CAN FASHION CHANGE THE WORLD?

Instagram rules the world. It does. You know it does. And these days, we kind of have to pull ourselves away from our screens to let go and be. Be without instagram.

And that's where Instagram comes in.

ALL THE REASONS WE LOVE BACK TO SCHOOL + THE ONE REASON WE DON'T

I don’t know about you. But I’m thrilled the school year is starting. It bringsa sort of renewal to the end of the year. A sort of re-start if you will, or re-set. It’s schedules, packed lunches, early bedtimes, drop offs, pick ups, and an organized kind of chaos that puts us all in a bit of order. It's routine. And mandatory, not optional. And although, the early bedtimes, mean perhaps a glorified bath with a glass of wine and a good mud mask for mom, the mandatory part of the equation puts a damper on my heart. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only mother who feels this way.
