Books

I’ve tried to be mindful of Piper’s book collection since I started registering when I was pregnant by including books that show the diverse world that we live in. It’s important to us that she realizes at a young age that we all have different skin tones and colors. I was listening to a podcast interview […]

To be honest, I’m still working on my summer reading list — I’ve got into the bad habit of bringing my laptop to bed to work on sourcing products & design inspiration for our home renovations. I’ll stay up for hours searching for the perfect tile or wallpaper and this week I decided to nix […]

Growing up my mom (who happens to be a teacher) instilled a love for books in my sister and I from a very early age.
