Summary: The Kova by Albany Park hits all the right notes — nontoxic, sustainably made, super versatile, and genuinely comfy. I love that it’s modular enough to grow with my family (hello, future playroom reconfigurations), and the setup was a total breeze. Plus, whether I’m curled up with a book or cuddling with my family in front of a movie, it always feels like a cozy little cloud. Stylish, supportive, and safe? Big yes from me. Shape-shift magic: Classic sofa? L-shape? Full-on cozy pit?

Summary: The Sundays Form Coffee Table has been the perfect addition to our home — it’s solid oak, beautifully made, and the rounded corners feel especially thoughtful with a baby on the way. It came in just three pieces (bless) and took us maybe five minutes to put together, which felt like a small gift in a very full season. Yes, it’s an investment and definitely heavy, but it’s one of those pieces that grounds the room and makes everyday moments feel a little more intentional.

Summary: After years of dealing with a secondhand bed frame that was literally held together by wires, transitioning to Thuma‘s sustainably crafted bed frame has been a dream. With its eco-friendly materials, easy setup, and stylish underbed storage, it has transformed our bedroom into a more functional and serene space. Over a month later, it’s still one of our favorite pieces of furniture.

My mother always called it discernment. Not just intuition. Not a fleeting hunch. But something deeper — quieter. A felt sense that settled in the body like truth. Even as a child, I couldn’t lie — not well, anyway. My cheeks would flush, my throat would tighten, and some invisible force would well up inside me, resisting the distortion of what was real. If I managed to go through with it, I’d usually come clean within the hour. Not out of guilt, exactly, but because something felt off and misaligned.

“I’m just going to close my eyes for a minute,” I told myself at seven weeks pregnant. It was a Wednesday afternoon, halfway through the workweek, and I had a meeting in thirty minutes. Normally, I would take a quick walk to reset, maybe pour another cup of coffee. But my body was heavy with exhaustion in a way I had never known. Even my bones felt tired. I set my alarm, curled up on the couch, and promised myself ten minutes. Just a quick nap to recharge.
