friday favorites- january 16

January 16, 2026

caravan sonnet- rebecca vandemark  Happy Friday friends!! I hope that you have had a lovely and wonderful week! I know I say this every week, but I am so grateful to spend time with each of you in this sweet space each day. As y'all know, these past couple of weeks have held a LOT for us (you can read more HERE) and I so appreciate prayers for my mom as we approach surgery at the end of January. I will be sharing more soon, but in the meantime I appreciate your love, encouragement, and support during this time!

There has been a LOT of special posts on the blog this week and so I wanted to share them here and thank you for just understanding why today is a bit short and sweet!

First, don't forget that signups for the Map Letter Club for February end in NINE days!!! You can click HERE to sign up! 

In a post this week I talked more about the Map Letter Club, it's history, and the signficance (especially if you have been around the blog since 2014 when the Parcel Post Club started and I had to end it when I was sick). It is such a full circle moment to see The Map Letter Club become what it is! Thank you so much for all of your support! Don't forget - signups for The Map Letter Club for February end January 25th!!

Second, so many of you have been curious about the journey to becoming a Full-Time TPT seller and this week I shared the December update of this dream. These updates are raw, honest, and vulnerable as I make this one of my full-time income streams! 

It is hard to find people who are sharing what this specific journey is like (or they only share once they have made it to a full-time income stream) so I have wanted to do this in the hopes of encouraging others who may be considering starting a Teachers Pay Teachers store or have one and have felt they don't know if it is possible. I did this in November (you can read it HERE) and then wanted to do this for December which I shared this week HERE

You can find the Caravan Sonnet Shoppe on TPT HERE!

Finally, a few additional posts if you from this week:


I hope that you have a wonderful Friday friends! I will see you back here as always on Saturday, but thank you for making this such an incredible space to come to and connect with every single day. In a world that can often feel cruel and harsh, you make this an incredible blessing!!!

The picture from the beginning of this post was taken at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Maine from our New England Winter Road Trip in 2020 (literally right before the world shut down for COVID). The history and story behind it has encouraged me again this week and I wanted to share it here. You can read more about this beautiful place HERE!
