Miniature Beach Campsite from Nature
Hey Everyone! I’ve been away for a bit. I spent last week in beautiful Lake Tahoe, celebrating my sister’s wedding. Hazel and I had a girls trip, just the two of us, all the way across the country to be in the wedding party. It was a whirlwind with our flight being delayed and losing out on one of our vacation days, but we made the best of it. And I am so glad I was there to celebrate with my sister. It was hard to be away though, and I have to say, there is truly no place like home. I couldn’t wait to give my other two kids…

Creative Gifts for Little Ones: to spark their imagination
I have partnered with UncommonGoods for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Several years ago I received an UncommonGoods catalog in the mail and loved the quirky, creative and different offerings they had. I had never seen anything like it at the time. Even though this was probably more than 15 years ago, they are still an awesome source for creative gifts for family and friends. I especially love their gifts for babies and children, which is where you can find all of the gifts featured here. This year, I want to get back to a simpler idea of gift giving: handmade, thoughtful, creative. And especially for my children, find…
