Dempsey got a @makeafort for Christmas and we are having THE MOST FUN!!! I might be enjoying it as much as (or perhaps more than?) he is! We made a “sleeping fort” and I may or may not have taken over and read in there one day while he was at school 🤣 It just seemed like a crime for it to not be enjoyed in the middle of the day 🤪

I’m on a mission to find wonder at every turn and, to me, this counts 🥰 Little joys are everywhere if you look for them!

How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art hou How absolutely PRECIOUS is this treehouse/ art house in my friend’s backyard? 🥰 She turned it into the bar for a bridal shower and it was so perfectly whimsical! ✨ (This was from October, but I realize I never shared. It’s too good not to!) 

Don’t think I haven’t been thinking about how/where I can add stairs to our tree house to create a similar vibe! 😆

Not only do I love the look and feel of this thing, but daisies always remind me of my college/early post grad alter ego, Daisy Buchanan. 🤣 Sometimes I’d go with Penny Lane, then *other* times I’d swap it up with Penny Buchanan or Daisy Lane, just for fun! Did anyone else use an inaccurate name back in the day? There were just sometimes when I really didn’t want that weirdo at Club Fire to know who I actually was, ya know? 🔥😂

I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL week!! Xo!
