little things : little summer shoes

onshoes

Wolf has been pretty picky about his clothes lately.  he doesn’t hesitate to tell me “I don’t like it” when I try to put my favorite little shirts on him.  I had no idea the opinions were going to start so soon!  so during a trip to Old Navy this past weekend, Wolf fell pretty hard for these little shoes.  he wanted them in every color but we settled on the bright blue.  they’re really similar to the Native Miller shoes he’s already got but at a much better price point.  I think I might get him the red, too!

52 weeks of Wolf : 19.52 + the view from 36 inches

I’m excited to share with you two videos of Wolf today along with our usual weekly photo.  this past month, I partnered with Seventh Generation for their Campaign for a Toxin-Free Generation.  the campaign is designed to celebrate how liberating life can be without toxins, not only for us as parents but especially for those little guys.  you know, the ones that are 36 inches tall.

Seventh Generation offers truly effective home, body and baby care products that are free of parabens, 1,4-dioxane, or other concerning ingredients.  and if you’re a parent of a toddler, you know good and well that life can get pretty messy and involve lots of clean up.  it’s comforting to know that the products I’m using to clean our home {or Wolf for that matter} are safe and toxin-free.

Seventh Generation invited me to participate in their campaign and sent us a GoPro camera to get a glimpse of life from Wolf’s view at 36 inches.  we got outside.  we rode bikes rather than driving.  we let him get dirty.  and we lived toxin-free.  I hope you enjoy!

would you like to participate too?  post a video or photo of your kids being kids and Seventh Generation will donate $1 in your name to Women’s Voices for the Earth (WVE)*.  WVE strives to create a world in which everyone lives in a healthy environment, free from chemicals of concern. *up to $15,000

little things : ace & jig kids

Ace & Jig kids / Unruly Things

you guys, I am so excited about the kids collection from Ace & Jig that I just couldn’t wait until my regular little things day and had to share it with you immediately.  mini baja hoodies?  little boardwalk dresses?  comfy rolled pants?  it’s just too much.

I just love that photo of Cary and Jenna, the ladies {and mamas} behind Ace & Jig, with their kiddos.  super cute, right?

the first collection is hitting stores this summer.

little things : balance bike or scooter?

heritage-bikes

a certain someone will be turning two in just two short months.  while we plan his party, we’re also thinking about what will be the perfect gift.  we’ve had a toss up between a balance bike, a scooter and a regular trike.  all seem like they’d be great and develop lots of different skills so we’re torn.  I’ve gone back and forth from a balance bike to a trike about five times already!  and a scooter just seems like so much fun.

here’s a few we’re looking at:
