  • 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

    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!

a week of food, pretty views of water, and ARLO CA a week of food, pretty views of water, and ARLO CAMP! ⛺️ you gotta swipe all the way through for the full tour it’s incredible
#MMS_Partner some sweet little easter ideas to cop #MMS_Partner some sweet little easter ideas to copy! here are a few cute and VERY kid-friendly spring get together ideas with @mmschocolate because it’s way more fun to do together! 

🥚decoupage easter eggs 🥚you can make the prettiest cardboard or paper mache eggs with whatever design you want, no art skills required. separate the napkin plies from the top layer, trim out the pieces you want to use and then apply adhesive with a brush, smoothing to prevent wrinkles! i’m obsessed with how these came out!

perfect for table settings or your egg hunt! (i like to fill our egg hunt eggs with pastel M&M’S® for a fun little surprise!)

🥚birds nest cookies 🥚 these are so easy, nostalgic and actually shockingly delicious. my kids LOVED helping and the messier the better!

— in 30 sec increments, melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips, ½ cup butterscotch chips and 2 tb peanut butter together in the microwave until smooth.
— mix in 2½ cups cooked chow mein noodles (sub pretzel sticks if you can’t find)
— scoop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and carefully place a couple M&M’S® Peanut Pastel Blend Eggs on top
— let set for 3 hours

🥚pastel M&M’S® centerpiece🥚using whatever you’ve got at home, put a smaller vase or vessel into a larger one and fill in between with M&M’S® Pastel Milk Chocolate Blend, carefully add water to the inner vessel and flowers. pick whatever you’ve got growing outside (hopefully!) all the twigs and wildflowers welcome, it’s spring after all. 

(such a dream partner! i mean i’m practically named after M&M’S®! lol)
i’m SO hard on myself for my productivity levels s i’m SO hard on myself for my productivity levels so i have to constantly remind myself that i’ve still done plenty to the house even if most rooms aren’t pretty yet! 

some little things we’ve done around the house lately — baby steps!!!! how much better are the ceilings!??!!
a cute little way to make baking cookies with your a cute little way to make baking cookies with your kids special! divide a little dough, enough for one or two kids and let them have their way with it 😆

my kids put smashed up candy cane, marshmallows, jam, sprinkles into their custom cookies— they may technically turn out quite gross but it’s really cute!!

back home, back to sorta the opposite of beach wea back home, back to sorta the opposite of beach weather but the snow is all melted now and izzy was asking to come back to connecticut so she can eat couscous again lol 

and we got a new chair for the living room!

the old me would never choose a dark leather chair, but I’m so happy i did! the room was feeling so cool toned but it added a lot of warmth to the corner. still need to paint the window trim and add shades, yes still talking about it!
