“Walking Through A Winter Wonderland:” Seecaas

Duck Dynasty’s Jessica Robertson teamed up with Seecaas to design special flats with a purpose, helping families

Duck Dynasty’s Jessica Robertson teamed up with Seecaas to design special flats with a purpose, helping families financially through the adoption process. We love gifts that give back and these shoes from Seecaas are no exception. As moms we are constantly running after our kids, but we still like to look stylish. Proceeds from every pair of shoes sold will go into the Seecaas Hope for Adoption Foundation.  The purpose of the foundation is to assist and support the financial barrier by providing grants to people who choose to grow their families through the adoption process. We love that they are helping children find their forever families because adoption can cost approximately $40,000. 


The latest collection with Jessica Robertson features camo and cheetah styles and comfortable flyknit material. You can interchange the straps or even wear them without straps.

Tradition, Travel & Timely Tree Ornaments: Old World Christmas

Whether you are decorating your tree, stuffing a stocking, or giving a gift, Old World Christmas ornaments are a huge hit! They have the most extensive and best-loved collection with over 1,400 proprietary designs in styles ranging from traditional to whimsical.

We love getting, and giving ornaments that reflect personalities, adventures or mark something significant from the year. From computers and coffee, to flip-flops and food there is guaranteed a favorite represented. Jobs are fun to showcase too… for us this means clapboards and microphones but you could give teachers a gift, chefs, fireman and even art are represented.

One of our favorite themes is travel. Equipped with the passport and luggage ornaments, we like to build our collection as we cross locations off our list. Cities in America like Chicago, San Francisco and New York and then across the pond like England, France and Italy. This way our tree is a visual reminder of all the memories made around the globe.

We can’t forget the classics like all the versions of Santa available, the Nutcracker characters, Joy to the World music, Angles, Churches and snow.

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800’s. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.

Ack! Cape Cod Christmas: Nanducket

The shape of Nantucket, off the coast of cap cod looks a lot like a duck. So “Nanducket” was inspired by the famous airport ACK… nutcracker and heirloom duck collection plus it’s a symbol of bravery and empowerment for children through their brand.

Nanducket has the most adorable heirloom bunnies and ducks. The one-of-a-kind animals are handcrafted from fine velvet, chiffon, linen, and tulle. The animals each have different outfits and the clothing is interchangeable. For the holiday season, they have a Nutcracker Line of bunnies and ducks as well as dresses, sweaters and jackets that children can match in. Our girls loved dressing up and matching their ducks and bunnies. We even got to take our bunny to the Nutcracker. 

We love the story of the founder and how she created Nanducket. Ten years ago, she had Bell’s Palsy. Her face was paralyzed and unlike many who suffer from the condition, she was only able to recover a small amount of movement. People treated her differently. As a mom, she would see this happen to kids who were different as well. Nanducket was founded to help people celebrate differences, feel empowered to be daring, and to use their strengths to help others.

Set the Stage for Santa! Meri Meri

From finishing up advents to talking about the meaning behind Christmas, to leaving treats for the big man, it can all be festive and fun for kids and adults. For those wanting to have a festive tablescape without having to do dishes for hours, we love Meri Meri . From reindeer plates to leave cookies for Santa to paper plates and napkins for all the holiday meals, they have prints that are classical and whimsical. For those looking to count down those last days to Christmas, they have some beautiful advent calendars too. We think this Nativity one would make a great gift as it is a craft too.We used the Festive Wooden Advent to create a fun little scene by our gingerbread house. These can make great presents for next year too and we love that they can be reused every year. 


If you are looking for some fun ideas to do with your family, they also have lots of free printables and activities. We love this paper garland activity and this letter to Santa printable.
