How’s your summer going? Can you believe July is nearly over? I’ve gotta get in my sunny days in while I can!
Here are some things I’m loving right now…
1. This baby shower tablecloth is so cute.
2. I must have this gold {temporary} tattoo.
3. Chocolate potato chips? Yes please!
4. I adore this 40th birthday. It gives me ideas for a future party for my hubby…
5. Tiny gift parade. {this has made the rounds, but I love gifts!}
6. Candy necklace napkin ring. So colorful and fun for summer.
What are you loving this summer?
Speaking of gifts… I remember reading awhile back (probably on a blog) about a new mom, home on maternity leave with her new baby, asking for books to read while breastfeeding. As sometimes the baby will feed for hours at a time, she was looking for ways to entertain herself beyond social media and reality tv marathons. Being a big reader myself, I found this to be an interesting and thoughtful gift idea and stored it away.
I recently had a chance to try it out, as a friend had the good timing to have her baby exactly a week before we planned to see her. We were able to see her, her new baby girl– and the amount of down time she had those first few days. We certainly wanted to get her something to celebrate the baby’s arrival — and maybe we saw her on a day that she was feeling stir-crazy, but she seemed excited by the idea of some books.
I sent her 3 of some of my recent favorites– The Signature of All Things, The Language of Flowers, and Cutting for Stone. All paperbacks, to make it a bit lighter to balance. Hopefully she will enjoy them and find this to be a useful gift.
Moms, any feedback or thoughts on this gift?

I love giving gifts. It’s so much fun to find the perfect item for someone, just the thing that they need or want. For special occasions, I find that personalized gifts that commemorate the moment can become the most meaningful items to share. Living overseas, it can be hard to to provide these kind of thoughtful gifts– so thank goodness for shopping online!
Uncommongoods is now offering handmade and personalized gifts, making it so much easier for me to find the perfect gift for friends and family. From jewelry to entertaining items, home decor to slippers, you can find something for everyone. Just check out some of these items…
1. I met 4 new babies while I was home in the US. These pillows would have been perfect gifts for those families.
2. These shark slippers make me laugh. These would be great for a nephew or a brother.
3. I love this personalized couple/family art. So cute and good for any stage of life.
4. This handmade basket is just plain cool.
One of my favorite followers on Twitter asked for some party ideas for her 3 year old’s birthday. This little lady loves Disney’s Frozen (I mean, really, who doesn’t?), so I put together a party that I’d like to attend!
1. Some cute movie ticket invites {free printables!}
2. I like this marshmallow topiary. And naturally, styrofoam snowmen would be welcome.
3. These would be adorable give aways.
4. A plastic snow globe would be a fun and easy activity for little hands.
5. Flowers {and snowflakes} always add. {I’d probably use mums}
6. The name just asks for frozen treats– snow cones, popsicles, ice cream. As long as it’s blue!
7. These simple decorations {but still cute!} in the blue color story will allow you to create consistency, without being too theme-y.
Let us know how it goes!
