Hi! I'm Bri and I have maybe the most sensitive skin the world (it feels like)! I have MCAS and an anaphylactic allergy to polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is in most skincare.

After moving into our home five years ago, our dining room quickly and naturally turned into the craft room. So many memories and so much creativity being made in there on the daily. I love how my wooden farm table has paint splattered on it. These are some of the things we currently have or have used in there and really enjoyed or was really useful. I highly recommend a designated craft area for your kids without worrying about things possibly getting painted on or some marker or glue. Things can always be replaced, but the memories and fun will last forever!

I also buy gifts that hopefully my friends appreciate too - activity based kits can be very helpful for school holidays.
