Buy Sight, Give Sight.
Have you guys heard of Jonas Paul Eyewear? Think Warby Parker for kids mixed with the philanthropic element of Toms. This company has taken a page out of WP’s book and created home try-on kits for kids. I love this idea for kids in particular because they have a week to wear, and get used to a pair of glasses before committing. The specs are super stylish and affordable. But the best part is, for every pair of glasses you buy, a pair of glasses will be given to a child in need.
They even sell accessories that your kids will love, like this braille “love” band. It provides 1 week of clean water to someone in need as well as one year of Vitamin A supplements to a disadvantaged child.
I’m actually super-bummed that my kids don’t need glasses (yet.) But if yours do- have fun!

Etsy Love.
I recently stumbled upon the Etsy shop of Lily and Val– and instantly fell in love! This Wildflower print is a definite fave.
Every print is so whimsical and beautifully drawn. There is one for everyone- This one’s for the baker.
Words that are so true.
One of our favorite sayings.
Perfect for a kitchen.
For the one with wanderlust.
For the one who likes to have fun.
And lastly, one for the little ones.
Check out all of Lily and Val’s work here.

Halloween Costumes.
As mothers we learn from our mistakes, right? I am a repeat offender of waiting too long to get my kids’ Halloween costumes and having to pull something together at the last minute. It’s super stressful. I know it sounds crazy, but if you have not hit the “checkout” button by Oct 1, in most cases you are screwed. This is not my first Halloween rodeo. With almost a dozen Halloweens under my belt, I am finally learning my lesson. Costumes are purchased and on their way! I suggest you do the same before all of the good ones are gone. 😉 Here are a few of my faves.
