Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the weekend. My dad is in town from Cincinnati to watch the Super Bowl with me. Our hometown Bengals are playing and we are so excited they made it this far. The last time they made it to the Super Bowl, I was 6 years old and they lost in the last two minutes. It has been fun to have my dad around in Chicago, catch up on life and share good meals. Plus, I think Henri is growing on him. ā¤ļø

This J. Crew bag is currently under $50. I was crushing on it last year and finally broke down and bought it for Henri. It is what I keep his toys/food in when he goes away for the weekend to my friends when we are traveling. It comes in multiple colors and is perfect for a beach/pool bag or to tote kids’ toys.
