Happy Friday! We’re cruising along through the first month of Q4. During my working days I am feeling the time crunch of trying to get everything done in a finite amount of childcare hours, but I will say (at least so far, lol) I’m not nearly as overwhelmed as I usually am. I have a good system and there’s something about having lovely little children with high support demands to put things in perspective 😜
Here’s what’s been on my radar this week:
ONE // Martha Documentary Trailer on Netflix
I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited for any documentary. Martha Stewart is such an icon. This documentary looks incredible and I cannot wait to watch it. I’ve met Martha a few times– she is as impressive as you would imagine in person.
TWO // Old School Vera Bradley Prints
Wow! I got a few targeted ads for Vera Bradley and I got the best feeling of nostalgia. Vera Bradley was the thing to have when we were in high school. Each of my friends had a ~signature print~ and we would give each other gifts in the print for holidays/birthdays. I had quite the collection of “Green Apple.” These current prints are bringing me right back. They feel so timeless and quintessentially VB– I want it all!
THREE // Kensington Dolls Company
It’s a good thing we don’t have a bigger house. If we did, I would probably start a dollhouse collection. I loved them as a kid and honestly… I still do now! The Kensington Dolls House Company creates the most exquisite miniature worlds.
FOUR // Weezie’s Holiday Collection
Weezie just dropped their holiday collection and it’s so, so cute. I know it’s early, but personalized gifts take a bit of planning… and the Weezie pieces would all make amazing gifts. Whether you’re buying something for yourself or planning ahead for a hostess gift, now’s the time! I got an embroidered apron and a matching one for Jack to wear while we bake together!
FIVE // Mouse Halloween Costumes
I am completely enamored by this TikTok account where the creator is making teeny tiny costumes for stuffed mice every day during the month of October. The way I get giddy when she posts a new costume. They’re freaking CUTE. (And it makes me want to pull my sewing machine out real bad!)
So many cute things today! Thanks for sharing!

Hi! Did you change your blog’s fonts? The words with st in them are curly and kind of cute but also a bit weird to read.
Respectfully, but as someome who works with medically fragile children with traumatic brain injury (and I’ve sadly lost a few with degenerative illnesses this year), you do NOT have children with “high support demands.” Not even close. It’s extremely insensitive and offensive to the people that do, when you make such a claim. I’m not going to list the ways your children and family are privileged, you already know. But please gain some perspective before writing things like that. You have no idea how bad things could really be.
Sorry, I had no idea that was an offensive term and that was not my intent.
