"I'm wearing this exact outfit on the first day of school!" Greenlea said after we took these (adorable) pictures of her and her brother.
I had to pat myself on the back because I have been striking out when it comes to picking out her...

We love a high-top in this house. Having grown up seeing my stepdad rocking a pair of classic white Converse Chuck Taylors and then later adopting the look myself, it's so fun to see that I've successfully passed on my appreciation of them to my own kids.
I guess...

Fair to say, this past year and a half has been one of change for everyone. For my family, it’s been that and more...spending all of 2020 at home, welcoming a new addition to our family, and watching my mini evolve into a little person who loves school.

My eldest, Vivi, is eight and a half and has never been a super "girly girl" when it comes to fashion. She ripped bows out of her hair as a baby. She hates anything tight or sequined (too itchy). She's the reserved one, as opposed to her often pants-less, free-loving younger sister.
It's becoming increasingly hard to find clothing...
We get asked quite often around here for more tween and teen coverage. I cannot pretend to know what teens would actually like to wear for back-to-school these days, but my fab intern Nova does!
Nova put together some rad outfits that we then pulled into a bit of a capsule wardrobe for teens who gravitate towards mostly black...
I LOVE summer and all the freedom (and ice cream) it offers, but I am the first to admit...by the end of August, I am SO ready to put an end to my kids' late nights, terrible eating, and general chaos our summers devolve in to. Routines calm me.
Yes, Shana...roll those eyes and give me a big "I want...
This mama has always adored picking out rad clothes for my girlie. It's been fun because she's only just now, at 8-years-old, started to have strong opinions about what she wears...and thankfully that still includes a love for great prints and bold colors. Yay!

I've always felt that excitement for the beginning of the school year, but this year -- this year -- is special. Last year we took Greenlea's first day of school picture on the front steps, her holding her laptop, ready to start first grade and then opened...
One of the ways I find most helpful to start meaningful discussions with my children about topics such as ethnicities, cultures, religions, equity, etc., is through literature. Often books find the words that my normally verbose self lacks. I try to be intentional about what I'm reading with my children and how characters are portrayed.

If you, like me, have completely stepped over to the dark side in allowing (and even encouraging!!) tech toys on road trips, read on. If you have young kids who you’re trying to keep off devices in the car, because they turn into screen-time monsters (like mine did for SOOOOOOO many years), stop reading this post immediately! Take a...
