Lilly and I took a trip to A Very Little Bookstore in Summerville over the weekend. It’s one of the cutest little spots and has an excellent curated collection of children’s stories.

Lilly’ wearing TOMS. They’re more than just a pair of shoes because they give back for every pair purchased. Last week I mentioned that TOMS was releasing a collection for Target and that collection is now available! For every TOMS for Target limited edition gift purchased, Target is giving shoes, a blanket, or meals to those in need.

Would you could you carry a wooden bag? I would. BU Wood Handbags available here. Love this little rectangular one, too.

Boden released an activewear line and were kind enough to send me a few pieces to try. They fit nicely, stay in place, and look cute, too!

Okay. So you know how each year J.Crew puts out the bomb gift guide. Well it’s up again. And it’s amazing. So I chose some of my favorites because you can take 25% off your purchase at J.Crew right now and I felt like I had to. And yes, this took as much time as it looks like it took. By the way stuff is already selling out. Crazy! But do you remember how ridiculous it was come December last year when everything you wanted in the size you needed to get it in was already sold out? Not this year, not happening to me again.

So my mind has been on toys lately with Lilly’s birthday earlier this week, Fletcher’s birthday coming up in 2 weeks, and Christmas right around the corner. I have a few years under my belt now as a mom (5!), and it’s easier for me now to predict what my kids would really enjoy and what would only keep their attention for a few minutes. For instance, Lilly spends a lot of time every day working on art projects. Her favorite materials include crayons, markers, and tape. Yes, tape. You know, the fun washi kind that we like, too! She puts it on many of the pictures that she draws and then hangs her artwork with it all over our home. She uses it as bandages on her dolls. She even makes jewelry with it. So with that in mind I know that this Tape Caddy (60 rolls!) or this Tape Party Kit would be a smart gift choice. I found them both in Nordstrom’s Toy Shop. They’ve put together a kid oriented collection of toys that has anything from Frozen items to riders. There are 10 pages worth of ideas over there. Here are a few of my favorites.

We gave one of those air powered soccer disks to my little brother a year or so ago and they’re really cool! And that night vision set… I kind of want that for myself. I’m intrigued. We have jellycat dolls at our house and they are so soft. A good idea for any stuffed animal lover. Also, I’ve seen a lot of ugly karaoke machines in my day (and I was an AVID Singing Machine girl growing up), but this one is worthy of the prettiest playroom.

 

More ideas…

 

 

This post was brought to you by Nordstrom. All opinions, as always, are my own.

A few new things I’m liking a whole lot.

shiny puffer jacket, leather jacketplaid top,

lace maxislub linen tee, phone caselace dress 

 

In love with that plaid top and it’s priced pretty well. And that little lace dress would be a great holiday party dress and is just $100.

 

Oh and also that shiny puffer down coat is 25% off because EVERYTHING is 25% off at JCrew right now.

It’s holiday card time again! I just love this season when my mailbox gets flooded with cute, adorable faces. Don’t you? If you’ve been reading here for awhile then you know that Minted is my favorite card resource. And their new collection is adorable. Here are a few of my favorites.

There are a lot of different ornament style cards, too.

And if you’re super organized, how great would it be to send a holiday booklet card to some of the extra special people on your mailing list? This would make Grandma’s day.

Minted just announced their new matching envelope designs and FREE recipient addressing. Yes please.

They also have a great gift center, too, with calendars and photo collage art among a bunch of other ideas.

MIN-XYH-GCF-007_A_APZI think we are going to do this Aglow holiday card from their foil pressed collection. And right now you can take 10% – 20% off your order!
