I’m not usually a ruffles person (although I have probably made that statement too many times now to have it serve as the disclaimer I think it is), but I think this is such a cute pillow for a baby or kids room! The striped version is so sweet too. 

We’re so excited to be participating in the Cup of Jo Spring Market on Saturday April 4th! SO many great brands in one beautiful spot in Brooklyn. You can purchase tickets here! (Tickets are $10 and can be fully redeemed with any vendor.) We’d love to see you there!

Have you had to talk to your kids about death? After a death in our family, my friend sent me this podcast (and article) about just that, and it’s full good tips (like the obvious but good reminder: “death is a part of life”) that were helpful to hear in the context of discussing the topic with our kids, but also for me and the way I think + talk about death. Most notably was the recommendation to be honest + concrete when talking to your kids about death. The person (or pet) did not go to sleep or pass away. They died. I’ve always said “pass away,” and when I think about why that is, I think it’s to protect myself from the very harsh reality of nevermore, never again, gone. Dead. But I can understand how that might be confusing for a child and leave them feeling a little unsettled. It was a good reminder that to be straightforward doesn’t mean to not be compassionate.
