Crocheting is one of my favorite ways to relax and create beautiful, handmade pieces. But let’s be real—if you’ve ever spent hours hooking away with an uncomfortable tool, you know the hand cramps and frustration are REAL!

That’s why I’m so excited to share my absolute favorite crochet hook set: the Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set. These ergonomic hooks have completely changed my crochet experience, making it so much easier (and less painful) to keep going for hours without discomfort.

If you love adding effortless color transitions to your crochet projects, you need to try gradient yarn skeins! These beauties make even the simplest stitches look advanced, with gorgeous ombre color shifts that wow everyone who sees your work.

One of my favorite finds? Aeelike Fairyland Gradient Yarn Skeins in Purple Gradient - affordable, SUUUPER soft, and perfect for all your fall and winter crochet.

If you’re looking for the perfect summer project that’s stylish, easy to customize, and totally beginner friendly, let me introduce you to my Sunshine State Halter!

As a relatively new Florida transplant, this top was designed with sunny days, sandy toes, and laid-back beach vibes in mind, and is my new go-to for summer. It’s breezy, boho, and completely customizable—perfect for festivals, vacations, or just soaking up sunshine in your backyard.

If you’re feeling the pinch at the grocery store lately (aren’t we all?), meal prepping is one of the easiest ways to take back control of your food budget without sacrificing tasty, nutritious meals.

Okay you guys — I’m OFFICIALLY an Etsy seller!!!

After all the late nights crocheting after my son went to bed, frogging rows (you know the struggle), taking pictures in just the right lighting and still not thinking they’re good enough, writing and rewriting product descriptions, and refreshing my Etsy dashboard…it FINALLY happened! I sold my very first handmade crochet halter top — and I could cry happy tears!

🌞 From sand-between-the-pages fiction to inspiring memoirs, here’s what I’m packing in my beach bag!

There’s just something magical about reading with the sound of waves in the background, the sun warming your skin, and a cold drink (for me an Alani Nu or a non-alcoholic beer) sweating in your hand. This summer, I’ve got five must-reads that are perfect for beach days, solo mom getaways, or those rare quiet moments after your kid has gone to sleep and you should be asleep too but NEED a minute to yourself (IYKYK).

Here are my top 5 beach reads—emotional, escapist, and exactly what your soul needs!

Phew…let me straighten my bun real quick and then let’s get into this!

There’s something truly magical about the rhythm of crochet - the gentle pull of the yarn, the steady motion of the hook, and the quiet sense of accomplishment with every stitch. For me, crocheting isn’t just a hobby or a way to pass the time - it’s my lifeline.

Well, here we are - my very first blog post! If you’re reading this, you’re officially witnessing a major mom win (right up there with eating my meal before it gets cold).

Starting a blog has been on my “someday maybe” list for waaaaay too long.
