If you live anywhere in the northern hemisphere, it is HOT right now. Much of the western United States has been in a heat wave or experiencing “excessive heat warnings.” But if your air conditioning is keeping your home nice and cool or you are already dreaming about the cooler temperatures of fall and winter, the Together Matters blanket is made from the warmest faux alpaca fabric and perfect for feeling cozy.
You could also start a new holiday tradition this year—matching Christmas socks! These cream-colored socks feature anti-skid lettering with a simple holiday message that hearkens back to a beloved carol: “Comfort & Joy.”
There is never a bad time for a new children’s picture book. And “More Than Just a Star,” beautifully illustrated by artist Sarah Jane Wright, is a holiday book that can be read and shared any time of year because the message of Christmas is a timeless one.
