Making Mood Trackers for Journaling
One of the ways that I have been able to improve my mental health over the last couple of years is to keep track of my mood. I do this via a monthly mood tracker in my journal. These can be as simple as a box for each day that you mark with a color…
Read MoreWhat I’m Reading
My goal this year is just to manage to read 1 book a month. So far, I’m keeping up with that, and even exceeding a bit, as I’ve somehow managed to complete 2 books so far in February. I started the year with one of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, Wyrd Sisters. My copy is one…
Read MoreSnow Days
We got loads of ice (and a little snow) last Wednesday and Thursday. Enough that I got 2 days of working from home with my tiny human in tow. Fortunately for me, the hubs was also off on Thursday, so he was able to hang out with Mil during parts of the day, allowing me…
Read MoreValentine Crafts with Milli
With Valentine’s Day approaching there are hearts everywhere at our house – from the (no longer a Christmas) tree to the crafts.

After about a year long hiatus, I finally got back in my sewing space a couple weeks ago. Granted, that was mostly to convert the space to do crafting with Milli, but that meant cleaning up in the sewing area. And somehow, the easiest way to clean up my sewing projects is to finish them,…
Read MoreFriday Favorites
I haven’t written up a Friday Favorites post in ages, but with Valentine’s Day coming up, it seemed like a great time to share something that made a great stocking-stuffer for my tiny human, and is also perfect for Valentine’s. Just before Christmas, while looking for stocking-stuffers for Mil that weren’t cheap throwaway items, I…
Read MoreSimply Having a Wonderful Christmastime
I’m doing my best to make Christmastime magical for Milli, even though doing all the things can sometimes trigger my anxiety. I feel like it’s important for Mil to have happy memories of her childhood, especially of the holidays. That’s why I made sure to add a couple things to our Christmas traditions this year.…

Jewelry I’m loving these geometric stud earrings from Foxy Originals right now. I got them in a previous Causebox order and find myself wearing them all the time. They have a great simple design, and because each pair is in a different metal, they really do go with everything. Makeup Wearing a mask all the…
