obsessed to the maximus...

i love art. i love kids. i love clothes... so why, oh why, oh why didn't i think of this brilliant little company?

well....there are probably several reasons as to why i didn't, but it makes me damn glad that megan & sophie did.

meet mini & maximus... probably the coolest kids line i've ever come across. 

it's inspired by the wild, free and pure hearts that kids explore the world with. 

it's fun. it doesn't take itself to seriously. it champions the creative spirit and takes pride in uniqueness.

if you're not already clicking thru and checking out their collections, then take a few moments to read this...it will make you love them all the more.

curren loves to draw (and hopefully beckett will too) so you can bet your bottom dollar we'll be submitting our scribbles to them soon!

i blame him...

well, hello!


look at me... here i am...back after a 3.5 month hiatus! 

what happened you ask? well, i just went and had myself another bundle of joy and decided to soak up every minute of my newest little pickle... meet beckett indy.

i didn't plan on going m.i.a. but i did... but now, i'm back to work. and with work comes a little more time to myself... which means more time for pompoms & peonies!

four-eyes has never been so cool...

as a kid, being told you need to wear glasses must be pretty deflating for that little budding ego.  

we all know kids can be cruel and that a pair of glasses floating on the rim of a child's nose is just one more piece of ammo for someone to fire away at an innocent wee-one.


well... very french gangsters is single-handidly out to change that. 


this french company must be owned by a group of kids, who as children, wore glasses... and now that they're all growns up, got together and decided that if they had a say in the matter glasses would be made cool and that kids who needed glasses would become the envy of the rest of their peers.


get a closer look here and tell me you don't agree!

inspiration icon... caine monroy

meet caine. he's my latest inspriaton icon...

he's nine and he runs his own business...an arcade. 

that in itself is pretty cool but i haven't mentioned the coolest part... he actually BUILT every game within his arcade. 

caine's story has been making its way around the internet, but if you haven't yet had the chance to watch, i promise you it's worth every second of the ten minutes.

i can't quite tell you how touched i am by his story...

in my 2.5 years as a momma i've thought this everyday, but there really are endless life lessons to be learned from children. they are incredible...

my ten minutes watching caine has inspired and reminded me of some pretty powerful things...

- imagine.imagine.imagine

- dare to create
- believe in the goodness of people

- charge forward in times of adversity

- take pride in what you do

- believe in yourself

- vulnerability is the key

thanks caine. i can't wait to see who you grow up to be...

for those of you with wee ones, i highly recommend you check out this ahhhhh-dorable line.


i'm completely obsessed and am wondering if the swedes ever have a miss...
