trendy ties + dapper dudes
Since our boys are a little too young for official school photos, we thought it would be fun to snap a few formal pictures of them to mark this year in their lives. A picture to send to grandparents, far away cousins, and even to frame for their dads’ desks at work. Trendy Ties sent these gorgeous thick cotton adjustable ties to help them look extra handsome, and all the sudden look like grown-ups! We also wanted a little card to send with the pictures, and if you’re interested it’s available for free download at the end of this post. We … Read more
ballet flats 3 ways
Nothing gives us greater craft-joy then upgrading simple basics. Today we tried out three simple techniques to give your girl (or your) flats a little extra something. We snagged these at H&M, but Joe Fresh has some perfect ones here, too. Here’s what you’ll do: DIPPED // For the asymmetrical gold dipped flats, all you need is painter’s tape and gold spray paint! Tape of your desired design and then cover the rest of the shoe with paper towel to avoid getting any over-spray. Let each coat dry, we only needed two, and then remove the tape! Easy, right? CONFETTIED … Read more
the look for less
One thing we all enjoy about fashion is spotting a killer look and then finding it in our own price range. Our very favorite designers and brands all have their own less expensive copy-catters and isn’t there so much more satisfaction knowing you did the same for less? We wanted to challenge ourselves to do the same for our kiddos. Here’s what we found for GIRLS: THE LOOK: Anchor T-shirt via J.Crew $26 // Microbe blazer $118 // Polka Dot denim via Hanna Andersson $46 // Stuart Weitzman Glitter Flats $68 FOR LESS: Osh Kosh B’Gosh Anchor T $8 // Tommy Girl blazer$44 … Read more
free your moves
When Nike approached us about collaborating on the “Free Your Moves” campaign and designing the Free 5.0s with the Nike iD system for our kids we were thrilled! The concept immediately conjured thoughts of living room dance parties with our boys. When we can all let loose and be silly and not worry about who’s watching or what they’re thinking. Thankfully our boys don’t have much of that self-consciousness yet, which is such a great daily reminder to be more like them! They are constantly pulling out hilarious dance moves, stalls, kicks, and spins during these sessions and we thought … Read more

leanne barlow [giveaway!]
We’ve talked about the mom uniform, or “Mamattire” as we call it, a couple times before (see here, here and here) but today we’re switching it up and showing four ways to dress up one simple wardrobe necessity: the maxi skirt! We love clothing designer, Leanne Barlow’s version because it has a slight flare making it that much easier to run and play with your littlest buddies, yet its fit is flattering and high quality enough to last you all day and then head out for a little-buddy-free night on the town. Even better, its stretch allows wear during pregnancy (see … Read more

It’s usually about this time each year where the consistent 100+ degree days start to wear on us and the back to school supplies start to fill the aisles of our grocery stores that we get that familiar craving for Fall.

Polish brand Czesiouciuch is quickly becoming our go-to for the upcoming cooler temperatures. Pronounced “Tche-seeo-chookh” (we’re still not super clear on it, either) and filled with ultra-hip unisex pieces that are unbelievably high quality. Quinn … Read more

Geggamoja is a Swedish brand that we have fallen head over heels for. Run by two mothers, made with sustainable or organic materials and produced responsibly, they are speaking our love language on every level. Their mission is simple, they want to bring that (at times) brutal honesty that kids do so well, and applying it to their business practices. They don’t worry about what will sell next season, they just make what they know their kids will love. What we know is that each piece is incredibly soft, with a durability that is hard to find in stores, with … Read more
