  • shop for me

    dear molly : shop for me

    our new advice column! you tell me what specific thing you’ve been shopping for that you want me to find a “cute” version of, and i shop for you! i was overloaded with requests on instagram, so i’ll just do a few of these at a time until i put up another request box! for now, enjoy the first installment.


    dear molly, a name personalized gift for a baby?

    so many cute options! so i picked out a few. 

    a cute wood name puzzle, i like this because they’ll use for years

    a custom onesie but obv this wouldn’t get as much longterm use

    a sweet customized lovey

    cute knitted name for wall decor

    ok so they won’t wear this right away but if someone got my baby this kids bucket hat i’d be STOKED haha– so cute


    dear molly, a soundbar? (husband insists on having one)

    this sonos one! it’s not cheap but it’s also not INSANELY expensive like some of them are.


    dear molly, a slide?

    the prettiest slide ever! but expensive. 

    and this one is pretty good looking if you’re on a budget


    dear molly, a kids bathrobe?

     

    i loooove this muslin robe! 

    the cutest robes ever but they’re speeeendy

    and if you love the muslin but also want cutesy animal ears


    dear molly, a non-wooden scooter?

    this is the one we have, it’s SO cute and works super well. also comes in a few different colors.


    dear molly, a headboard?

    i love this linen upholstered headboard

    such a beautiful rattan queen sized one!

    more expensive but this one is so beautiful


    dear molly, a humidifier?

    really nice and simply designed one– some mixed reviews though

    this one also nice and simple — more expensive but reviews seem promising! 

    one last option! pretty inexpensive and pretty looking.


    dear molly, a day to day water bottle?

    i love stojo bottles because they’re collapsible when not in use!

    for the active people, this one is nice because it has a carrying strap

    this glass one with a silicone sleeve is nice and sleek (and inexpensive)


    ok so that’s all i’ll do for now, have tooooons more questions to answer! hope you enjoyed.

    back to school shopping

    because a lot of kids are going back to school or starting preschool– i wanted to do a little roundup of cute neutral lunchboxes, backpacks, bento boxes, water bottles etc.

    of course i had to include our favorite clothing stamp i’ve used since arlo started preschool and some very cute little scratch off lunch notes!

    should i do another one of these for older kids who need actual school supplies toooooo?? let me know if so!

    what i ordered from amazon in july

    this month i actually ordered a bunch of super useful things i really wanted to share with you! Read More

  • recipes, roundup

    homemade strawberry ice cream!!

    this post is in partnership with walmart

    we’ve talked about getting an ice cream maker like every summer since having arlo and we finally did it! i was resistant because another small appliance we don’t have space for seemed daunting, but when i saw this beautiful modern white one— i decided we should go for it. so excited to make a bunch of magical summer memories with this thing.

    almost everything here is from walmart, i found so many beautiful kitchen items to include in this post that i had to actively make myself stop shopping. the little beige ice cream bowls are our favorite ever– they’re actually nut bowls that come with a wood base, but we’ve used them daily for years for arlo snacks, guacamole, mise en place, and now they’re the perfect size for a small serving of ice cream!! 

    also i NEED to mention these white steak knives — we use steak knives constantly for quickly chopping a cucumber for arlo or fruit in the morning. these knives are not only gorgeous, they work SO WELL. i was shocked how well they cut tomatoes too. i got two packs and i’m so glad i did. 

    lastly, the strawberry huller!! this seemed so unnecessary in theory, just like all the kitchen tools that serve one purpose and then take up space in your utensil drawers, but as soon as i started hulling the strawberries with it — i was like OH WOW THIS THING WORKS. i am a convert. Read More

    six fun horror movies to stream

    ok so i really don’t post on the blog much about the movies and TV that i post about on instagram, and i figured i may as well. i know not everyone is into horror movies, but for those of you who are– i thought it would be fun to do roundups of the ones we’ve enjoyed recently! 

    all of these movies are “fun” meaning they have some laughs, and a few of them aren’t really scary at all but they’re still classified as horror so i included them. if you’re into black comedy/horrors, i think these were all pretty enjoyable. Read More

    crate & barrel faves

    remember in the 90s when people used to be like omg i wish i could have a shopping spree at so and so store? why aren’t shopping sprees a thing anymore? because mall culture is dead?! anyway my point is, if i could have a shopping spree at crate and barrel I WOULD WANT IT SO MUCH.

  • pretty everything, roundup

    pretty everything : kitchen sink-ware

    image via

    you know my love of pretty things doesn’t stop with the dishes– so i thought it’d be fun to round up lots of attractive sponges, dish brushes, dish towels and dish racks today.

    i did this post a little differently, so you can directly click on a product and be taken to the product page, but i hope it’s not glitchy for you! if it is, let me know!

ok new fave holiday hobby unlocked — this is way b ok new fave holiday hobby unlocked — this is way better than potty training. now what else should i draw!!!???

my pinterest is full of embossed tin ornament crafts and i’ve been hoarding tomato paste tubes and takeout containers for a month

i’ll do a proper diy tutorial but all i did was flatten metal takeout containers with a butter spreader, then draw designs with an etching tool (but a ballpoint pen will also work fine!) 

punched a hole and added a ribbon! haven’t figured out if there’s a way to dull the edges but they’re not too sharp as long as they’re rounded!
for all the parents of kids who collect every rock for all the parents of kids who collect every rock, seashell, twig, piece of gravel they see — make these sweet ornaments  with their treasures — perfectly easy craft for kids to do themselves too 🤍

— i used oven bake @sculpey_official, roll into a ball and smoosh down
— just gently press the shells or rocks in to the clay
— add a tiny wire U to the top to hang
— bake according to package directions 
— i used some elastic string to hang easily

happy thanksgiving!! so so thankful for my sweet f happy thanksgiving!! so so thankful for my sweet family and a husband that shared the same dream, for said new dream life and of course, our view!!! and double of course, FOR YOU! you encouraged me to follow my dreams and allowed me to have this crazy job where i COULD move! i could never feel lonely because of you guys 🥹❤️
the only thanksgiving food my kids enjoy!! cinnam the only thanksgiving food my kids enjoy!!

cinnamon roll turkey — 3 cinnamon rolls + bananas, strawberries, cantaloupe + blueberries for his pupils
literally the most “green” place cards you can mak literally the most “green” place cards you can make for thanksgiving lol— magnolia leaves or any other type (i used rubber tree leaves), write with a paint pen and you can remove with rubbing alcohol if you need to fix anything. so easy and so cute!
some glimpses of joy lately #ApplePartner — been p some glimpses of joy lately #ApplePartner — been puttering around the house soaking up the end of autumn/beginning of winter, listening to MY WHOPPING SECOND @applebooks AUDIOBOOK, wearing sweaters, eating muffins!

and i’m reading “wild dark shore” by @charlottemcconaghy, another @reesesbookclub pick.

and please weigh in— tile stickers better than the tile here? i bought them, but now i’m thinking the original tile is fine!?
DIY house portrait plate! i’m joining @perkinsonp DIY house portrait plate!

i’m joining @perkinsonparkway and @peonyandhoney for CRAFTmas day 14!! they’ve been making the cutest holiday crafts daily and i’m tired just thinking about it! 

this plate diy is so simple to make and you seriously don’t need to be good at drawing— mine is totally off center and it doesn’t even bother me!! (jk it does)

✷ use a piece of white tissue paper to trace the house in pencil (you can print a pic of the house or just trace on an ipad)
✷ tape it onto your plate and go over it with a thin sharpie (do it twice if you really want a heavy bleed!)
✷ remove the tissue paper and then draw it yet again with a ceramic paint pen! 
✷ add text, add decorations— and if you want to change things you can easily remove with rubbing alcohol 
✷ once you’re happy with your design, bake according to the marker instructions (i also let it cool in the oven)

comment MAKE if you want the link for the paint pen, etc sent straight to your dms ❤️
