✨ I’M BAAAAAACCCCKKKK! ✨

It’s been a minute, friends… and I figured it was time for a little life update. I know I haven’t been posting regularly, and I truly feel like I owe this amazing community a peek into what’s been going on behind the scenes.

So here we go. 💛

A few years back, I returned to teaching—6th grade Language Arts at a local middle school—and I absolutely LOVE it. I’ve been doing it for about eight years now, and it fills my heart in the best way.

On top of that, my four “babies” aren’t so little anymore. 😭 I'm the second shortest in my family and my husband is going to be outgrown in the near future!  My oldest is 20 and my youngest is 15, so life has been BUSY in the best (and wildest) ways.  

And amidst all the kid chaos, sports, and everyday life, my sister and I have also been helping care for my dad. He’s 82 and living with dementia. We recently lost my stepmom to Alzheimer’s in September, so it’s been an emotional season. Even though he’s in a memory-care facility, we’re still very involved, and honestly… it’s a labor of love I’m grateful for. ❤️

All that to say: life has been full. Really full. But I’ve missed THIS space. I’ve missed sharing. I’ve missed chatting with all of you. And yes… I’ve missed hunting down all the best deals (and finding a few goodies for myself too 😉).

So I’m easing back in. Not posting as nonstop as before, but showing up again—with intention, joy, and a whole lot of gratitude.

If you’re still here… thank you. Truly. Let’s do this.
