Cozy Fall Date Nights! Because this busy working mom of boys deserves a little romance too. When getting a sitter is impossible, bring date night home — think cozy blankets, candlelight, and real connection after the kids are in bed. These are my favorite picks for easy, affordable at-home date nights this fall. Mom tested. Trend approved!

“My mom’s wisdom still guides me every day. From staying humble and showing up for others to finding strength in humor and never settling for less, these lessons are the foundation of who I am. They remind me to be kind, grateful, patient, and to celebrate the little things in life.”
This is a growing list of cabins I’ve either stayed in or am quietly plotting to stay in. Some are proven favorites, others are saved screenshots and tabs I refuse to close. Lakes, woods, mountains — if it looks like a place where time slows down a little, it probably belongs here. I’m drawn to cabins that feel intentional and tell a story. Woodsy hideaways, lakefront spots meant for early mornings, mountain cabins that make you want to stare out a window and rethink your life choices (gently). They don’t need to be perfect — they just need good light, cozy corners, and the kind of atmosphere that makes doing nothing feel important. This list isn’t a ranking and it’s not a promise — it’s a mood board for future versions of myself. Places to unplug, romanticize solitude, or bring the right people and disappear for a few days. If you’re also collecting cabins like little escape plans, you’re in the right place.
I was born in 1979 - so all things '80s, even early '90s get me right in the heart and I want them all. I thought it could be fun to compile those finds right in this list. Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, anyone? - What else can I find for an adult lover of the 80s?
I've never really known how to use makeup correctly. I only truly started using makeup and experimenting with a routine during my freshman year of college.. So my current routine only involves 7 products and hides/accentuate the features I want them to. It's also affordable and I'm learning as I go. I'm always trying new products and I'll add more recommendations as I go along for my makeup beginner girlies!

When we got Arie, I was completely clueless about what to actually look for in a breeder. I just wanted a fluffy goldendoodle and I got lucky. After years of talking to other dog parents, seeing the fallout from backyard breeding situations — health problems, genetic conditions, behavioral issues that trace back to who the parents were — and doing a real deep dive on responsible breeding practices, I put together everything I wish I'd had going in. These aren't scare tactics. They're the actual signals that separate breeders who genuinely care about their dogs from ones running a puppy operation with zero accountability. Whether you're getting a goldendoodle, any doodle, or any dog from a breeder, start here before you put down a deposit.

Here we list just some of our top recommendations for things to do on your trip to Hawaii, and in particular the island of Kaua'i. Note this list contains affiliate links.

After my 9 - 5 job, I dabble in the field of content creation. Throughout the years of working on Life of an Earth Muffin, I have explored many different resources and tools that have been helpful to me as an influencer - here is that list!
I love a lip look that feels easy and finished, whether I want a soft wash of color, a shiny top layer, or a cushiony finish that keeps lips feeling comfortable. Inside: five lipsticks for everyday color, five glosses for shine and dimension, and five oils and treatments for a smooth, cared-for feel.
That first year disappears so fast it's almost cruel — one day you're bringing them home, the next they're pulling themselves up on the coffee table and you realize you forgot to document half of it. If you're the parent, aunt, grandparent, or friend who doesn't want to give another generic onesie, this is the list I built after scrambling through my own kid's first year wishing I'd planned ahead.
