Empowering gifts for kids + tweens

The holidays will look a little different for many of us this year, but as always my holiday shopping list feels like an unconquerable task. I’m excited to share a couple gift guides to get your holiday shopping started. Or if you’re an overachiever: finish up your shopping. First up? Empowering gifts for kids and tweens.

Fun fact: for several years after my second baby was born I made a living blogging online. It was so long ago that the term influencer didn’t exist, but I navigated the wild west of the internet to the tune of writing 20 plus blog posts a week about baby and kid products. Putting together these gift guides is really going back to my online roots and I love it!
