I frequently have people ask me for planner pen recommendations. I have a very (very!) extensive pen collection. Pens are very personal (you know what I mean if you’re a paper and pen kinda gal!), but I have enough faith in the pens I’m going to talk about today to say with confidence that these …
I love to read, which you probably know if you are a return reader…I love talking about books! And you also may know that I love Outlander. This post contains affiliate links. The Outlander series books by Diana Gabaldon are, without a doubt, my favorite books. Whenever I finish one, I feel a giant black …
As I write this post, I’m reading Seven Stones to Stand or Fall. I just googled “when will Outlander season 4 premiere?” and I’m currently catching up on interviews with my favorite author, Diana Gabaldon – author of Outlander and all things related. So. You could say I’m a fan (OH! In case you need …
When my kids quit napping (which was, like, forever ago since they both quit before they turned three…poor 2012 Carrie was ALWAYS TIRED), I had them do “quiet time” for an hour each day. It took awhile for them to understand the concept (stay in your room for an hour…no, ACTUALLY stay in your ACTUAL …
Hey, Goal-Getters – I wrote y’all a book. <3 A year ago, I signed a contract for my first (but not my last) book deal. It was to create a book about vision boards, and it morphed from just vision boards into planning, goal-setting, goal-getting, and living your best life. I hope this vision board …
Fixer Upper fans (me! me!) have a new reason to visit Waco, Texas. Chip and Joanna Gaines have opened a new restaurant called Magnolia Table – and it totally lives up to the hype (if you’re okay with a wait, that is!). But like any Magnolia experience in Waco, it comes with crowds, long lines, …
If you’re a working parent, you’ve likely been down the summer camp road before. Summer camps aren’t just for fun…they’re sometimes a necessary means of childcare during the summer months when our kids would normally be in school. But summer camps are expensive, yo! So how do you find the best cheap summer camps? No …
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my recent Instagram stories and California picture spam (not really spam, though, because palm trees and donuts are awesome, right?!). I love, love, love Carlsbad. My family has deep roots there (the Little League field is named after my grandfather, who built it so many years ago) – …
Update: This DIY Link Costume for Breath of the Wild was created a few years ago. It remains one of my more popular Halloween costumes, and this game remains one of m kids’ favorite games. If you have a little one obsessed with this game and are looking to make them a costume, I just …
When I was in high school, I was way into thrift stores. It was a good time to be in thrift stores. Grunge was all the rage, and there’s no better place to find colored cords, slouchy, holey jeans and cool 70s sweaters than your local Goodwill. Or at least, that was the case in …
