard sports, or even folding toilet paper just because you can. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to try something totally different,” this is your sign. Life’s too short to be bored—get weird with it.

You ever buy something random off Amazon and it ends up changing your life just a little? Yeah… that’s this list.

I’m always on the hunt for jewelry that’s cute, affordable, and actually holds up — especially with little ones tugging on everything. These pieces are dainty but durable — all gold-plated stainless steel, so they won’t tarnish or turn your skin green. Every piece here has those soft, minimal details I love: tiny pendants, delicate chains, little sparkles. Perfect for layering or keeping it simple. These are the ones I keep reaching for — and I think you will too.

I know Kentucky isn’t the first place that pops into your head when you're planning a getaway, but honestly it should be. I’ve lived here long enough to stumble across some seriously underrated spots most people have no clue about. These hidden gems are the kind of places that make you go, “Wait, this is in Kentucky?” From peaceful parks to little hole in the wall wonders, these are some of my favorites I just had to share.

As a mom of three toddlers under three, I’m always looking for toys that keep them busy and teach them something. This list is all about pretend cleaning toys because my kids love copying what they see me do. These picks are fun, safe, and help them feel included while I’m tidying up. Plus, they get to “clean” without making a real mess. Win win.
