Post image for Ivey and her Super Cute Stripe Straw Sunhat

Ivey recently received several clothing items from her Great Grandma as a birthday gift. One of these items is this striped straw sunhat from Gymboree. It is currently on sale for only $6.99 and I am tempted to purchase the next size up so she can enjoy it next year as well.

Not only is it more stylish than a baseball cap but it provides better sun protection for her neck and ears.

Because it is made out of straw her head stays cool and she actually keeps it on!

Does your little peanut wear hats? If so, what are your favorites?

Post image for The Faces of Tomorrow Necklace is Perfect for EVERYONE

I have gotten a few questions about who should wear this necklace. Is it for moms? Your kids? Pets? Well the answer is- for EVERYONE (if you are willing to attach it to Scruffy’s collar!). I specifically designed this necklace to make it an easy wear for anyone who supports a good smile. Being 16 inches, it’s the perfect, versatile length.

I had a model casting… and a few of my friends and neighbors were kind enough to do a little modeling for me… here’s what came about:

How cute is this necklace on this toddler? She loved it so much she didn’t want to take it off!

Can you imagine your daughter wearing this necklace to the first day of Kindergarten? I sure can.

This necklace is still cool and hip enough for those hard to please teenagers!

And as a mom, it is also perfect for YOU. When was the last time you actually treated yourself to something special?

This necklace was specifically designed for Faces of Tomorrow and includes:

  • a sterling silver 16 inch ball chain with clasp
  • a dime sized disk hand-stamped with the word “smile.”
  • a butterfly charm to represent the transformation these surgeries provide
  • a 4mm white glass pearl bead to symbolize a pearly white smile along with several smaller seed beads to add additional detail.

This is a limited edition piece, and will only be sold from Monday, June 21 until Wednesday, June 30. This necklace sells for $40 and 100% of the proceeds will go to FOT – that’s $20 a necklace!! The proceeds go directly to the charity- OpenSky doesn’t see a dime, and I don’t see a penny- just some more happy kids on this planet!

Buy this necklace and together we can help Faces of Tomorrow fulfill their mission by providing free medical and surgical processes to children with facial deformities around the world.

Behind the Seams at TJ Maxx with Alison Deyette

June 5, 2010

II recently attended a “blogger junket” at TJ Maxx. Since the San Francisco TJ Maxx is less than a mile from my house I felt like it was kismet. It was held first thing in the morning (thankfully they served us coffee) and its goal was to show us why off-price retailers are a better way to shop.

The Morelle Truffle: Gorgeous in Green and Perfect in Purple

October 30, 2009

It is no secret that I am crazy about the Truffle Bag by morelle (see my Lovely in Lilac post from last month). It meets all my criteria for a good bag. It is handmade, colorful, functional, large enough to double as a diaper bag and yet sturdy enough to hold a laptop.
