Current Favorite Kid Clothing: Misha Lulu

 
It is no secret I cannot get enough of the fashion brand Misha Lulu. Here are just a few reasons why.
 


If these items were hanging in my children's closets I would have quite a lot of fun! I like how their designs have a touch of quirk and vintage to them while remaining fresh and new. Someday I will bite the bullet and purchase a few of their items...but until then cheers to online closets:)
 
You can check
 out all their items here. The above images were taken from their website.

Purple Beans

It all started with a lovely little surprise from an old friend I worked with 6 years ago.
 


 

 






So incredibly delicious! We ate half the bag and I cannot wait to enjoy the other half soon. What a gift to have friends who are willing to share the fruits of the labor with us. Thank you Loretta...we loved your purple beans!

Super Skinny Eye Marker

I am all over the place with lining my eyes. Sometimes I love a liner, sometimes I like shadow, sometimes I want nothing. When I want a liquid liner this has been my recent go to. It is as easy to use as a marker, which helps when lining one's eye since it is not an easy feat. Well priced and long lasting (unless you plan on crying) this one is pretty good overall.
 


You can find this at your local Ulta or online here.

Wheaton's French Market

    When Saturdays are free and unplanned (a rare and beautiful treat) around here we often wander over to our local French Market. I had a vision of me pouring over each stand, smelling the countless bunches of flowers, purchasing little cartons of berries, grabbing a hot coffee and walking home feeling very "French" indeed. In reality it went nothing like that at all. This week it was whining kids (actually just one, who kept reminding me it was not fun for him to be doing this) hot weather and overcrowded aisles. If my little family of five stopped for one minute it felt like a tidal wave of people were pushing us onward, either with their bodies or their glares. Not the best time I have ever had. But, but, we did get some delicious doughnuts and that must count for something!












 
 
Once again, doughnuts saved the day...I mean look at those faces:)
