One of my favorite things about summer is how the whole family dives into summer reading.  There just seems to be more time to enjoy a good book.  I love walking into a room and seeing my kids reading away!  Trips to the library are a common occurrence, and it's amazing how many times we have gone to the library so far this summer.  Everyone is more relaxed (including me!) and we all have a more time to "smell the roses" and get into a good book.  Favorites around our house are the Divergent series for older kids, Chris Colfer's...

We have a new buckle to share with you that we are so excited about!  It is a heart shaped buckle that can slide onto any belt and is a great complement to our current square shaped buckle.  We hope that the little girls in your house love it as much as we do!  It should arrive in a couple weeks and a belt with heart buckle is a perfect Valentine's Day gift!        

Anyone who watched Myself Belts on Shark Tank on Halloween knows what happened.  It was intense.  Or should I capitalize it and say INTENSE!  It truly was rough, and although I know it was a reality television show, I did feel like I had been in a fight and was definitely bruised.  It is complicated emotionally though because the story has a happy ending, a Daymond John partnership. Going In The Tank My decision to apply for Shark Tank didn't have anything to do with money.  The "ask" was kind of arbitrary to me because I was there for a...

There is a lot of nervous energy around our offices preparing for this exciting news!  Tune in to see what happens when Talia faces the Sharks on Halloween!

I've been reminded in recent weeks, how much fun family game days/nights can be.  When as a family, we can all unplug, gather, and spend some quality time enjoying each other's company- it is such special time.  Amidst the hectic days of driving in circles and racing from here to there, times when we get to stop and just "be" are so welcome.  I am also realizing how fleeting they are and how we need to make time to have these memories. I have been reflecting on how our games have changed over the years as the kids have gotten older....

We love when our new styles arrive and we can share them with you!  This fall we have a new Grey Race Car Belt for boys and a Shiny Star Belt for girls. The Shiny Star belt is patent and glittery, and oh so fun!  The Grey Race Car will appeal to so many who have fun zooming around.  We hope you like them as much as we do!  

So the holiday season has ended, whew, tiring but fun!  I love giving gifts and seeing if I got it right.  The challenge is trying to think of fun gifts that will be long-lasting, and that they won't tire of after a few weeks.  I thought that I would share the winners from this holiday season.  The gifts that brought the biggest smiles from the kids in my life.   The first is Buckyballs.  These are tiny, strong magnets that have occupied many hours of fun in my house.  Definitely a choking hazard so I wouldn't recommend them for kids under...
