    cute holiday books for kids

    there are so many cute holiday themed kids books that i thought i should round some up! i know hanukkah has already begun but i included some books for hanukkah as well 🙂 

    would love to hear if you love any that i didn’t include!

  • what i ordered from amazon in november

    we got a few more of these fairy string lights, honestly we’ve ordered and returned a few of these on the search for the right color and that plug in (most are battery operated only). and these are the ones we’ve reordered– they’re 100 ft long too! we love them for our tree and basically everywhere for holiday decorating — a strand on the cabinet, around our mirror, on our plants! everywhere!!! 

    i got this really adorable pear stuffed animal for my godson, i love him so much! 

    is this the prettiest candle?! it’s also inexpensive and comes in a bunch of pretty colors. i love it so much!! and once you’re done with the candle, you can reuse the vessel on a shelf or in the bathroom or kitchen!

    my old hand mixer broke after 18 years (no joke, my mom got it my freshman year of college at target and i was really excited about baking in my apartment all alone) so i got this new hand mixer and it comes in cute pastel colors and has worked really well so far. i love being able to pull it out easily when i’m doing something quick versus using my large mixer.

    i want to be those people who drink out of glasses, but we need to use non breakable for the next few years. our old ones were all cracked and broken so i got these tumblers and i’m obsessed. they look like real glass, the tall straight shape is so nice! 

    we also needed a new dish brush and i found this 4 pack of dish brushes that costs the same price i’ve been buying one dish brush for! so handsome and i love that i can use these and my hands stay dry and not smelling like a sponge.

  • comfy fall basics from free assembly

    this post is in partnership with walmart

    ok so i never do style posts on here, but i’ve always wanted to stop being self conscious and share more clothing, so this post encouraged me to try it out! :/ 

    free assembly is a private label at walmart that makes tons of elevated basics i love — no, like try to scroll through one page of the free assembly line without wanting something. impossible!! the prices are so low, but the quality is great and they use organic cotton! Read More

    my favorite classic horror movies

    i did a poll on instagram and making a blog post of my favorite classic horror movies (versus not making it) won, so here i am!!

    i’ve been watching horror movies since i was wayyyy too young. i will never forget some of the traumatic things i saw (child’s play 2 when i was like 4, sorority house massacre 2 when i was 7 and the first scene of friday the 13th part v: a new beginning when i was about 8). I REMEMBERED these vividly throughout my life so my advice to parents is — don’t let your kids watch horror movies until they’re waaaay older ok?!?!

    since then, i’ve always loved horror movies– i pretty much watch them more than any other genre. in college i even took a class on horror film and shocker, i got an A! 

    the term “classic” is confusing because i’m getting older so some movies that seem recent are actually like 20 years old now so who knows what’s considered classic anymore?! ok enough talking, here are a bunch of movies i loved. Read More

    house tour : nicoles traditional turned modern home

    today is a special house tour! it’s the home of my best friend!! when i first saw their house before they bought it my first comment was “it’s so grownup” because of all the crown molding, nicole managed to turn it from super traditional into their own style so quickly and so well.

    she moved super quickly to make so many little changes as soon as they got the place like painting the kitchen cabinets, honing their marble countertops, removing trim pieces off their fireplace to modernize it and swapping the hardware and lighting out everywhere. the changes made such a massive impact to the look and feel of the house so i am so excited to share it with you today!
