12 Best Touchscreen Gloves to Put in Her Stocking

Mother's Day Gift Guide 2022
My mom is coming for Mother's Day this year which feels extra special. It's kind of fun because Mother's Day and Father's Day are about six months away from my birthday and Chris's birthday, so it feels like an extra "thinking of you" day, and we both really like that. For this gift guide I […]

Mother's Day Gift Guide 2020
Mother's Day is just over 2 weeks away on May 10th. And you know what I realized this year? I actually like Mother's Day more than my birthday. There's a lot of hype and attention and focus on what are we going to DO for birthdays and Mother's Day is more about not doing things and appreciation...but […]

A Few of My Favorite Things 2019
There was a good portion of this year where I couldn't light a candle due to a little bit of PTSD from the cabin fire in February. Not that a candle caused the fire, just that I was so worried one would cause another fire. I am happy to say I have cautiously been able to move […]
