I have crafted most, well pretty much all of my adult life, and have even taught classes. I am that friend who will say ‘Oh, I can make that!’

Resin art is super trendy right now but do you want to make the same stuff as everyone else or do you want to stand out? I'm all about experimenting and trying new techniques. Here are some of my favorite tools and items to help me do that!

These are the pencils, pens, markers, and sketchbooks I actually draw with, from Prismacolor and Blackwing pencils to Micron pens and a pocket watercolor set. If you're getting into sketching or want to upgrade your art kit, this is everything I'd buy again.

We are a Red Sox (MLB) and Ravens (NFL) household! Many of the items below are available for multiple teams, but these are just a few of our favorite fan-gear-items! We always love to rep our teams!

And tv shows that are like movies, that run on for as many seasons as it takes to envelope you in the full storie they are telling!! YES!! These are just some of my favourites that have taken so many hrs of my life and opened my mind and imagination to diffent thoughts, beleifs and many faccets about the would around us!!

Every single project started with ten minutes of pawing through a ziplock bag of tangled bobbins, pulling thread tails apart, and squinting at colors that all looked the same under bad lighting. If you've ever threaded the wrong shade of blue into your machine and didn't notice until three seams in — this list is for anyone who sews regularly and is tired of the chaos eating into actual creative time. Took me a full year of frustration before I finally sorted this out.

My husband and I love a weekly game night, and also have no friends. So our games have to be good for two people! We do have some that you need more people for...we just never get to play them.

Every spring I'd come inside looking like I lost a fight with my rosebushes — scratches up both arms, torn sleeves, and at least one puncture wound that stung in the shower for days. If you grow roses or blackberries or anything with thorns and you're tired of bleeding for your hobby, this is everything I use now. Took me three seasons and a lot of band-aids to figure this out so you don't have to.

My favourite witchy, magical and mystical finds — from everyday altar essentials to cozy mystical goodies and things that make life feel just a little more enchanted. 🔮🖤

I’m in love with creating diamond art and wanted to share a few of my favorite kits of the Summer! For anyone new, this is a very easy, relaxing craft you can do in your spare time.

I adore vinyls, my current collection is over 500 now and I absolutely love any and all accessories that are related to record collecting.

This is a collection of movies that I love to watch during the Halloween/fall season (although I watch these year round hehe) There is a mix of different types of horror/suspense movies and some more family friendly movies.

We tried growing sunflowers three summers in a row and kept ending up with sad, floppy stems that barely reached her knees. This past spring we finally figured out the soil, the seeds, and the setup — and by August she was standing next to stalks that towered over her, absolutely losing her mind with excitement. If you've got a kid who wants to grow something big and you're tired of failed attempts, here's every single thing we used.

December hits and suddenly you need a craft activity that keeps a five-year-old busy for more than six minutes — without your kitchen looking like a glitter bomb went off. We've been making popsicle stick reindeer ornaments every year since my son was three, and I finally nailed down the exact supplies that don't end in tears or a ruined table. If you're a parent who wants that cute handmade ornament without the Pinterest-fail stress, steal this list before the holiday craft rush cleans shelves out.

Movies come and go, but a great soundtrack lasts forever. This list highlights films where the music was the real star—perfectly curated tracks that set the mood, defined an era, and outlived the movies they came from.

I’ve been in both professional and non-professional choirs for 19 years, but this isn’t a list of choral-adjacent songs. It’s just my taste, and honestly, it still surprises me sometimes. These tracks scratch an itch I can’t quite explain. I can listen to them over and over and still get shivers. No sacred music here, nothing Baroque or classical. They just drive me a little bit insane in the best way. Call it ear candy, call it texture, call it whatever you want. These songs hit the spot. Check them out and let me know if they hit the spot for you too.

Streaming services are getting SO expensive, and these companies are using our money to harm others. I deleted all my streaming services, and I'm starting a DVD collection!! Here are some of the ones I have or am going to get. These could be a good start for you too!

Nothing kills craft momentum like reaching into the drawer and finding three wrinkled sheets of brown and nothing else. If you're the parent, teacher, or weekend crafter who burns through construction paper faster than printer ink — I spent months testing bulk packs, specialty papers, and storage solutions so your craft drawer stays loaded without blowing your budget.

Planning a hangout shouldn't feel like a second job, but somehow you always end up with a dead room and people scrolling their phones by 9pm. After years of hosting flat game nights that fizzled out, I finally cracked the code — these are the exact things that turned my living room into controlled chaos every single time. Steal this setup before your next hosting gig so you don't have to wing it.

I started tattooing in my personal time a few years ago and I love it I can't lie. I have created a list of items I use and what I feel are the best of the best. I'm no professional but the compliments I get speak for themselves!

Broadway is more than a hobby for me—it’s my full-on special interest. I see at least six shows a year (sometimes more if I can swing it), and the theater has become one of my happiest places. Whether I’m sitting front row or way up in the mezzanine, if the show grabs me, I’m in. And if I really love it, I’ll be listening to the soundtrack on repeat for weeks (or let’s be honest—months). This list is reserved for the shows I’ve already seen (some more than once) and would absolutely see again. They’ve stuck with me—whether it was the story, the cast, the music, or just the overall vibe. That said, I’ve definitely had a few disappointments along the way (Les Misérables, Moulin Rouge, and Peter Pan just weren’t for me), but everything here earned its standing ovation in my heart. If you're looking for show recs or just want to compare favorites, welcome to my theater-obsessed world!

Every Friday someone says ‘what should we watch’ and the group chat spirals for 45 minutes. Nobody picks, everyone vetoes, and you end up rewatching The Office again. I set up a physical voting board and suddenly movie night actually starts on time. If you host watch parties or live with roommates who can never agree, steal this setup before your next Friday night.

I learned to weave on an inkle loom a few years ago, and I started spinning my own yarn on a simple drop spindle in January 2024. Somehow things escalated. I now use a spinning wheel, use the yarn I make to weave on a rigid heddle loom, and my home is full of fibre to be spun. Wonderful. These are the books and suppliers I have found helpful on my journey into spinning and weaving.

A year of diapers, late nights, and plot twists. On maternity leave, I learned two things: how to function on little sleep, and how to binge a show like it’s my part-time job. These are the series that kept me company during feeds, naps, and those long midnight rocking sessions.

Hi my fellow crocheters! I just thought I would create a helpful list for all the beginners out there. Here are some recs that helped me in my crochet journey that I think could help you too ✨️

I’m qualified to give these recs because I’ve painted tons of custom banners for clients, from parties to classrooms and special events. Over the years, I’ve tested all kinds of tools, paints, and surfaces to figure out what actually works for clean lines, vibrant colors, and professional results.

Fall is puzzle season in my house…crisp air outside, snacks on the table, warm apple cider and a good puzzle that keeps everyone hovering around the dining room.

A collection of soft songs for slow mornings, late nights, and everything in between. No rush, no pressure-just music to help you unwind and let your thoughts wander.

Last October my seven-year-old grabbed a steak knife off the counter and went at a pumpkin before I could stop him — we spent the rest of the night with butterfly bandages instead of trick-or-treating. If you've got little ones who beg to help carve but you break into a cold sweat handing them anything sharp, this is the lineup I tested across two Halloweens. Grab what you need now because half of these sell out by mid-October every single year.

A lot of factors are going to impact your submission wait time, and making sure that you package your submission exactly as they suggest can prevent unnecessary additional processing time. They have been backed up lately in 2025 with long wait times so anything you can do to get your submission moving along is going to help.

I put together this gift guide for lovers of Kpop Demon Hunters! I loved the movie and so did my friends so these are just some of the gifts that will be making it into their stockings.

Dreading Friday nights alone used to send me into a spiral of sad takeout and doom-scrolling. If you're someone who equates ‘solo time’ with loneliness instead of freedom, this is the gear, the books, and the random stuff that flipped that switch for me. Took about six months of trial and error so you can skip straight to the good part.
