These ended up being a huge hit with Evelyn’s class. When I came to pick her up from school that day, we saw several of the kiddos wearing their masks already!
I sized these printables so that the mask will fit perfectly around them and I secured the back of them with a piece of washi tape on the back.
I ordered these masks from Amazon here, and luckily for me, it arrived next day.

This week in Hazel’s class, they are learning about kindness and friendship. We know how much effort goes into making Valentine’s Day special for your kids, and we’re here to help you shine. These printables aren’t just cute; they’re a way to celebrate creativity, friendship, and the joy of giving.

My eldest daughter has blossomed into a voracious reader—she devours books faster than I can keep our library holds and bookstore visits stocked. It’s a beautiful thing to watch, though I’ll admit, it’s a world far removed from my own childhood experience. Back then, reading felt like a chore, tied to school assignments and deadlines. Honestly, it made me downright loathe books. But seeing her love for stories? It’s like rediscovering the magic of reading through her eyes.

Enter the whirlwind of the Bridgerton phenomenon, and suddenly, I found myself giving reading another shot. I dove into Colin and Penelope’s story—it wasn’t the easiest reentry into the world of books, but it was satisfying to compare the pages to the drama of the latest season with other friends who also read the book. From there, I stumbled upon the Practical Magic series, and those were so fun and enchanting. Each page felt like a mini getaway, a daily escape into a world that was both captivating and comforting.

Since 2024 turned me into a bit of a bookworm (who saw that coming?), I’ve decided to embrace the vibe and map out a reading list for 2025. Nothing too wild—just 12 books. It feels like a goal that’s ambitious but doable for me right now. And hey, if I manage to read more than 12? You better believe I’ll be patting myself on the back!

While I don’t have my entire year of reading planned out, I do think I have my first six books settled on.

6 Books on My 2025 Reading List

1. All I Want Is You by Falon Ballard
   A heartwarming, feel-good romance perfect for cozy evenings and escaping into a love story.

2. The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement by Sharon McMahon
   A deep dive into the lives of often-overlooked figures who shaped pivotal moments in American history.

3. Democracy in Retrograde: How to Make Changes Big and Small in Our Country and in Our Lives by Sami Sage and Emily Amick
   A timely exploration of actionable steps we can take to strengthen democracy and inspire change, both nationally and personally.

4. To Sir Phillip, With Love: Bridgerton: Eloise's Story by Julia Quinn
   Bridgerton fans rejoice! Eloise’s story promises wit, charm, and all the romance we’ve come to love from this series.

5. The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
   A thought-provoking guide to embracing life’s uncertainties and letting go of what we can’t control—because sometimes, you just have to let them.

6. Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
   A must-read for small business owners, this book offers a fresh approach to managing finances and achieving sustainable growth.

In additional to these 6 books, I’ve also added Catching Whimsy: 365 Days of Possibility by Bob Goff. I was gifted this book and I think it may be exactly what I need. Obviously I won’t finish that book till the end of the year.

I’m feeling hopeful that I can tackle these six books by midyear—fingers crossed! But let’s be real, I’m already dreaming about what could fill the next chapter of my 2025 reading journey. If you’ve got any must-reads, hidden gems, or personal favorites, I’m all ears—send them my way!

The Olympics have always been a special event in my life, filled with excitement, inspiration, and a bit of friendly competition. As a child, I couldn’t wait to watch the opening ceremonies and cheer on the athletes. Now, seeing my older daughter, Evelyn, catch the Olympic fever is beyond thrilling. If you’re planning an Olympic-themed party, our new Olympic-themed stir sticks will add that perfect touch of fun and festivity!

We’re counting down the days until the Olympic Games begin! The spirit of the Olympics—celebrating hard work, dedication, and dreams coming true—really resonates with our family.
