I’m so excited to share this Favorite Find with you today! Jessica Angel, owner of Oh So Antsy, and I first met in Salt Lake City during this past January’s Alt Summit Conference – only to find out we live less than 20 minutes away from one another in Seattle. How’s that for a small world? Jessica […]

“New pajamas” and “Christmas morning” go hand-in-hand like “Rudolph” and “Sleigh.” It’s a tradition celebrated by so many. I have one friend who tries her best to hold off buying new pajamas during the late fall for her kids, even if it looks like they’re on the verge of wearing capris to bed. It’s their […]

While in high school my Grandma began a gift tradition, which has turned into an amazing collection. She gave each of us – my sisters and mom, my cousins, aunts, and me – pieces from Department 56 villages. I was given two buildings and few figurines from the Christmas in the City collection. Each following […]

Here are 6 more finds from Etsy and Society6. I’d ask Santa for the wood swing in a heartbeat if we had the right kind of tree in our backyard. 1. This incredibly sweet polar bear print would be perfect in a nursery, young tyke’s bedroom, or playroom. // 2. Are you trying to find a gift for a […]

Aside from the crowds and finding time to do it, I don’t mind […]

A good friend of mine lives far away – 4,826 miles city-to-city to be exact. It’s a bit too far to see if she’s available next Sunday morning for brunch at a local cafe so we can catch-up on life’s happenings. For me, there’s something about sitting down for brunch with a friend that makes […]

Do you know a dad-to-be (or a brand new dad)? Help him celebrate the milestone by giving him a fun and meaningful gift on Father’s Day. I realize a bath toy might seem odd, but bath-time is a great way for Dad to bond with Baby. So without further ado: pick one or two of the below toys (grab the […]

Alright Gang. It’s time to think outside the tie box this Father’s Day. Here are a few ideas to step up your game plan for Dad (or Grandpa, or Uncle Bob…). Get him out of the house! Put tickets in this year’s card for his favorite summer sport, concert, or send him with a group of fellow dads […]

She’s the one fellow mothers look at with understanding. We remember the joys and frustrations having a new baby brings to everyday life. She’s the one, whether it’s her first child or third, that we need to take a moment and smile at her, sincerely congratulating her, for being a fabulous woman. image // gift idea: matching […]
