Shortly after we launched Good Weekend we took photos with Isabella Buran and her (then) little trio, at one of our local beaches. Since then, Belle has welcomed another baby to her bunch and the whole crew continues to impress us with their endless, dreamy days spent by the water together.  We caught up with Belle to ask her a little about her summer days of late :) What are your favorite things about Florida summers? The water gets crystal clear and is so so warm. We spend all our days just swimming around finding shells and playing “sharks and mermaids” haha  What's...

Sarah Smoker is all about simplicity in parenting and has us convinced that we need to start the day with more sun rises. We chatted with her recently on all things summer - here's what she said: What does an ideal summer day look like for you? We feel so lucky that we get to live at the beach. The PERFECT day for us always starts with watching the sun rise over the ocean. We are convinced it is impossible to have a bad day when our day starts like this :) Followed by a long beach day playing in...

There is nothing better than seeing our swimsuits on your kids while you're out having summer adventures and making memories together. Recently, we asked our friend Lauren Heinz, mother of three stylish little ones, to share her thoughts on making summer memories with her family - here's what she said: What are some of your favorite memories from growing up? Summers growing up in Ohio included hours and hours of time spent outside. I have always enjoyed the outdoors so I spent my summers swimming and fishing in our neighborhood pond and exploring in the woods behind our house. There was also a...

Packaging plays a major role in measuring the social and environmental impact of a business. For this reason, we keep ours to a minimum and thoughtfully choose each element that we do use with circularity in mind. We prioritize using recycled content in all of our products - swimsuits to mailers - here's why... Making products from recycled content: 1. conserves precious natural resources 2. is more energy, carbon, and resource efficient 3. supports current recycling systems and encourages improvements and innovations in these systems long term Read more about why recycled content is important here.   Learn about our low waste packaging details below, including resources for how...

This is another simple and low waste craft to do with your kids for Valentine's Day (or any holiday - I'm convinced that seed mosaics look great on any motif). This natural craft is easy to make with a little repurposed cardboard (a used package or a cereal box) plus any dried grains, beans, or seeds that you have on hand. We like to display our art projects on the wall, so I strung ours together and hung them from branches we've collected. You could also attach one to the end of a stick for a wand!   Materials: -dried grains, beans, or seeds-cardboard-school glue How to...

This is a simple and fun craft to make with young children - my (almost) 4 year old loved it :) We made mice valentine cards for his preschool classmates and had a nice assembly line going together by the end - trace, cut, glue, decorate. I filled some with mouse puns (obviously) and Pierce went for it decorating the rest! We used things we had on hand, including scrap paper from other projects that I had saved. These can be whatever size you want, so work with what you have :) Materials:  -Paper (we used kraft cardstock & construction paper) -String for "tail" (i.e. cotton...
