I think these Small Shop Spotlights may become one of my favorite things to write on the blog. I have connected with so many incredible people who create such lovely things since becoming a mama. So getting to share them with you all, and share a sweet coupon code, is so fun for me. I hope you discover something new to fall in love with through this series! This post is all about the brand Vivie & Ash who makes the loveliest children’s wear. We have been putting Elouise in their clothing since she was about 5 months old, and I find a new reason to love them with each new piece we receive.
Mrs Seacannon Must-Haves: Lorena Canals Washable Rug
No, you didn’t read that wrong, that in fact says “washable rug”. When I say washable, I don’t mean like the sneaky kind of washable where you have to do all sorts or tricks and magic to try and actually get the thing clean. We all know those products, the ones hanging in our closets we don’t wear around our children or the ones that turn into a drill sergeant if we see a child come anywhere close with food or drink. This lovely 100% cotton Lorena Canals rug is fully machine washable. I can literally grab it off the floor, throw it into the washing machine, and then tumble dry low in my dryer. Why isn’t everything that simple?

Dressing the Bump: Week 24
Week 24 is just about over people, this is not a drill. I had a moment this week where everything became really real for me and suddenly the reality of having another baby just hit me right in the heart. Like, all aspects not just the sweet cuddles, but all of the bits and pieces. Good, difficult, sweet, and emotional. It really got me thinking about perspective. Perspective can change everything. Sometimes all we need is a different view to see the beauty in something. I once heard life compared to a tapestry and it kind of made everything make sense to me. Okay bear with me here, I know it doesn’t sound very relevant, but have you ever seen a tapestry being made? It’s a delicate and painstaking process and requires attention to detail and skill. Even one tiny piece out of place can disrupt the complex and intricate design.
