I love a good game night. However, so many board games top out at 4 players, and, with 3 kids and 2 adults, that didn't work for us.

A telescope isn’t just a piece of equipment—it’s a front-row seat to the universe.

I have always wanted to draw, and really admired artists and graphic designers who would. I loved their art but inside I was insanely jealous that I couldn't create the same beauty with my hands. Or so I thought, until one day I stumbled upon Skillshare and in particular one class that took things from 0 to hero overnight for me. In my experience it's not enough to just have the right tools at the right time, the right mindset has be there too, for the magic to even get started.I've listed the books, tools, and apps that helped me learn more about what I could really do (draw). As well as some easter eggs with some finished fabrics amongst I designed as a result of this class amongst one of the recommendations. These recommendations took me from being a non-believier in my capability for creativity. To realising my childhood dream of becoming a Surface Pattern Designer, and creating repeat patterns for fabric for dressmaking. PLUS designing stationery that kept me organised. I'm so glad I get to share this with you!

I use to go to shows alll year long. But now with kids it’s just hard to make it. We’ve had a couple shows like the Raconteurs and Tom Segura (TWICE) where we last minute couldn’t go.

I'm starting to Junk Journal, and here are my essentials to START with. I'll also add the little additions I'd like eventually, but truly it's about using what you have and what you come across.

I have very specific requirements when it comes to reality competition shows. Number one: No fighting, no bickering—if someone says, "I'm not here to make friends," I’m out.
