Happy Weekend!

Happy weekend everyone! Are your kids back in school yet? We’re headed back so soon and I can’t believe it. We also have some fun trips coming up, NYC and Mexico (CDMX & SMA) and I’m really excited to get some travel in.

I also wanted to let you all know, that I’m going to be taking a bit of a break. I guess you could call it a sabbatical but that makes it sound like I have my act together and I most certainly do not ha.

I’m going to be signing off of social media for a month or two. Just need some time to clear my head, focus on some other priorities and frankly figure out what’s “next” for me. This industry has changed SO much in the last year, as I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of creators/bloggers/influencers talk about recently, and I’m still figuring out how to navigate that.

There will still be some posts going up on the blog, but I won’t be doing my happy weekend posts here and I won’t be on Instagram! Excited, and very nervous, about a break. But I’ll check back in as soon as I’m ready! In the meantime, some final links for you (for now)! Thank you, as always, for your support!

It is devastating to watch the fires destroying Maui right now. There are so many fundraisers to donate to but a place I always recommend is World Central Kitchen, who work to bring meals to those directly affected by natural disasters and tragedies and are currently on the ground working to do so in Hawaii.

Jeff launched a new print shop! So proud!!

These stepping stones for kids are SO COOL. Dying to get a set for A! Great holiday gift, folks!!

LA Folks, LA parks & rec has opened (and is in the process of opening more) several FREE or low cost/subsidized preschools across the county! Pass it on so more people can learn about this opportunity for childcare for children ages 2-6!

Sorry, never gonna not link this red striped magical home every time I see it.

Ok maybe I want to wear this dress to one of our upcoming weddings!? (More options here, too!)

Babaa summer sale ends Monday! Stock up for winter (or end of summer/fall honestly, I wear their cotton ones year round!).

On BOARD with all these trends! Been considering contrast piping for our dining nook bench seat!

Every word of this about how large the LGBTQ+ community is, puts so much into perspective for those who use that as their argument against LGBTQ rights legislation. Some very important talking points in there to take in.
