May, one of my favorite times of year. The weather is finally turning and we are celebrating, graduations, and moms! While I do love the gift of brunch and a massage, sometimes you ned something wrapped. We are sharing 10 items to make mom’s day a little brighter.

It’s so refreshing to get out from behind the computer screen and hit some actual stores. Grand Rapids has so many lovely shops and talented makers it feels god to spend some money and feed the local community.

I can’t let this tradition slide, time to share my wish list. It’s usually a mix of home, fashion and always a couple of tools I noticed I need throughout the year.

My first gift guide this season is for the curious and creative kid! Of course my kids have a list full of items from big box stores, with commercial characters, but I like to supplement those wishlists with toys and games that evoke curiosity and creativity. I poked around some of my favorite shops for some surprise, out of the box ideas for the kiddos.
