I’m going to be repurposing this blog. I’ll leave the homeschooling and COVID stuff up because it’s a nice little record of that time (though not as complete as I’d like, I never post consistently), and the resources might be useful to some people, but I’m kind of wanting a place to post random things I’ve been working on.

Some ideas of things I might post about:

  • Hand sewn busy books for kids
  • Bonsai growing (as a newbie)
  • Random little art and craft related kits and activities
  • Cozy video games
  • Board games
  • Apps I like
  • Cooking, baking

… and anything else I feel like rambling about.

I’m not going to hide the fact that part of my goal here is to monetize the things I’m passionate about. I’ve been dealing with a chronic illness that is making my normal job more and more difficult. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to keep working. So other, more flexible income streams are looking pretty attractive.

I’ll probably redesign the site a bit, maybe add some ad space, maybe make some printable resources available, maybe some affiliate links. I have to do some research and see what will work best for me and for my readers.

That’s all for now, hopefully I’ll manage to post again soon.

Hi, I'm Lauren, a real human showing up unedited in a world that only wants to show perfection. This blog is no-nonsense and filter-free, and I hope that's a welcome change from the Pinterest-perfect world we're used to seeing. I'm a chronically ill mom juggling work and family life, trying not to let the busy drown out the bright. I've learned that even when you're tired, busy or overwhelmed, there's space for creativity and joy. In fact, that's probably when you need it most.
