Retraining your brain, or reframing is a great practice and tools. Affirmations and Gratitude have a lot of research backing their benefits and I have noticed through two brain surgeries how much these mindset tools and practices have helped me and others. Heres some resources I have gathered and will continue to collect on my healing journey
As a Canberra local who hosts lots of interstate international visitors, I know that Canberra is more than just 3 hours from Sydney, the snow and the beach. Here's the familiy's favourite list of places to showcase the best of Canberra. I've included an assessment of accessibility based on my experience pushing and occasionally hauling wheelcheels around many of these places, along with section dedicated to other people's assessments of accessibility.
From beach days to back porch hangs, these Target summer finds are actually worth the hype. Think Bogg-style bags, aesthetic tumblers, Bluetooth speakers, mom-approved must-haves, and all the pretty things you’ll use on repeat. I curated the best of the best—so you can skip the scroll and go straight to add to cart.
These go fast—don’t wait if you love it.
As a 2026 bride, getting healthier and toned is a high priority for me this year! These are some things that have made that easier for me to follow through with that goal so far!
Did you know that in 1957 92% of all 18-month-olds in the US were FULLY potty-trained? It's true! This shift has been a cultural one, not a physiological one. I teach parents how to be done with diapers in about a month or two (earlypottytraining.com). Whether you join my workshop or not, potty training a little one before two can be messy! These products help minimize that. You'll also need some rags in a basket near the potties.
I’m 5'3", 120 lbs, in my 30s, an office girl who lives in real clothes all day. Over the years I’ve learned that fashion has to be functional, flattering, and timeless. This list is full of my go-to pieces that actually fit a smaller frame, move easily from work to after-hours, and never feel overdone. Think effortless staples, clean lines, and simple details that make getting dressed easier without losing style. I hope these picks help you feel polished but comfortable, and I’d love to hear your own favorite petite-friendly finds.
As someone who lives in Italy, went multiple times in Rome, here's some top places where you can enjoy your vacation in absolutly affordable prices! 👍🏻🍀
“From coast to coast, the beaches of the USA offer a dazzling tapestry of natural beauty and coastal charm. On the shores of Hawaii, black volcanic sands meet crystal-clear waves, framed by lush cliffs and swaying palms. California’s coastline stretches endlessly with golden beaches backed by rugged bluffs and rolling surf, where each sunset paints the sky in fiery hues. Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, powder-soft white sand feels like silk beneath your feet, and the turquoise waters glisten like glass under the sun. The Outer Banks of North Carolina offer wild, windswept dunes and hidden coves steeped in history, while the beaches of Cape Cod charm with their gentle waves and weathered shingled cottages. From the dramatic seascapes of Oregon to the serene barrier islands of Georgia, the beaches of the USA are as diverse as they are unforgettable—a true paradise for every kind of beach lover.”
Take a step forward in your career with these amazing online courses that truly helped me to level up my professional skills. These aren't just any courses, these are the ones that really made a difference for me.
This list shares the real things I learned after getting my books into local retail shops and co-ops — the stuff I truly wish I had known sooner. I’m documenting my journey in real time as I grow from a few local shops to expanding into retail stores around the country. I’ll keep adding new cards as I go, so you can learn alongside me and see what actually works (and what doesn’t). If you create something handmade — books, journals, candles, art, food, or anything else — there is absolutely room for you in retail. My goal is to make this path feel less intimidating and more doable. If you’re on a similar journey, I’d love to know what you make!
A packed lunch needs to survive the commute, stay at a safe temperature and remain pleasant to eat. This list focuses on portioning, insulation, drinks, compact prep and cleanup for workplaces without reheating. Check which lids are leakproof, match container dimensions to the bag, and follow food-safety guidance for temperature control. This version is for an office without reheating where texture, portions, and temperature control determine whether food stays appealing. It starts with Portion Food, Control Temperature, Carry Drinks, and Eat and Clean Up, using concrete options such as Bentgo Classic Lunch Box, Thermos Stainless King Food Jar, and Zojirushi Stainless Mug to keep the choices practical. The goal is a list that can be browsed in order, with each section answering a different part of the setup.
Isn’t it funny how just less than 100 years ago radio shows were all the rage.. here we are some 75+ years and we are finding our way back around the radio phone or laptop for a similar form of entertainment. Podcasts… the story telling the way we feel we get to know the narrator. Enjoy my list of my all time favorites.
I love to spend time with my family and have fun with them. Here I recommend places that we love to go. If you are visiting Jax or Saint Augustine, you must go to at list one place that is on this list . You are not going to regret .

I could never find an aesthetic that really felt like ✨me✨ until I found Cottage Core - and now I love sharing things I find with others! (I promise this isn't just a Cider fan page - they just have a LOT of charming cottagecore stuff!!)
Looking for a truly unique podcast recommendation? You'll find one here. Like anyone else, I have my favorite shows, but I try to branch out from time to time. It's important to escape your echo chambers. It's important to enrich the texture of your mind by putting quality stuff in.
I'm two things: a traveler and a book lover. So, of course, I'm always visiting literature-related places during my trips! If you love reading and if you're in Europe (or plan to go there soon), this list is for you! You can save it to find it more easily later on.
