Some of my favorite movies. These are all dramas, some sad, some just simply powerful.

You know that feeling when dinner's in twenty minutes and there's a 1500-piece puzzle sprawled across the only table you own? I lived that for months. Pieces sliding off, cat jumping on it, guests coming over and me frantically stacking books on top of my half-finished landscape. This is everything I use now to puzzle without losing my table or my mind. If you live in a small space or share your dining table with actual meals, save yourself the headaches I went through.

I'm an avid “storm watcher” and have memories of standing with my father on the deck looking at the skies and talking about the clouds. A “bucket list” item for me would be to go on a Tornado Tour. During Storm season it is not uncommon for me to have 3 to 4 devices going with all different chasers and my attention glued to them.

Took me a full year of trial and error so you can skip straight to the stuff that actually holds your attention.

My Christmas wishlist for 2025! A pretty eclectic list, if I do say so myself!

I knit, crochet, spin and weave. I'm at my happiest with yarn running through my hands. Here, I've pulled together some of my most frequently used yarns, from large commercial suppliers to small one-person independent dyers.

These are the podcasts I’m always listening to during my commute, while I clean, shower, eat, or just need some background noise. Whether it feels like chatting with a bestie or learning something new, these shows keep me company through it all.

Handmade watercolor usually comes with mix hue rather than one solid hue, so it's understandable if lots of them are less pigmented and have more fillers. It's made from sometimes different kind of pigment with different watercolor benders, so the quality could be hit or miss since it's a home-based production. Also, the prize could range from affordable to high end if the maker use high quality pigment. But I can assure you, they had great color scheme/theme, that you don't have to mix any primer color to make it. P.S: Some of these collections probably not handmade, but didn't have a brand name, so I keep them included.

I love hosting friends over for anything really. So I need games readily available to keep the entertainment going with a good playlist. 🤩

all the things you need (things i love) for scrapbooking! if you’re a beginner or a pro this list is perfect for you

These are shows I’ve attended, and they’re listed starting with favorite to least favorite. I have more I’ll be adding, and some of these I wish I could out all in the same high spot, but for right now this is the order. 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. So this has hindered us from buying tix more often in this current stage. But my love for music never wavers, and I’m glad for a place to have this list and record some thoughts. 🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶 I added a comedy section as well because I also love comedy shows! Who doesn’t love to laugh! This is a running list I will continue to update as I remember shows or hopefully go to new ones! Feel free to comment if you’ve been to one of these shows or want to go.

Have one of those guys that always buys himself what he needs, has everything, or won't tell you what he needs? Me too! These are gifts that have been successful with my blue collar boyfriend.

Things that bring back fond memories of my childhood. I’m 43 now, and am trying to make a list of the things I remember the most from those years. Time flies so quickly, take a walk down memory lane with me.

My 7-year-old wanted to make birthday gifts for her entire class and I was NOT about to spend $200 at the craft store. Found these supplies piece by piece and now she cranks out little animals, flowers, and bracelets that adults genuinely fight over. If your kid loves making things but you're tired of dried-out markers and glitter explosions — start here before the next birthday party sneaks up.

These are SO MUCH FUN!!! I wasn't even into LEGO as a child but now I am because of these sets. Only reccomending the ones I've built personally even though I'm sure all sets are great :)

When I began my crochet journey I had no one to teach me anything, so I did what anyone else would’ve done nowadays and went to YouTube…and it still didn’t help😂 It took me ages to learn how to do the most basic stitch in crochet but when I was finally able to the pay off was more than worth it! I made this list to help beginner crocheters learn how to start their own crochet journey and so that they can better understand the craft! I also recently learned how to knit so I included some essentials for learning how to do that as well!😉

Ever since I was a kid I’ve been smitten with pens and stationary. If you like bold, colorful ink, you’ve come to the right place!

Affordable party supplies I have purchased and reviewed. Themes are a big deal to me and I try my best to find everything that fits!

Games the whole family can play, including your pre-readers!

We used to sit in the same room staring at four different screens while rain hammered the windows. I spent a full year testing which games could pull everyone from ages 8 to 65 away from their devices without anyone whining about it. If your family defaults to scrolling every evening and you want that to change before the next rainy season rolls in, start here.

For those who do not know what to ask for this Christmas season, this list should give some easy gift ideas for a variety of budgets!

Here’s a list of all my top favorite Netflix shows I recommend. Definitely a lot of drama/action, suspense, true crime! Let me know If you have watched any of these & what you think!

For evenings of boisterous (and competitive) fun

Everything you can find in my photography bag 📷🎞️ As a wedding photographer I have been perfecting the most perfect setup to help me serve my clients the best on wedding days. This list has everything I bring in my bag, including the bag itself ✨

You know that feeling when you hand someone a gift bag and it takes them four seconds to open it? Zero drama. I wanted birthday gifts that felt like an event, where they peel back layer after layer and each box inside gets smaller and more personal. Took me way too long to figure out the right boxes, fillers, wraps, and gifts that actually nest together without looking like a mess. If you love giving presents that make people put their phone down and pay attention, steal this whole setup before the next birthday on your calendar sneaks up.

As an artist I LOVE GAMES, especially ones that encourage connection. These are my actual favorites (with personal side tips) that have been huge hits and that have made some really special memories. Some are loud, some are quiet, some are stressful and some are hilarious. Would love to know your favorites!

My partner is our family photographer, and over the years I have found the gear that makes his hobby easier and more fun. A great bag, a sturdy tripod, and a way to print favorite shots are gifts any photographer appreciates. These are the camera accessories and photo gifts we use and love. Tell me what you love to photograph in the comments! (This list contains affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.)

Everything you need to create your one of a kind felt frames.

I'm a crafter at the core! I like to do a variety of crafts and work with different mediums. These are the machines and tools I use and know.

I've worked with over 20 different art mediums and over a hundred of different kinds of products, and usually they all started with a beginner kit of some kind. Some kits are better than others (aka that crochet kit where the yarn is truly impossible to use), but I wanted to share some that have real potential to helping you get to know the craft on a budget, and give you an advantage to jump start a potential new small business endeavor! This list was made by combing through thousands of listings looking for top rated and best reviewed products. In addition to finding only the best products for you, nearly all of these I have either tried myself or have tried products from the brand and really enjoyed!

We all have that friend who buys themselves whatever they want the second they think of it. Shopping for them feels impossible and you end up panic-buying a candle again. These are the gifts I gave that actually got a reaction beyond the polite smile. Mostly unique, mostly under $60, all stuff they wouldn't buy for themselves.

As a gardener in SW Florida, these items make days in the garden more functional, whimsy or help preserve the life and presentation of plants!
