shop wovenfolk

There are some new (vintage) baskets over at WOVENFOLK. See all the newest lot of goods here. This Birkin-esque bucket basket is my fave; it’s made from natural cane like the traditional Birkin basket.

this weekend’s deals i have succumb to

November 26, 2017


What sales do you look for the weekend after a full day of thankfulness and turkey? Here are some deals that I absolutely couldn’t resist…

I picked up 2 Humble Brand deodorants for my big girls. It’s BOGO and free shipping! So I definitely stocked up because we’re at the age where they definitely need it.

POLAROID FILM! I’ve been out for a very long time and I finally ordered another stash. It’s 20% off the triple packs, so I couldn’t resist.

We picked up a few Everlane items for gifts… some basic tees and a denim button down. Ben’s favorite denim shirt is an Everlane one, so we picked up another to gift to someone.

Debating getting an iTunes gift card through Amazon here. If you use promo code ITUNES15 you get a $100 gift card for $85.

I know my parents are looking for a TV and Ben’s looking at some phone camera stuff (for video recording memories). Have you found any good deals this weekend?

her love for crochet

November 22, 2017


I love to crochet and it’s fun to see one of my girls pick it up. The girls learned from their Grandmama; she taught them while they were in Texas over the summer. True loves to crochet too, but Brave is the one often with a hook and yarn in hand (True is more a sewer). Currently, she’s working on making herself a striped bag. It’s fun to see their personalities come out more in the hobbies they choose to pursue.

Maybe one day one of the girls will pick up knitting and teach me! That’s one skill I don’t quite understand.
