Every Friday, we post our 5 favorite things of the week. Anywhere from fashion, to books, events, products and all things “cool”. Excited to share this week’s #FridayFive!

1. If you are looking for someone to help you design an amazing card or favor for a special event, look no further, @tunitadesigns is the place to go!

3.  An oldie but a GOOD one! Every year my kids school hosts an inclusivity event in which students learn about learning disabilities and anxiety, among other topics. My favorite conference this year was the one about anxiety! The speaker used  the book, Don’t feed The WorryBug, to talk to the children about anxiety. Even if your littles don’t suffer from anxiety, it is a great read for any child. It explains in the BEST way how to deal with worries.

4.  @cookiesbykatiebrown, my almost neighbor, makes the most beautiful and delicious cookies! Her cookies are truly a work of art. If you have a birthday coming up or any special occasion, run, don’t walk to place an order! Her cookies are SO GOOD that she is booked months in advance!
