My Favorite Things | GIANT List of Recommendations


Since y’all won’t be hearing from me after this month (*sadness*), I figured I’d do something fun and offer a GIANT list of recommendations encompassing everything from sheet music to my trusty tortilla blanket. :)

  I’m usually pretty skeptic of bloggers offering boatloads of recommendations, since many are clearly just in it to earn a commission from affiliate links.  However, I decided early on that I did not want to do affiliate links, so this is a totally honest, no-strings-attached post full of all the recommendations I can think of!  If you are interested in knowing what sorts of things caught my eye or brought me smiles throughout the years, here you go!
