Something Worth Spreading...

Hello and happy Friday, my friends.

Please visit Meghan’s lovely blog and read her post on shopping and eating locally. You all know I am a huge believer in shopping locally, so I was very happy to learn about this project.

Thanks, Meghan. You rock.

Playing along with Meghan, I would also like to share my favorite local spots.

And, since we are knee deep in baby season, here are two children’s store faves:

• Little Urbanites: If your friends are as fertile as mine seem to be you will want to check this place out. There are several children’s stores in the Pearl, but Little Urbanites is my fave. They carry the best selection of organic cotton baby clothes, naturally made toys and products, as well as some pretty chic baby paraphernalia.
• Green Frog Toys: Such a fun store to wander through. Any child (or adult) would love to receive something from Green Frog.

Last night was First Thursday down in the Pearl. If you’ve never been this is the perfect opportunity to check out our local shops. Generally, merchants stay open later, offer complimentary wine and food, and sometimes have great sales. Hit First Thursday on a warm night in the summer and you’re sure to find a pretty rad street party.
