Sometimes, when Sam is out Ubering, they come across an area that just makes them feel like they're back in , surrounded by farmland and fields. This was one of those times.

The sun was out, with just a few clouds, and the temperature was perfection. The slight breeze and the birds made it all feel with a touch of .

Honestly, Polgara, you make it so difficult to finish projects when you decide to nap on them ALL DAY! You're just too cute to move! 😻

Our , Polgara, has a sixth sense. When I don't feel well, he yells at me until I lay or sit down. Then, he puts himself on the location of the problem, then purrs himself to sleep. He often does this when my acts up to get me to lay down.

Today, though, he's working overtime. It seems as though I might have instead of , so Polgara is acting as my heating pad right where my cramps are....

I freakin' love this cat. 🖤

Love,

So, Sam's favorite flower are roses (also Black Eyed Susan's, and also Butterfly Bushes). Roses are NOT Shay's - but they made Sam their own little rose garden for one of their first anniversaries.

🌼 Lovelies, we have something special for you.
Our handmade bath sets are here — just in time for Mother's Day or a spring birthday. Every single piece is made by hand, including the cold-pressed soaps. Nothing mass produced. Nothing without intention.
Everything we make at The Coterie is crafted with kindness and a little magic woven in — encouraging whoever receives it to slow down, soften, and take care of themselves for once.
Because they deserve it. And so do you. 🌿

Every Saturday (as life allows), my youngest and I go to a local cafe to have breakfast and coffee (or chocolate milk) and read books.

It started as a bribe. I buy her a pastry, and she reads to earn it. It's now become a routine. I don't always join her in reading (sometimes I have to do other things), but she always reads. It's been so amazong to see her grow, and to see her book choices evolve.

So, on this lovely Saturday morning, what are you reading? (And, if you wanna share, whatcha drinking?)

Lily is reading "The Taylors" and drinking chocolate milk. I'm reading "Dungeons and Drama" and drinking an iced Carmocha with Oatmilk!

Mother's Day is coming, lovelies — and we're celebrating ALL of them.

Your mom. Your kids' mom. Your second mom. The team mom, the plant mom, the cat mom, the dog mom. The work mom, the mom friend, the teacher mom, the classroom mom. The drag mom, the foster mom, the step mom, the adopted mom. The scout mom, the cool mom, the ADHD mom.
If they've shown up for someone with love — they count.

Treat the mom in your life to something from our Bath & Body collection. Because they deserve something just for them. 🌿
