I actually need help here: I am getting into junk journaling but I can’t even find a cute journal to start with. Where do you find yours?

I would love for it to look like a typical book so it blends with the other books in my library when on the shelf!

Thrifting each day keeps the attitude away…or whatever the saying is

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AND I AM SO EXCITED THAT WE ARE FINALLY KICKING THIS SERIES OFF!! 🤗🤗

Idk if Phoebe would be considered a porch goose, but she looks hella cute on my kitchen shelves

Porch geese are crazy expensive so my suggestion is to keep an eye out and manifest finding it at the thrift store! 🫶

Don’t let anyone stop you from the thrift ✊🏼

Check out how our rugs turned out! This birthday & Mother’s Day we wanted to try something we’ve never done before so we tufted some rugs!

Tuft-Love in Superior, CO

Similar projects linked below since rug tufting is a pretty expensive hobby to jump into

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

When the working day is done, oh girls just want to have fun ✨🌸🫶

So we rug tufted.
Small Business Shout Out: Tuft-Love (Superior, CO)
All materials are supplied when you book a session and you can buy beginner kits from them if you would want to dive into the world of rug tufting.

It would be a more expensive hobby to begin due to the equipment needed.

I’ve tagged punch needle kits (hand tufting) and cross stitch as cheaper alternatives!

DIY Candle Making I Easy Holiday Craft
2026 🕯️📚

THINGS I LEARNED:
1. Don’t forget to consider how far down the lid will sit on the candle when pouring the wax into the candle. You don’t want to overfill the candle jar!
2. Beeswax candles need coconut oil mixed in so they dry correctly.

Thrifted & Thriving in Fashion ✨

Finding my postpartum style and the struggle that came with, was something I was not expecting post partum. I think when you’re body is no longer the same as it was for so long, it’s hard to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, especially when it feels like it is constantly changing day by day.
True to myself and my passion, I set out to see if I could put together thrifted fits that would make me feel and look happy, without feeling guilty of the price tag…because here at Thrifted & Thriving, that is always the goal.

Brands represented in the pictures:
@Freebird Stores @Three Bird Nest @Target @adidas
-Ramy Brook
-Free People
-Nastygal
-Walmart
-Vintage Boho Bags
-Old Navy
-Nena & Co
-SHEIN

Avengers Assemble

There’s no way to ignore how life has gotten so expensive since we were kids. And now raising kids, I’m finding that I need to pick and choose where I spend my money because there’s always something new to buy right?! When it comes to shopping, especially for my crafts, I do RESEARCH so that I am making sure I’m getting what I need at the best price. That way, every time I buy, it is ✨guilt-free✨ as it should be.

Postpartum measurements:

Bust-37”
Waist-31”
Hips-44”

Glasses: SHEIN (I am notorious for breaking glasses)
Linen Set: Amazon
Shoes: Target (Cat & Jack from the Kids section 🤣 yes, I have small feet)
Bag: I actually upcyxled my Casaluna comforter set and turned it into a boho sling bag 🙂

If your eyes don’t hurt when leaving the thrift store, you’re doing it wrong

Fun fact about me: when I am not crafting, I work as a school based Speech Language Pathologist. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and a build your own flower bouquet was traveling around the district for teachers to enjoy! For someone who owns her own flower bar rental, it was nice to be on the receiving end for the first time
🤣🌻🌸

I absolutely LOVED this idea because it was different. If you have any other awesome ideas for teacher appreciation week (maybe you’re a teacher yourself and wanna share your requests), I’d love to hear it! 🫶🏻
