I am all about daydreaming of adventure right now and I know that there will come a day when it can happen again. In the meantime, I'm all about getting organized at home. This cute Adventure Awaits pouch will have you daydreaming about future adventures while holding all your stuff. Because it's a free SVG, you can use it for other projects, too!

Team Candy Corn Free SVG
I am 100% unashamedly Team Candy Corn. I love seeing those cheerful bags hit the shelves and I'm known for keeping a bowl full of them all season. Candy corn isn't available in New Zealand. This makes me incredibly sad. I hadn't realized how much a part of October candy corn was for me until I didn't have it anymore. I picked up two bags while I was in Montana and carried it through my press trip and all of my flights to get it back to New Zealand. The candy corn wasn't pretty by the time I got ... Read More
Felt Pinwheel Flowers
I haven't gotten tired of making little projects for around the house yet. We're still deep into the big projects that I don't have a lot of control over, so it's nice to be able to make something fairly quickly and see it brightening up a corner. These felt pinwheel flowers are super easy to make and can be whatever colour you want. This post contains affiliate links.

Starry Starry Night Painted Galaxy Banner
It took us a long time to find the right house for us mostly because we wouldn't budge on the number of bedrooms. It was important to us that the girls each have their own room, which meant a five bedroom house. Those are rare in New Zealand as it is and because we were fixed on a small area, it was even more difficult. I still can't get over that we found our house! We're letting the girls design their rooms themselves (within reason!) and Pippi is going full outer space with hers (she's ... Read More
Statue of Liberty Embroidery Hoop
My first visit to New York City was for a school trip during my senior year of high school. We did all of the standard school trip stops, including visiting the Statue of Liberty. I absolutely fell in love--so much so that I returned for university the next year. My school was downtown and I spent many an evening wandering down to Battery Park and just watching the Statue of Liberty stand proud. If I were able to visit NYC tomorrow just for a day, I would go say hi to Lady Liberty. I ... Read More
City Fireworks Hoop Art
I love (and greatly miss!) summer fireworks. There's something really special about getting together as a community or neighborhood and watching the explosions of colour in the sky. Some of my favourite fireworks memories are of watching the spectacular show Pittsburgh always put on in the middle of the city. They would be set off from a barge in the river and the combination of tall buildings, booming light, and oldies playing is something that has stuck with me. I made this fun City Fireworks ...
