Everyday life is made better by the best things for task at hand. I curate lists of my favorite books, board games, cookbooks, kitchen gadgets, knitting notions, organizing methods, and more with one goal in mind: to bring a little extra joy and ease to your daily routine.
These are the tools, books, and finds I truly use and love. You’ll find everything from knitting needles to kitchen gear, cozy reads to clever storage solutions. Many items are Amazon-linked, and I only recommend what I’ve tried and truly enjoy.
Whether you’re trying to get organized, find a thoughtful gift, or just treat yourself, these recommendations are practical, meaningful, and designed to make your life more enjoyable. I’ll share everything with you here – tried and true.

Craftsy: I have taken so many great classes to improve my knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving, and dying skills on Craftsy. Follow the link to get a 1 year premium membership for $2.49! (Not a typo.)
Created Colorful: I highly recommend a color analysis before you purchase your next sweater quantity of yarn to be 100% sure your chosen colorway is flattering on you. It’s some of the best money I’ve ever spent. I now have so much more confidence when shopping for anything colorful (yarn, clothes, makeup, home decor). Follow the link or enter KNITRITION for $20 off a virtual color analysis.
Firstleaf: I’ve tried a couple of wine clubs over the years, and this is my favorite. And thanks to their “Wine Print” feature, I now know how to articulate what I like in a wine at restaurants (fruity, medium bodied reds and bright, crisp whites). Follow the link for $15 off a wine club order.
