GlobeIn Review! & December Spoilers!! AND A COUPON!!
I’ve been lucky enough to write reviews for GlobeIn in the past; it’s such a wonderful program that supports artisans from all walks of life. All items are handmade and Fair Trade Items!!! I have to shout! I LOVE MY JOB!! Starting with packaging. A beautiful teal colored box with matching tissue paper really drives home that this is a wonderful gift!! The Threads Box is my favorite to date. The Vicky Tee from Kenya Tassel Bag Charm from Honduras Foldover Clutch from India $50 Credit at The Root Collective Palm Leaf Basket OR Spotted Bandana On top of the tissue paper is a postcard that saysClothes aren’t going to change the world.The women whowear them will. -Anne Klein Also included in this box is the Threads booklet with information about each piece included in this GlobeIn treasure. Again, presentation is everything. Nestled in the teal-colored tissue is a round, blue and white signature straw basket with a lid.

But the problem is this: I’ll drop the kids off for a playdate, and she’ll feed them candy instead of healthy snacks. She won’t put my youngest down for a nap because he ‘didn’t seem tired,’ and she’ll let the kids watch shows they could never watch on my clock. With Aunt Shelly, there are no rules… And my rules – the rules I fight hard to establish – seem to go out the door. After Aunt Shelly’s time, the kids come home exhausted, fussy and stubborn. … Is my tablet analogy starting to make sense yet? Like with my Aunt Shelly, I try my hardest to exercise patience when it comes to my…

These mysterious postcards arrive in the mail with one or two lines written out for a song that I hate! I HATE the song!! The postcard picture and lyrics are just enough to get that song playing in my head again. For DAYS!!! The plan is brilliant. It’s funny. The cards are postmarked from different states and…
