Warby Parker Celebrates 5th Birthday with Half-Decade Collection
It’s hard to believe that Warby Parker has only been around for 5 years! Since 2010 they have been busy creating so much trendy (and affordable) eyewear! 

To celebrate their 5th birthday they have released a special Half-Decade collection that features shapes from their first-ever collection. They’ve given the classic frames a fresh look, check out our favorite!

And as always, for every pair sold, Warby Parker distributes a pair to someone in need.

Now all of you know that I love Warby Parker, and they have done it again.  They have amazing old frames, with a new look.  I hope you'll at least head over and take a look at what they have.  I really think that you'll like them.
Have a great week.

My Favorite Dr. Seuss Party Ideas

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links

"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one." -Dr. Seuss

Oh the places your party will go! This month’s Party of the Month is Dr. Seuss and Birthday Express has everything you need to plan the perfect Dr. Seuss themed party. Here are some of my favorite Dr. Seuss birthday party ideas!

Invitations - Get your guests into the party spirit with these Dr. Seuss Invitations. The package includes 8 invitations with envelopes and features all of my favorite Dr. Seuss characters on the front.

Party Decor - With the Dr. Seuss Balloon Bouquet and Dr. Seuss Wall Decal Set, your guests will walk in and be transported to Dr. Seuss' world of the Lorax and the Grinch. Start the party off right by giving each guest a Dr. Seuss Cone Hat and Dr. Seuss Blowout when they walk in the door. Mom and dad can also get in the spirit with several adult costumes available at Birthday Express. My favorite is the Adult Cat in the Hat Costume .

Food & Drink - The books of Dr. Seuss are filled with great food ideas. Spice up your typical deviled eggs with some green food dye and serve alongside some roast ham to get the classic green eggs and ham. And what better way to serve your party’s green eggs and ham than on the Dr. Seuss Dinner Plates. For dessert, the kids will go crazy for these Dr. Seuss Cupcake Wrapper and Box Kits. Each kid can get their own present with these individually wrapped boxes. You can either make a Dr. Seuss themed cupcake or buy some from the store and change out the wrappers.

It's just all so cute.  Anyway, I hope you give them a try.

Have a great week.

Fire Mountain Gems' Almost Instant Jewelry

This is a sponsored post.

Creating Almost Instant Jewelry

This is such a great way to make your own jewelry that is unique just for you.  You can now design stunning pendants, bracelets, earrings and more with Fire Mountain Gems and Beads' selection of metal settings exclusively designed to fit Swarovski crystals. You can shop by setting or by stone, it's really easy! Just mix and match your favorites, add a few drops of glue and you have your very own custom-made jewelry piece. This is a fun and easy activity. You can create presents for their loved ones and teachers, and they're affordable fun for crafting parties, bridal showers and more!

I think this is such a fun party idea.  In September my daughter in law had a birthday party for my 6 year old granddaugher, and they created gemstone encrusted goblets.  The girls had a great time, but they also love making jewelry with me.  These settings and crystals would make it so easy for the little 6 year olds to make their own jewelry.  They have an activity and a party favor all in one.

What a great way to make teacher gifts also.  Have your kids help, and they will be so proud to had their teacher the gift that they made for them.

Adults and teenagers will love making these at your next baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday party.  You have an instant activity and a party favor all in one.

I, myself buy a lot of my supplies from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads'.  I love their products.  They get my jewelry supplies to me quickly and the quality is amazing.  I only buy my silver wire from them now.  Their crystals and beads are also beautiful.  Need I say more.

Try them out and see how you like them.

Have a great week.

Sheinside Sale

Sponsored

I just became an affiliate for this clothing company called SheInside.com, and I am pretty excited to share them with all of you. 

I was shopping for lightweight sweaters about 2 weeks ago and found this company had really cute clothing, and they were very inexpensive.  I was not an affiliate for them at that time, and actually had never heard of them before.  I like the clothes so much that I decided I wanted to be an affiliate for them, and found that they were part of shareasale.com, so I didn't even have to work too hard at finding them.  I am pretty excited.

Here are a few of the items that I ordered.

White Long Sleeve Cross Rhinestone Knit Sweater
 Isn't it cute.  I can't wait for a cool day to wear it.  It's out of stock, but they have tons of sweaters available.

I also ordered this sweater with the lace at the bottom.

White Long Sleeve Lace Knit Loose Sweater for $22.16

I am a sucker for lace.  I think this will look really cute with a pencil skirt and boots, or skinny jeans and flats.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce this company to all of you, and maybe get you thinking about some cute fall and winter clothes.  They have so much, and the prices are very reasonable.  I know you are going to love them as much as I do.

I have put the picture at the top of the post with a code for 25% off sweaters.  They also offer Free Shipping Worldwide at SheInside for orders over $30, so that should help also.

Have a great weekend, and have fun shopping.

Warby Parker Fall Collection Eyeglass Frames

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links

Your personal style is reflected in your fashion. But unlike a jacket or what shoes you wear, your eyeglasses reflect your entire person—every day, every outfit, every situation. You are not like everyone else, so why would you want to wear the same as them? You wouldn't. Instead you prefer eyewear that is unique and full of personality, just like you. Introducting the Warby Parker Fall Collection.

With nine new frame shapes and two new colors, this season's collection is filled with exciting new options for bold, creative personalities. For the adventurous, there are three clever styles in crystal. For the polished professionals, there are three updated, hardworking acetate frames with titanium temples. And for the folks that really mean business, there are a handful of designs in angular silhouettes. There are two new hues: Striped Pacific and Petal Tortoise. One brings in the blues of the sea, while the other adds a painterly mix of soft pinks and earthy browns. All frames are ready to be shipped to your door for you to try on with the Warby Parker Home Try-On program and all frames purchased precipitate another pair to be donated to someone in need. The Warby Parker Fall Collection is now available in retail stores and online, and starts at just $95 a pair.  Progressive lenses starting at $295 a pair.

Have a great week.

Little Passports USA Subscription

**The links in this post are affiliate links and I will receive a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking on my link.

This is such a great way to help your kids and grandkids with geography.  We were just in Los Angeles with our whole family and my oldest granddaughter didn't really get the whole different state thing.  She is 5 and so I showed her on a map all of the states that they drove through to get to Los Angeles.  She was pretty excited when she realized that all of it was in America and that there are 50 different states.  She was in Florida last June, so she was able to count that she has now been in 5 states.  She was pretty excited.  I think this is such a great learning tool.  I think I may order it for both of them for a Christmas present.

Travel the USA with Little Passports
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! In a recent edition of the USA Edition featuring Oregon, not only did kids learn about a new state, but they also got to put on their chefs hat and whip up a tasty ice cream recipe for the whole family...a great way to stay cool during these hot summer days. This is just one of the many surprises you can expect to find with a monthly subscription to Little Passports. Discover the Little Passports USA Edition and bring the learning adventure home!

Have a great week with your family!

Warby Parker New Waterway Collection

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links

Introducing the Waterway Collection from Warby Parker 
Timeless design with an aqua twist, that is the new Waterway Collection from Warby Parker. Five favorite frame styles (Welty, Percey, Bensen, Griffin, and Piper) have been re-introduced in a poolside palette of sandy shades and bluesy hues—the perfect compliment to sun-bleached days or dry and dusty nights. 

Available with prescription or sunglass lenses, this shore-inspired collection will cool you down in the heat of summer, and become a treasured beach memento throughout the rest of your year. The Waterway Collection—inspired by what is essential to life—is a limited-edition collection and now available at www.warbyparker.com/waterway

I love all of Warby Parker's frames and I know you are going to love them also.  They are reasonably priced and they have a style for everyone.  I hope you will take a look at them.  You can order them online, just get your prescription from your doctor and send it to them when you order your glasses.  It's really very easy and a great deal.  I picked the Sibley frame in Catalina Blue and for my progressive lenses and the frame it's $295.00.  A single vision lens and frame is $95.00.  That's a great price compared to what I last paid for my last pair of glasses.

It is easy to shop for glasses on Warby Parker also.  You can try the frames on virtually, which is a great way to see the glasses on yourself.  I love this, because when I try glasses on in a store I can't tell what they look like, because I have to be about 10 inches away from the mirror to see them.

This company also donates a pair of glasses for every pair that is purchased, kind of like Toms shoes.  I love that they also give back.  I hope you will give this company a try.  I know you will like them as much as I do.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links



What little girl doesn't love the sweetly iconic look of Hello Kitty? Create a purrrfect party setting with the Hello Kitty Balloon Dreams Party Pack from Birthday Express.

Throwing a Hello Kitty party doesn't take much more than pulling together some key elements, adding touches of glimmer and gloss, and coating everything in a pastel palette. Here are some ideas on how...

Food & Drink Ideas - Tiny muffins and tea sandwiches wrapped in polka dot cupcake wrappers to keep the cute quotient up and the sugar levels low. Serve them with strawberry (think pink!) and/or plain milk in small, old fashioned milk bottles which work perfectly withpink striped straws. 



Party Activities - Everyone loves a piñata, and the Hello Kitty Pinata (featured below) is filled with all sorts of treats, including candy and little toys. However, if you're looking for something with a little less mess, putting together a make-your-own favor box table is an easy way to let kids build their own Hello Kitty super souvenir! Simply set out bowls of Hello Kitty treats, such as: stickers, rings, Hello Kitty PEZ dispensers, colorful bracelets and a party favor box or bag to put all the goodies in. 

Hello Kitty Pinata Kit

Hello Kitty Party Favor Box

Hello Kitty Party Game

Party Decor - On your palette of pastel, add in accent pieces that bring the theme to life, such as Hello Kitty confetti or use the Hello Kitty rings (featured below) as napkin holders. Finally, let the birthday girl be the star of the party and dress her up as Hello Kitty!
