    This really cute blouse is from Cooper & Ella, and I think it’s playful but sort of sophisticated — and I always like red and blue as a color combination because it feels fresh.

The blouse is $120 at Nordstrom and has a couple of positive reviews so far. Valentine Tie Front Blouse

    A couple of plus-size alternatives are from Eloquii: striped and solid (both machine washable).

    We have this dinosaur table lamp, and it’s a really nice find. We’ve had bad luck with lighting, particularly for the kids’ rooms — we had one lamp that we paid far too much for from Pottery Barn Kids (or PBTeen) that basically fell apart after about a year of regular use. (I don’t think…
