fun find :: Fjallraven Kanken Backpacks

Bennett & Scarlett

March 27, 2011

Back in January, the husband and I took a quick weekend trip to San Francisco without the little ones. Since we left the kiddies at home, we wanted to bring them back a little surprise. While shopping in Hayes Valley, we came across these darling little backpacks. According to our friend who is a resident of San Francisco, these backpacks were also the new "big thing" (whatever that means). Regardless, I have loved them and so have my kids. They are especially perfect for church. We keep all of their crayons, books, toys, and snacks packed away in their individual packs each week. While looking through the new arrivals at Crewcuts last week, I noticed that they now sell the same backpacks. So perhaps our friend was right, they are the new "big thing". The ones we purchased are the Mini, but the one on the J.Crew website is the full size pack. Check out the Fjallraven Kanken site to see all of the fun colors that are available. They are a little on the pricey side, but definitely worth it! I am thinking that I might need to get this one in yellow for myself. I am randomly finding the need for a backpack these days...like when we go to Disneyland etc.

loving this :: dotty wallpaper

Someday when we have our next child, my son and daughter will be sharing a room. I am always trying to find cute ideas for a gender neutral room that aren't too masculine for a little girl or too feminine for a little boy. When I saw this wallpaper, I fell in love. It's definitely going into my file for future use.

vacation

Last week we went to my family's annual Beach Week. We spent the week together with my 5 siblings & their spouses, my 19 nieces & nephew, my parents, and Nammie (my grandma). So basically it was a house full of people...36 people to be exact. It was so much fun and I am missing my family like crazy. So if you have emailed and I haven't gotten back to you, I am catching up on everything today and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

I am obsessed with party blog's, but Sara's Party Perfect is my absolute fav. The style of the website alone is enough to make you fall in love. Also, be sure to check out Sara's house. Her kitchen is absolute perfection...and how about those front doors?
