Hello Everyone,

Our new normal is staying home to flatten the curve from the virus (COVID19), we are staying within our family. We have all been home since March 12, 2020. Working from home, kids are remote learning through their school. Surprisingly the kids have never complained about their new normal, we have been honest with them about what is going on (PG version) and our family are closer through these unknown days.

Olivia turned 11 on March 27, once she got over that her party with her friends would be cancelled. She was still so excited about her birthday in quarantine. I asked her what gifts she wanted and it was a simple request of ‘Cellular data’ and LED Lights for my room. Olivia said would love if I baked her a cake (gulp) and instead of restaurant takeout she would love her favorite dish of Spinach & Pasta! I thought this was so adorable and loved her requests so much. Me being me I wanted everything to be super special for her.

Cake: Flour Shop Kit from Williams Sonoma, this was idiots proof to create an amazing cake! You will also need a 2” round cookie cutter and piping for frosting extra ingredients eggs, butter and cream cheese!

Gifts ideas for an 11yr old, this is exactly what I got Olivia and she was so surprised and loved everything!

Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers also Vans are great option too

LED Lights for her bedroom, apparently its a Tik Tok Thing! They are so easy to install

Lululemon Sports Bra and Shorts. Yes she is now in love with Lululemon they have a girls line too!

Then I ordered a bunch of cute things from Urban Outfitters…..

New Apple Watch Strap and Fjallraven Kanken Backpack

Champion Crop T Shirt and Champion Tie Dye Shorts. Champion was big winner, she was so surprised and loved, I order XS in both and they fit great!

Hello Kitty cleansing brush she uses this once a week on her face!

Petite N Pretty Make-up for kids and teens free of all the nasties!

Olivia loved her birthday and goes to show, celebrating with just your family is super special.

Stay safe and healthy.

Love
Genny xx

Swimwear shopping for kids

/

Last weekend I was watching my little Darlings swim & play in the pool for hours and quickly realized Max is wearing his Vilbrequin swim trunks from 3yrs ago and neither of them have sun rash guards to protect them from the Florida sun. I speedily went into kids online shopping mode at Marks & Spencers, Crew Cuts, John Lewis. John Lewis and Marks & Spencers are British stores but deliver for free to the US.

I did an online edit and then my daughter just went through her favs, this is what she approved:

Really like the Birkenstock waterproof shoes for round the pool!

Olivia is 10yrs old but I buy her swimwear size 11yrs - 12yrs

Max is 7yrs old and I but his swimwear 8yrs - 9yrs

Crew Cuts currently has 40% OFF FULL PRICE WITH CODE SHOP40

My kids will be pool & beach ready with this cute selection of swimwear.

I hope you found this useful
