Llama Llove
There was a time in my life that I did not like llamas. I was taking care of some for a family friend and, well, they started spitting at me. Continually. And I screamed and ran and begged a friend to come feed the llamas for me. Ever since then, I swore off the llamas. Until this kids book came around and I started reading it with my girls.

Then my idea of llamas turned around.
Because there really is something to llove about the llama.

Dear Santa...
We hate to interrupt this time of thanks and giving {really, let's stick to Thanksgiving right now if we can}...but, we wanted to give everyone a heads up on the deadline for North Pole Postmarks. Requests must be received in North Pole, Alaska by December 10th. So after your kids eat their fare share of turkey and pie, they can start working on their letter to Mr. {and Mrs.} Claus!

Left Brain :: Right Brain
{via}
We love this ad from Mercedes-Benz. While Amy would say she is Right Brain and Erin would say she is Left Brain, truthfully, you have to be a bit of both to operate a small business. Especially a small business in the stationery and design world. Where creativity triumphs but business acumen spells success. We like to think that the two of us together simply comprise the best "brain" behind the business. We know exactly who we are and we are everything we wanted to be.
Good Morning Weekend, Goodnight iPad?!
That's right. Goodnight iPad. It might be time to update your child's bookshelf with this parody on Goodnight Moon.
Dubbed as, "a parody for the next generation" this book still pays homage to the original (take a peek at the end). And truthfully, this book is not all that much different from some households at the end of the day. You, and maybe even your kids, will get a good laugh - and a reminder to put down the electronics every once in a while. We are adding this one to our must read list. Just not sure how often we should expect updates?!?

Laughing is not optional - it is mandatory.
Now there. Don't you feel better?
Murmuration
Some days leave us lacking a creative energy. A loss of movement or motion forward. But this video inspires us. Reminds us of the natural beauty and inspiration surrounding us every day. And if we were ever so lucky to encounter a murmuration as in this video, we would be privy firsthand to the amazing and magical capabilities of what naturally surrounds us.
Thank you to Sarah Beth Brown for sharing this with us. Amazing.
