The weather has been crazy the last few months, it is December in Louisiana, and we are in the 70s. Not complaining I love the warm weather, but it makes getting a dress for the day harder. With the holidays here and warm weather, I have been inspired by the embroidery trend. I have been wanting a denim skirt for some time and I was so impressed when I came across one from https://www.andgold.co/. 

This particular skirt has a feminine floral embroidery mixed with the edgy raw hemline. I can think of so many outfit possibilities with this piece. On a laid-back day, I dress it up with a button-up shirt. You should check it out at https://www.andgold.co/product-page/denim-and-embroidery-make-the-perfect-pair

The brand in fact, opened 2022. The founder was in the insurance industry for 20+ years, but left to care for her dad, who has terminal cancer. However, I wanted to still support my family, and so I started our boutique. We are family owned and operated out of Nashville, Tennessee.
As a mom of four girls, shopping for girls has always been a big part of my life. My encouragement to start this business actually came from my girls. My eldest daughter, a highly rated basketball player, said to me, “Mom, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” So here we are. In a world that tends to lean on appearances, body type or size, or outward beauty only, I wanted to teach my girls that women are beautiful, smart, successful, powerful, world changers, and  they can do anything they set their minds to. They are also so much more than their sexuality. With that in mind, our clothing is modest by most standards.
What does the future hold for the brand, they are going to start a men’s line, footwear and eventually to manufacture their own products.
I also fell in love with their dresses, that you can use as transitional pieces during the year.

If you are looking for some capsule pieces to add to your wardrobe then you need to check out this brand.

 

 

 

Holiday Gift Guide-Toys/Games-Dissect-It-Frog

While the kids are home from school for the holidays it is a great idea to get them some activities to keep them busy. What better way to have fun than with science?

Frog dissections are a staple of many middle – and high-school science classes. Learning about anatomy and what each organ does can be fun and exciting. Dissecting also can teach us a lot about the similarities and differences between species.

Yet a dead, preserved, and stinky frog might be a turn-off for some. And it can be expensive and tough to find a dissecting toolkit, tray, and preserved frog. But if you have a smartphone, you can spare the frog without spoiling the experience.

Kid Science: Frog Dissection

This app features short videos of a frog dissection. Separate clips display each organ and procedure. The opening segments run through what you will need to do for your dissection and how to open up the frog’s body cavity. Subsequent ones point out organs and describe their functions. A quiz also offers the option to see how much you’ve learned.

Dissect-It Frog Lab is a synthetic frog dissection kit that provides users with the experience of frog dissection without the use of a real frog!

 

  • Made out of gelatin-like material that is safe for children, the Dissect-It Frog gives the realistic experience of a frog dissection without the use of a real frog!
  • This scientific set includes one frog complete with a skeletal structure and full set of organs ready for dissection, instructions, a dissection table plastic tools needed for dissecting the frog, and two refill gel kits for more dissecting fun!
  • Kids can learn about and study everything inside a frog as they follow the simple instructions! They’ll learn about the anatomy of a frog and the function of each organ through each step.
  • This set is a perfect, odorless alternative to dissecting a real frog. The biodegradable gelatin material gives the frog form but is easy to cut through with the safe, surgical-like instruments provided.

Top Secret Toys is proud to offer educational and STEM toys that bring both comprehensive learning and fun to kids and families. Dissect-It Frog Lab, along with other Dissect-It animal kits, is perfect for fun at-home learning but can easily be used in a classroom setting as well.  includes

Dissect-It Frog Lab is available for purchase at https://topsecrettoys.us

This is probably because I was not traumatized by the stench and my feelings for the froggy. If you are like me, then asking your teacher to use this app instead of real frogs is a great idea.
