The last full month of Summer 2026 is just about wrapped up! 🌞 This August, we surfed with Cove, went to the boardwalk with Derek, and sat on the beach in a three piece suit with Baxter. But most importantly, we worked hard on Our Life: Now & Forever! 💕

Three new items have just flown in via paper airplane! 💨 Well, one of them is the paper airplane. 😅 It’s a Moment Icon, while the pins and phone case are event cut-ins. Let's hear it for that stationary! It's just so whimsical.

This field trip just keeps getting more dreamy! 🌅 🌾 Here's the latest background for the Step 2 Moment, Field Trip. This one arrives during sunset — you must be there for a quite a while. And look, there are cups and a container on the table now. What’s about to happen here? 🍎

One of our Patrons, Kira, has re-created the Baumann's front entryway in The Sims! How extremely adorable. We studied up on Simlish to say, "Sul sul, Kira! Blarffle wibba flibbertigibbet, mibbsy wibba dag dag."

You thought you'd get out of running the mile in our cute immersive interactive fiction game?! WRONG ❌ Pick your favorite mid 2000s bop, grab your headphones, and get to jogging. It's only three laps, right? 😭

Classy, well-decorated, and full of character, it's... the Baumann house! Here's their Step 2 front hallway at night, candy bowls and all. Who else is obsessed with the wallpaper?? 🌹

Howdy, everyone! Today is usually the day where I remind you of GB's upcoming Q&A. However, she is currently recovering from surgery and will not be able to take part this month. But, there is good news: I have July's public Patreon Q&A available! Hopefully this will scratch your Q&A itch for now 🥰

We're honored (and humbled 😉) to announce that Our Life: Beginnings and Always has been included in a new @humblebundle.com set: Handsome Husbandos! 🎉 For a limited time, you can pick up the OLBA DLC Pack and several other immersive narrative games for $18!

A new background from the Step 2 Moment "Field Trip" has arrived on the farm 🌾 ...What kind of farm? How far away are we from Golden Grove? And WHAT is in those buckets? More info to come 🧑‍🌾 🍎

Earlier this summer, we released two ORCA themed merch items! ORCA is an organization very close to Cove's heart. We felt it was only appropriate to donate a portion of those earnings (10%) to the real-life ORCA: The Ocean Research and Conservation Association. 🫍

Eggs AND toilet paper?! Hooligans of Golden Grove, HAVE MERCY!! Here's a new sneak peek of a cut-in from Scares and Sweets. I wonder who could've /possibly/ thrown these... 😏
