Savvy Shopping: Style Smaller | The Shop

One of my good friends, Kate, from the lifestyle blog, Style Smaller, is turning her dream into reality today!   Kate just launched her own children's shop, Style Smaller | The Shop, on her blog site.  She has carefully selected pieces from artists and makers who create beautiful, functional and affordable things.  The Shop will be full of those truly special items for the perfect children's birthday present or special accessory for your children and your home.  

Happy shopping! 

Cheers,

Children of Shelters - Santafest {San Francisco Events}

On Saturday, my family and I will be at Santafest at the Golden Gate Club in the Presidio.  It is the 12th year that this event has been put on by the Children of Shelters organization. They have two events this year, the Jingle & Mingle on Thursday, December 5th and Santafest on Saturday, December 7th.  

Last year both Children of Shelters raised enough funds from these two events to help provide park and rec classes for more than 50 children, summer camp for over 200 children, scholarships for eight students and over 150 birthday celebrations. 

At the Santafest, children will be able to decorate gingerbread houses, enjoy breakfast, holiday crafts and take pictures with Santa.  I hope to see you there!  Let me know if you will be there, would love to say hi! 

You can purchase tickets on the Children of Shelter's site here.

Happy Holidays!

Cheers,

Cheers to the Weekend - Trick or Treat

How is today November 1st?  Where did October go?  Where did 2013 go?  It's all going by so fast.  I hope everyone had wonderful Halloweens and there were more treats than tricks!  We had a fun and exhausting Halloween.  It was precious to watch trick or treating click in Charlotte's head and she became a pro at it!  She was practically knocking Landon and Tatum down to get to the front doors - it was adorable! 

This weekend is packed full of holiday photoshoots!  I'm doing one tomorrow in the San Francisco Botanical Gardens and we are having our own done on Sunday at the Ferry Building.  

What are you all up to this weekend? Any special Fall weekend plans? 

Cheers,

Savvy Intern

Did I mention that I hired an intern?  She is still in her trial period though.  She takes a lot of snack breaks and is constantly trying to get me to read stories to her.  Crossing my fingers that her productivity level will increase and she will be writing blog posts and editing photoshoots in no time flat! 

Champers & Cupcakes - LUNCHBOX & American Cupcake

Won't you join me tomorrow at American Cupcake for a little shopping for the little ones with LUNCHBOX?  Champers, cupcakes and shopping - YES PLEASE!  I am hoping to be there around 5pm and I hope to see you there!
