The 4th book in the Crowns of Nyaxia book: The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk comes out on August 5, 2025, so I figured I would write a complete summary if you read The Songbird and the Heart of Stone a while back and need a little refresher. The first book of the Crowns of Nyaxia book: The Serpent…

I recently have been working on creating my son’s big boy room! We were ready to move him out of his nursery and into a bigger room that he could grow into. I had asked my Instagram followers if I should do board and batten, a chair rail, or beadboard and board and batten won! I thought it would be…

I love the primitive, natural look of decorating with dried oranges for the holidays! Whether it’s hung like garland, strung for ornaments, or made in to a cool wreath (like this!), I love it all. Plus it’s perfect for garnish in a holiday cocktail! If you’re trying to come up with an inexpensive gift exchange gift, you could add some…

I have had the opportunity to read some STELLAR romance books this year and I can now add Just for the Summer to that list! I reviewed The Paradise Problem about a month ago and it was a 5 star book like this one. I haven’t had such luck with romance books in a while, but this one is seriously…

The past few months have been SO funny with my Mr. Toad videos going kind of viral! One of my videos about decorating the tree got like 700k views on TikTok back in July. In about August (I think), I got an email from a producer at The Dodo wanting to feature my videos about Mr. Toad. I worked with…
