When teens get upset -- how best to respond

In fact, exposing children to what Grant terms “thoughtful” conflict can have surprising long-term benefits. https://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/560054/home-school-episode-2/

Check out the cool vibes of our Shop Up event in London in December!

Our 2nd live shopping event in Brooklyn was amazing! Great shopping, delicious treats, tons of kids activities and a super cool family photo booth!

Esther shows us her recipe for delicious mint syrup.

Our live shopping event in London at Chelsea Old Town Hall in 2015 was a big success and so much fun.

Here we show you how to harvest rhubarb from the garden, and make it into a delicious compote. If you make oatmeal at the same time, you have made a delicious and nutritious breakfast that your family will love! (Ours do!)

This gym bag is such a fun and easy project, also for beginners this is a nice sewing project. Esther, Emilie and the kids had so much fun going to the market choosing all the supplies. The fabrics from Little Cube are the cutest!

Our first live shopping event in Brooklyn was a great success. We loved seeing the best boutiques under one roof, combined with great food and fun activities...and some dancing! Hope to see everyone this year again on September 18th & 19th at 501 Union, 501 Union Street in Brooklyn.
