    What a great selection of books and ideas for gifts for children. Love many of the stories and suggestions here. Halloween-themed but also broader topics that are of benefit. My two favorites would be the Bullying one (so relevant these days) and The Book of Awesome Girls for some inspiration.

    Ah, Spookie Pookie! We’ve had this book since my older son was a baby and still read it all the time. My boys are 6 and 8 but still enjoy that one. I haven’t heard of the others, though, so I’ll have to look since they love to read.

    Hihi….”How Witches Get Their Broomsticks” has me giggling up to now. There’s a meme that heading reminds me of. Thanks for sharing about it. I believe it’s a good pick to begin with.

    This is an interesting list of kid books that i’m sure my niece would love to read but the one about bullying is what intrigue me the most. It is a very interesting and meaningful topics to discuss with kids and it is great to spread such awareness
    Thank you so much for sharing

Happy almost Thanksgiving! I wanted to share my favorite Laurent-Perrier is always at my dinner table for every holiday. 🥂 It’s an excellent choice for Thanksgiving celebrations because its elegant and versatile Champagne pairs beautifully with the diverse flavors of the holiday feast. The Brut La Cuvée offers a crisp and fresh profile with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a delicate minerality that complements appetizers. For turkey and richer dishes or desserts, the Cuvée Rosé, with its vibrant red berry flavors and lively effervescence, provides a delightful contrast. Champagne also adds a touch of sophistication, making the gathering feel extra festive and special. Laurent-Perrier’s refined style ensures it enhances the meal without overpowering it. Cheers! 🍾🥂 @champagnelaurentperrier #thanksgiving #thanksgivingtable #laurentperrier #laurentperrierchampagne

It’s been a minute since we updated our kids bedroom here in NYC , and since we’ve been obsessed with the way our guest bedroom Out East was transformed by @selectblinds, I thought they would be a perfect addition to their room here. This time I went with Select Blinds Coastal Roman Shades in pearl white #NoDrillBlinds, and have to say WOW - I did the entire process myself. The No Drill Blinds come with tension bars and levers to fit any window frame in your space and are totally adjustable. With over 40 options for colors, fabrics and styles, the blinds are perfect for seasonal transitions and are perfect if you are a renter like we are here in the city. The kids love their room refresh and now I might need to do our entire apartment. No drills, no frills, no hassle!
