Patriotic Pinterest

I can't bake. 
But I sure can copy images off of Pinterest to share some Labor Day inspired desserts.
Aren't these pretty!?
Thank you Pinterest for making today's post so easy!

Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone! 

Off to the Races! Wine Included!

State Fairs have put me in the festival mood.
Here are just two festivals that scream fun.

So, who is with me!?
A trip to the UK anyone!?

Besides the known Aspen Food and Wine, where are we all dying to go?!

Fall Shopping Continued

I realize that my last edition was very boy-heavy, so here is the girl's version of my favorite pre-Autumn finds.

I must admit, however, it was very hard to scale down this list, so this is abbreviated.

 There are so many cute girl's clothes...

Happy Shopping!

Hanna Anderson always carries the best tights and dress combos. Here are just a few:

Mix and match a million combos:

And awesomely adorable boots + shoes:

And Boden, of course:

And the reliably preppy J.Crew:



I wish they made these in my size! 


And, my favorite, Tea Collection:

These shoes!

I could shop for hours. 
Thank goodness I don't have a little girl.
I would be so broke.

Happy Shopping Everyone!
Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday!

Every season needs an anthem.

Personally, it is hard to compete with Will Smith's 'Summertime,' but I predict this song below, especially with the video, will be a college anthem for years to come.

Thank you Rence + Beck for turning me onto this. 

Hysterically catchy.

Did they make this video at Hobart?! 

I can swear that I recognize some of these people....

For those of you returning to school within the next week, this song goes out to you, as us old-folks sit, reminisce, and live vicariously through you...and dance...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Have a really, really, really good time!

Fall Shopping Begins!

I don't want to rush the wane of summer, however I cannot resist the croppings of great Fall items for our little ones. 
Check out a few of my faves:

Jackson Pollock and Vincent VanGogh Inspired Backpacks:

Great Kicks with Interchangeable Laces:

My Go-To Pants for my son since he was an infant. 

Super soft, comfortable, easy to pull on and off (great for potty situations), and they wash and recover like a dream:
(Expensive, but worth the price)

Great end of summer t-shirts, long sleevers and sweatshirts from Crewcuts:

And, as always, of course, Boden favorites:

Happy shopping everyone, and 
stay tuned for more girl-friendly items (sorry I am a little biased).

Also, if you have any favorite sites for our little ones, pass them along!

Shoppy Shoppy!
