When I was twenty I got really into making cookies and working on baking the perfect cookie. While I loved making them I also loved giving them to family and friends for when they’d travel for a vacation. It felt so quaint and 1950’s 😍 One time my mom, dad and brother were going to …
Christmas in July: How to make Peppermint Ornaments
Y’all know I love a simple craft and this one is simple and can be done WAY before Christmas because it requires things you can buy at any time! I used peppermint candies but I believe you can use any hard candy if you’re wanting a solid other color- either circle candies or maybe jolly …
Summer Camp Crafts: How to Tie Dye Shirts
OF COURSE we’re ending this week of fun crafts with tie dyeing! I mean, we’ve come together through the struggles of mosaic stepping stones, made friendship bracelets because we’re BFF’s, made macrame plant holders to bring zen into our homes and bedazzled our pens so office life can be a little more exciting.

Summer Camp Crafts: How to Bedazzle Your Office Supplies
Several years ago, like 8 years ago I had just moved back in with my parents after living on my own for the previous three. I was sad to put all my stuff that I had curated for my home/apartment into storage and I was truly, “living the dream” since I moved into their basement. …

I realize that in traditional, children summer camp, they have crafts and snacks, but we’re doing this as an adult take! I have included mocktails for each day also, so if you’re pregnant, or not …
I Can Make That Mondays: Replicate a Coach Purse
