Waiting (im)patiently for our Dunkin' to have pumpkin spice! . I have actually been trying to cut back on my caffeine intake by drinking 2-3 20 oz cups of water per day! . The adjustable corset coffee cozy looks cute not only on a iced coffee to-go, but even a glass of water at home! . I think most people don't drink nearly as much H2O as they should! It makes me feel more awake and energized rather than rattled when I intake more water than coffee! About how many glasses of water do you drink a day? .

"Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me." - The Rainbow Connection. Kermit the Frog. . When I change Cora she is so wiggly! That's why I always have a special little toy up on her changing table so she can be distracted by that while I change her dipe. . It's always a little toy that only stays on the changing pad, so when it's time to change it's exciting for her to play with it and she'll be entertained for a little while. . She's been loving the rainbow rattle as her changing toy, especially because it has jingle bells inside! . It really helps get the job done quick and easy if you've got something to distract! . Do you hand your babe a toy while you're changing her? The Rainbow Rattle is the perfect size for little hands!

"It's all any of us wants, to find a nice person to hangout with until we drop dead. Not a lot to ask!" - Lorelai Gilmore. Gilmore Girls. . We just got back from a huge roadtrip to visit Danny's family and the drive was rough for Cora (and us!). She was so over being in her carseat despite the many stops for diaper changes, snacks, and leg stretches. Poor thing. But she was the BEST time at grandma & nonno's house! The journey there and back was a lot but I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. Danny is the best for driving the whole way there and back, soothing a disgruntled 9 month old, and calming a worrisome momma! . In other news, a new item is coming to the shop and I'm so excited to show you! . Any guesses on what it might be? Let me know in the comments for ultimate cool person points! I always comment back. 💗 . . . #storyknits #newproduct #handmade #etsyshop #coolmom #prettyaccessories #girlyaccessories #momaccessories #bohemiandecore #shabbychic #shabbychichome #shabbychicmom #momminainteasy #tiredasamother #mommalife #girlmom #lovehandmade #smallbusinesssupporter https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6QproBQAS/?igshid=1edwusoo51tz8

"There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination." - Willy Wonka. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. . Did you know today is national chocolate day?! Cora can't have chocolate yet, so I made her some cute little Hershey kisses! . Do you like chocolate? I know it's not for everyone. I love chocolate! I've been treating myself to dark chocolate covered raisins lately. . Treat yourself to a Hershey Kiss today for my little miss! You deserve it! . By the way, did you know the little paper inside a Hershey Kiss is sometimes called a Plume or even better, a Niggly Wiggly?! . #storyknits #nationalchocolateday #chocolateday #nationalchocolateday2020 #hersheykiss #chocolatekiss #candykiss #hersheykissplush #babytoy #softbabytoy #treatyourself #modernbaby #trendybaby #babyshowergiftideas #genderneutralnursery #babygirlnurserydecor #teethertoy #babygiftideas #babyroomdecor #babyroomideas #nurserydecor #handmadeforbaby #handmadebabygifts https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWoY94hUb-/?igshid=2viewl76lyvw

"Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it." --Judy Blume . For a long time fear held me back from doing what I really want to do. Fear of failure, fear of no one liking my products, fear of wasting money on materials for things no one would buy. I've been taking baby steps to crush my fears about starting a business for the past few years. But today I conquered those fears by investing in myself and StoryKnits! . I just joined my first business course, the Crochet Boss Academy, by @acraftyconcept . I'm so excited to be on this journey and I look forward to all the new things in store for my small biz! . Is fear holding you back from doing what you really want? I'm here to tell you that if I can conquer my fear, you can too. You. Can. Do.
