Some of my favorites

LOVEVERY

I hate toys. There, I said it. I don’t think I’m alone in this. There are so many toys that are just plain ugly and take up space. Lovevery provides Montessori style toys for learning and development, and the best part for me is that they are actually cute. I don’t mind that they live on the coffee table or in the corner by the couch. And Daisy loves them. The link below will tell you more, and you can even add it to your registry.

FULL CIRCLE CERAMICS & GIFTS

My mug collection in my classroom is almost exclusively from Full Circle Ceramics. They are the best people and have the best gifts. If you’re a local or visiting Huntington, you must check them out.

WINC WINE MEMBERSHIP

Wine can feel complicated if you don’t know what to look for or what you like. I love getting wine delivered to my house so I can try different blends, wineries, or flavors that I might not try otherwise. When I can’t make it to my local wine bar, Sip, I can sip at home. Use the link below for $30 off of your first order.

HELLOBELLO

I couldn't tell you the last time I went to a store to purchase diapers. Like so many other things in my life, I get them delivered. HelloBello is the creation of Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell (two of my favorite people ever). The diapers and products are eco-friendly, safe, and really freaking cute.

GRINDSTONE COFFEEOLOGY

Grindstone coffee is the best. Hands down. I know everyone has their preference of coffeeshops, but I haven’t met a latte better than theirs in any place I’ve been. Plus, they are just the best people and I love visiting them each week. If you visit, get a donut or cinnamon roll. You won’t regret it.

GOODREADS

As an English teacher, of course I’m always reading. But one thing I try to instill in my students is the love of reading. Every day in class, we read together for 10 minutes. We all read whatever we want. The collective quiet of reading together is incredibly special, and it allows me to dive into stories all day long. Follow me on Goodreads to see what I’m reading!

Peloton App

You probably know where this is going and I will try to keep it brief. I love Peloton rides and everything available on the app. I use it nearly every day. I don’t have a Peloton bike, but I have a fake Peloton set-up. This is possibly the single greatest purchase I’ve made for myself in terms of physical and mental health. If you have questions about my set-up, let me know. You can find more information about Peloton and the app in the link below.
