Hosting a Thanksgiving meal is hard, but I'm here to help by choosing some delicious recipes that can (mostly) be made ahead!

You can focus more on the table setting, the hosting, and the quality time with friends and family!

apps that hold what my brain won't. task lists, planners, trackers, the stuff that externalizes executive function so it's not all living in my head (which, let's be honest, is already full) (:
A collection of the pieces I rely on to keep my home office functional, comfortable, and calm throughout the workday. This list includes a mix of furniture, lighting, stationery, and tech that help create a workspace that feels pleasant to spend time in. I’ve included several options for key pieces like desks, chairs, and lighting so you can find something that fits your space and budget. Alongside those are the smaller essentials I reach for daily — notebooks, desk accessories, and a few practical tech tools that make working from home easier.
We visited the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville area in May 2026 and had the best time! It was my husband, by 15 month old and myself. Here's everything we loved that is NOT focused on the tourist traps, but I made sure to include some tourist traps we liked for funsies.

As the days begin to cool down, I turn to warm meals and drinks. These recipes aren't fancy, but they sooth my soul. Variations of most of these recipes have been cooked by my family for generations. They feel like warm embrace from Nan or sitting by an open fire enjoying the heat and roasting marshmellows with Pop. They use seasonal ingredients, such as pumpkins, dates and zucchini, or are baked in the oven which doesn’t get turned on over summer. Where possible I have linked to Australian websites.
I love a good lazy river. They're the perfect blend of restful relaxation and cooling, splashy fun.

My 7 year old daughter and I had the trip of a lifetime at Disney Port Orleans. She had never been to Disney World and when we got to this resort, she thought this was it! When we arrived, our room wasn't ready yet and they took our bags and sent us to the pool. I think she went down the waterslide over 25 times. Luckily our room was ready by then and what a treat to stay in a princess room near the pool. We loved that we could go to Disney Springs and some of the theme parks by boat! We went fishing and roasted marshmallows every night after long days at the park!

I’ve gone through so much music, and Shazammed music while in Egypt. It’s annoying as a dancer to see every single dancer dance to the same 5 songs. Granted, they’re popular for a reason, but as a lover of music, a dancer, and specially a lover of Egyptian/cultural music, I’ve taken it upon myself to go through some intense rabbit holes on Spotify to bring some not-so-oft-used music 😁
