5 Random Things: November

The last two weeks have been really intense for me with anxiety. I can't 100% put my finger on one specific thing that triggered it but I think it's a mix of the holiday season (I always get anxiety around this time and I actually went back to read this post from last year about how to combat holiday anxiety) mixed with cloudy weather mixed with a fall that Amalia had on our staircase that scared the crap out of me, made me feel like the worst mom in the world, and had me shaking for hours all at the same time.

Sustainable Gifts

My second gift guide is here and every single thing on this list is a sustainable product in one way or another. Whether it's a cashmere sweater made ethically and sustainably or reusable shopping bags that will replace your wrapping paper (and make a cute gift), or a self-cleaning water bottle, I've got all of my favorite sustainable gifts of 2019 on this list.

The Lemon Stripes HERO Blanket

I've been working on this project for a few months now and I'm so proud and excited to be sharing the final product with you today! An adorable gift for kiddos that also provides meals to hungry children around the country. And I had the cutest little model to show it off.

I was first introduced to Orange Lining when my friend Sarah bought one of their HERO blankets as a gift for Amalia.
