ON MY RADAR 1.23.26

We, like a lot of the country, are gearing up for a big snowstorm this weekend. I’m curious if we’ll get as much snow as they’re projecting. We ordered a few more sleds to share with the neighbors and stocked up on essentials…. ready for soup, crafts, movies, and sledding!

Here’s what has been on my radar this week:

ONE // Cute Paper Plates

These paper plates are so gorg. Perfect for Galentine’s parties or any other hosting you might have up your sleeve. I like using paper plates when we have kids over especially because it’s just safer (and easier) but it’s always fun to have some cuter options on hand.

TWO // The Novels Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2026

With my afternoon cup coffee in hand, I sat down on the couch and got cozy with my Goodreads account on my iPad and pulled this article up to read about all the upcoming books for 2026. I got soooo excited. Love keeping my Goodreads fresh and I’m looking forward to a lot of these books!

THREE // Why Children’s Literature Matters

What a beautiful speech from Penelope Lively on why children’s literature matters ahead of the inaugural Children’s Booker Prize. She’s actually the only author to win both the Booker Prize (Moon Tiger) and the Carnegie Medal for children’s writing (The Ghost of Thomas Kempe).

FOUR // Valentine’s Day Pajamas

Not that you need more pajamas or holiday specific pajamas… but if you did…. I have two super cute options for you. I really love this long sleeve/short printed pajamas set from Lake– the blue hearts are adorable and really will work year round (so it doesn’t feel like “holiday pajamas”). And then don’t sleep– lol– on Minnow Swim’s pajamas. They’re so comfortable and extremely soft. These little blue hearts are precious.

FIVE // Framebridge’s Valentine’s Day Collection

As always, Framebridge has done such a beautiful job with this Valentine’s Day collection. I have, and love, this desktop puffy frame. It’s priced perfectly for a cute gift– would be fun to do this for your BFF for Galentine’s Day! And then I also am OBSESSED with the colorblock frame. Chic!

I’ve been having a major case of the Februarys… but hopefully seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. That is, if we don’t
