If you have a fella to shop for, I have some ideas for you. This is a strictly Etsy gift guide, because Lulu Blue and I have been trying to move away form Amazon, and are doing most of our online shopping on Etsy these days. I am actually very happy with the change, and I would highly recommend it! Here are some gift ideas for your guys. It’s getting cooler! Even here in California we are pulling out our coats and scarves. Keep your boy’s ears warm with this hand knit alpaca hat that you can get here. I love these cool beer glasses. You can get individual ones that you like, or go […]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope it was a good one. I know things are weird and many of us did not get to see the people we would usually spend this time with, but it’s always good to remember that there are still things to be thankful for. Here are a few sweet things I am grateful for. My sweet girl (but not that I did this hair!) This super sweet family, drawn by Lulu Blue (from left to right: Alice the guinea pig, my brother Alex, brother-in-law Christian, Lulu Blue, me, my niece Meggie, my nephew Luka, my mom Aida, my sister Eka, and my dad Nick.) Traveling to some sweet places […]
Lulu Blue and I both have a week off! What in the world are we going to do with all that free time, you ask? Well, if today was any indication, I am guessing Lulu Blue is going to sleep. I think I might follow her lead on that one. I could definitely use a sleep in or two. Of course, this got me thinking about bedrooms. Who does not LOVE a truly comfortable, clean, beautiful bedroom? Since I will likely be needing a new bed, I thought I’d go take a peek at some bedroom ideas, and I decided to share some rooms that I will be using for inspiration when the time for […]
So far, this week included some much needed rain, a socially distant cup of coffee with a friend, new shutdowns in town (or renewed, I should say), amazing vintage finds (coming soon), a delicious soup, and lots of baking. It also included the potential loss of my job. That part is less certain, but very scary. Though I am sure I will figure it out (I always do), I am trying not to let anxiety take over everything. These gorgeous lemons from the tree outside were turned into… This very tasty lemon loaf with sugary, lemony frosting. It was very quickly gone. I found myself having super strong Bloody Mary cravings, so I made one […]
It’s almost that time of year! I adore Christmas. I’ve come to love it more and more over the years, and I genuinely enjoy giving gifts. I love finding the perfect thing for people I love. I usually get started on my shopping early, and have it all done long before everyone else starts swarming the shops, so I have already started making my list and checking things off. Of course, I do not foresee much swarming this year, I just found out that California is going into lockdown again. It’s probably good. I put together a little gift guide for those of you who struggle with this kind of stuff. 1. These boots I […]
I wanted to reach out to the other mamas out there and ask how school from home is going for your family? Lulu Blue and I talked about homeschooling on and off for years, but never pulled the trigger on the idea. This year is a small preview of what it could be like, and I am not a happy camper. My kid is in that in-between stage where she definitely understands the importance of school, but has a strong teen slacker streak. Ugh. it’s just not that much fun. I feel like she isn’t keeping up with her part, but it’s not like I have a ton of time, or the desire, to spend […]
