also wanted to share a few new favorite things we discovered this month:
— Daily Harvest smoothies (new obsession! you can use my code emi for $25 off a first box…i did a trial and we are hooked!),
— Blue light blocker from Eyejust for my phone and laptop, then also got blue light blocking glasses that were linked on a gift guide and I love! Back at work now I spend a lot of time on the computer and my eyes have been thanking me, especially at night, for less blue light.
— Got this hilarious bib, new from Grabease for our messy eater Claire. It looks a little extreme haha but I love to use it for certain meals- acai bowls, etc. It’s been so nice to just take off and have her clothes and the high chair clean!
— Pulp chips! Found them while doing some work research on sustainable food companies. These are made from leftover juice pulp and delicious…plus I love seeing my girls munch on chips and know that they are made of fruits and vegetables!
— Dotti Shop – Finally got some of my cute college friend’s designed dresses, which are the most darling ever if you have little girls!
