My favorite walk of the day. 📮✨

It’s extra special when it’s my last chance to send happy mail before a holiday. And about 100% of the time, you’ll find me doing it in my Halara leggings, if we are being honest.

If you’re looking for some new leggings for summer, my recommendation would be the UltraSculpt™ High Waisted Tummy Control. They hold everything tight while also being cozy. Win-win combo.

Any Legally Blonde fans?? 🖊️💖

Because when I heard they were making this show, I was intrigued. Then, when @uniballco sent this Elle Pen Set my way, I got even more excited about it.

I also didn’t want to create any art without at least watching a little bit of the new show, @ElleonPrime. It came out on July 1, and in the first seconds of the first episode, I was already inspired. A pink, decorated envelope flashed on the screen as Mariah Carey played, and I knew I need to recreate that. So, not to spoil things, but the show kicks off with an everything pink birthday party.

If you’re a Legally Blonde fan, I’d recommend giving the show a chance. It’s full of nostalgia, fun typography inspo and great pens. 😉🖊️✨

You can snag these pens and the fancy pink puff right now on Amazon while supplies last. You get four Zento pens in Linen, Lavender (the one I used in the video, unsurprisingly, Mist and Sea barrels. Each is a .7 tip with black ink. I have this pen in a bunch of other barrel colors, and they are so satisfying and smooth for everyday writing. A little chunkier than I usually use, but I love them for my to-do lists, chore charts and notes.

Head to my stories or link in bio to get your own set! 💖

What a month. 😅

Because I guess time flies when you’re having fun. Or something like that. I’ve been writing so many summer camp cards while juggling the summer schedule with kids, and I can’t believe the month is already over.

My all-over-the-place lifestyle is probably why I am always wearing athlesiure, specifically my Halara leggings. I have a handful of colors, and I finally decided I need to add some shorts to the mix because we’re officially past June Gloom. I’ll just have to keep my ankle tan going while I wait for my shorts package to arrive.

Here’s to another month of fun mail and time with my kids. Bye, June. Hello, July!

Oh, and don’t miss my smiling photographer at the end. 🤭

p.s. you can shop these leggings in my link in bio. I like the ultrascupt leggings, but they have so many different versions. Hop into my DMs if you have any questions!

#TheHalaraCircle #HalaraListens @halara_official #snailmail #favoriteleggings

Mostly a reminder for myself. 🙃

But I always feel better after a walk outside, even if it’s just 5 minutes. Catch me out in the streets in my Halara leggings trying to get in my daily steps and fix my terrible posture. 😬

Summer reading ready! 🔖🖊️🐙

Books AND a craft? Count me in! ☺️ Because reading doesn’t stop around here, even if school is out. Whether you’re 5 or 105, summer is a great time to cool off inside with a fave book. But why stop there. Spend some time crafting your own bookmark — or one for a friend — with few stickers and a pen.

Thanks to @besarme_official for hooking us up with these supplies. You can find them all linked in my bio or DM me for the link to everything. The bookmarks are only $9.40 right now and are always selling out, but keep checking the link.

Once you’re done crafting and ready to read, jot down your book in a little notebook so you can track your progress and favorites over the summer months. It’s also good comprehension and handwriting practice for young kids just starting to read on their own.

📖 👉🏻 Now I have to know. What are you reading this summer? I’m making my way through Good Inside to try and be the best parent I can be this summer. Meanwhile, Agnes is flying through the Unicorn Diaries series and Heidi Heckelbeck. We’re taking recommendations, so drop them in the comments and then head to my link in bio to shop your fave summer reading supplies.

Supply list from @besarme_official:
48 Pcs Safari Animals Pens: only $23 right now
24 Packs Mini Notebooks: less than $10
160 Pieces Natural Flower Stickers: less than $10
60 Blank Bookmarks with Tassels: less than $10

Meet me at the mailbox. 📮💌

I’ll be the one in @halara_official leggings and a purple shirt. It’s basically my uniform at this point. I’ve got the ankle tan to prove it. 💜😜

If you’re looking to take pics with the mail trucks, just pop by at the end of the day. They all park in the parking lot of mine, and it’s so fun and cute!

I also can’t believe May is over. Just like that, it’s a new month (the best month) and I’ve got a summer of keeping kids entertained ahead of me. Watch the feed for more mail, stamps and kid activities. Anything you want to see more of? Just comment to let me know.

#TheHalaraCircle #mailbox #snailmaillove #endofmay

And just like that, it’s summer. 😎☀️🍉

Swipe through to see our chalk sign in action. It’s simple, but an effective way to mark the end of the year. Agnes is off to second grade, and Otis moves up to preschool. 🎉 They are excited for summer, and I’m optimistic we’ll find fun stuff to keep us occupied. 🤪

Lunch bag, but make it cute 🐸🦋✨

We’re deep into May-cember over here, which means field trips, teacher appreciation, fundraisers, events and summer prep. 😅 It’s a lot, but at least we have a few fun art projects to go along with all the chaos.

Agnes needed a disposable lunch for her field trip, so I jazzed up a paper bag for her. I did it last time, and she was eager for me to do it again. She’s also been busy with her own art. Swipe to the end to see her teacher appreciation card. 🥺

Hope all the parents are surviving these last few weeks and days of school!

Day 9: Butterfly 🦋

Flying in a little late, but definitely wasn’t going to miss this prompt. This group of butterflies, aka kaleidoscope (what a perfect name for them), will be headed off to its recipient soon. I have decided to just mail as I go during this challenge, rather than save them up. It’s helping me actually get the out of door. 😅 iykyk

Day 8: Cosmic 🌑💕

How could I not go with a moon theme?! I didn’t see any reports from @nasaartemis about a smiling moon, but this is what mine looks like. 😜 But seriously, have you been following along and have you seen all the amazing photos?! You should because my little moon doesn’t do the real thing justice.

I also had the perfect pair of stamps. 👩🏻‍🚀🌚

@papersource stationery and @stabilousa pens doing the job tonight. And the did spectacular!

Day 5: Hop to it! 🐰

Are you kidding me?! Cute bunny cards that sit up and give your recipient a hug! When I saw these at @papersource last month, I knew I needed to add them to my card stash. They are the perfect just because card for friends and fam.

I also need to hop to it and catch up on my National Card and Letter Writing Month prompts. We had a busy Easter weekend, so I am just trying to work my way through the Monday to-do list, one bunny at a time.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and if you’re looking for your own set of cute cards, don’t forget to use my code to save: BRENNAMEDIA10

Day 4: Something Sweet 🧁

Our house is overflowing with sweets thanks to Easter weekend, so this was a fitting prompt. 😅 What’s your Easter candy of choice?? I can’t say I have one. I don’t really like jelly beans. Peeps are 🤢, and I am allergic to a peanut butter cup. 😬 Catch me drinking and ice cold Dr Pepper instead.

Back to the actual project at hand. We’ve got cupcakes paper turned into an envelope liner and pop-up cupcakes. 🧁😜 Cute paper is from @papersource and the pens are @zebrapen_usa mildliners.

Day 2: In Bloom 🌼

I wasn’t sure where this card was headed, but I love how it turned out. I used a gift tag as my “bloom” inspiration, and then remembered the @papersource workshop by @lynn_giunta, and I thought it would be fun to use my yellow polka dot paper for letters. I love that it has a little bit of movement (swipe to see it) and isn’t perfect. Finished it off with an envelope liner, washi and my new sunflower stamps! 🌻😍 I’m obsessed with them!

Watch for day 3 🥐👀

Day 1: Gratitude ✨

Kicking off National Card and Letter Writing Month with a thank you card feels so appropriate. The act of slowing down and taking the extra time to put pen to paper makes me feel even more thankful for the kindness I have received. You really pause and spend that time thinking about the person and the gratitude you have for them. ☺️ That’s one of the many benefits of snail mail!

I encourage you to give it a try. I hear @papersource has some cute thank you sets, including this floral tapestries design. I did my best to mirror the art inside my card and on the envelope. I rather like all the matchy-matchy of it all. Don’t forget to use code BRENNAMEDIA10 to save on any of your PaperSource.com purchases.

Nostalgic craft time 🌈📷

Please tell me this wasn’t just a craft we did back in Kansas in elementary school. You did this too, right?

When I opened my Craft Month box from @papersource, @shopcanvas.co and @hpsprocket (which you can still go enter to win by the way), my mind was flooded with crafting ideas, but the tissue paper immediately made me think of those crafts were you used your pencil eraser to squish up squares and stick them on paper to make a picture.

I took that idea and gave it a photo frame twist. I will say, my happiest surprise about this whole thing was how easy it is with glue tape. I vividly remember this craft being very messy: gobs of glue, the paper sliding around, the tissue ripping. None of that with easy-to-roll-on glue tape. 😅 I bet all of our elementary teachers wish they could go back in time and take modern adhesives with them.

So, if you’re looking for an easy, kid-friendly craft to celebrate the first weekend of spring, give it a try!

Supplies:
- @papersource tissue paper
- @hpsprocket printer
- adhesive tape
- scissors
- pencil

All filmed with the help of my @shopcanvas.co lamp.

When I finally “escaped,” the chick paper craft and snuggle bunny stationery came home with me. 🤭

Which color is your favorite? 🌈🖊️

The grape color is my favorite, but I am very impressed with the yellow. Also, that “steal” blue hurt to write, but I was just swatching what the pen says. Not the “steal” I would have gone with, but here we are.

You’ve seen these before. I used them for National Handwriting Day earlier this year, but I am back with a full swatching for you. These are the @writechofficial Vintage Dual Color Gel Pen.

You can find them at @papersource and other places on the Internet. I linked some in my bio. Cute little notepad is from Paper Source, too.

This pen is ELITE! 🖊️🎉

And I’m not just saying that because it glides across the paper and comes in eight great colors. Elite also happens to be in its name. It’s the uniball VISION ELITE, and it’s turning 25 this year. That meant I had to letter happy birthday wishes.

Thanks @uniballco for what is possibly the best birthday party favor I will ever get. #gifted Like, how do you top amazing pens?! That’s just some food for thought for anyone who plans to invite me to their birthday bash.

But if you’re looking for a smooth pen to take on your next adventure, or just for your desk. This pen is up for the job. It protects against water, fading and fraud, and has technology that makes it leak-free and airplane-safe. Plus, did I mention eight vibrant colors. It’s got a purple so you know I’m sold.

Happy 25th birthday to the uniball VISION ELITE! 🥳

Rainbow mail 🌈💌 turning my new @posca_usa brush tip swatching into happy mail. It’s a win-win. These paint pens are also sooooooooo satisfying and layer right over the top of one another. 🤌🏻🌈 16 beautiful colors to work with!

It feels so wrong to smash that brush tip, but that’s the only way I could think of to get my new @posca_usa brush tips started. 🫣 The instructions on the side wanted me to push straight down, but I couldn’t bear to do it.

But I am excited to use them on projects this year, now that I have them all primed and ready for lettering and art! I’ve got 16 fun colors to work with! Linked in bio. 💜

This is your year to ✨ SPARKLE ✨

Kicking off 2026 with news pens and a little motivation from the duo of @happyletteringtanya and @crafty.lil.panda. Their January lettering challenge prompt felt like the perfect opportunity to show off my new @posca_usa glitter pens. I got them for Christmas, and they have been sitting on my desk just begging to be used.

They aren’t exactly like other POSCA pens I have because they have more of a plastic tip. I found that they worked best when more upright, rather than at an angle. I got little splatters when I tried to hold it more like I would hold a normal pen.

The subtle glitter and opaque paint is such a great combo. Watch for it on envelopes this year for sure!

Until next year. 📮✨

My kiddos had so much fun with their @makeitcutekids house this holiday season. They wrote letters to Santa, “heard” reindeer on the roof, and play anything and everything it in all month. The house is back to its original state, but the holiday magic will be again before we know it. 😮‍💨 It’s fun but exhausting. If you were out there creating holiday magic this season, WE MADE IT! 🎄🥰 Now to go clean up the house. 🫣

Brush lettering my way through the holidays. ✍🏻📮

My desk has been covered in brush lettered cards this week, and it’s been so much fun! I don’t really advertise this option, but maybe I should during the holidays. 🙃 It’s what the people want.

I am so thankful for people who reach out to ask and all of you who refer people my way. It is SO appreciated! So yes, if you need a card and you don’t want a fun style, just let me know. ☺️
