There is a lot of cheering around here when a box from Le Top children’s clothing arrives. Yesterday, we received a box that included this buttons & bows jumpsuit, $38, and plane ride overalls and shirt, $39. Let me tell you, there is a reason that Le Top has been creating quality playwear for 32 years! Their outfits really do reflect the fun of being a little one. The brand has children’s clothing for ages newborn through seven. The soft, natural fabrics are manufactured by the company, ensuring the very best quality. Timeless is a great word to describe these looks. We cannot wait to see what they have to offer for winter 2010/2011!


We do not often talk about food here on AList, but I feel strongly about the benefits of probiotics. And one of the easiest ways to get probiotics in your diet is through Yogurt. Dannon Activia asked us to try out their product, and we tested the 4 ounce snacks. They taste great, and the benefits are even better! Studies show that eating one of these snacks consecutively for two weeks can have great health benefits. Check out more information on the Dannon Activia site!

Hello! Today is the last day of August! Everyone is getting ready for Back-to-School time, which makes me think about the kids who do not have the supplies they need when they show up to their first day of school. The Kids In Need Foundation is a not-for-profit with a mission to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed by providing free school supplies nationally to students most in need. The Foundation does this through 24 resource centers across the country, where teachers can “shop” for free supplies. The Foundation also supports a teacher grant program; all K-12 educators nationwide are eligible. Finally, the Foundation supports a school box program to help get supplies to students in rural areas. The Kids In Need Foundation 2010 gala and business luncheon is on September 29 at The Depot in Minneapolis. The gala reception is sponsored by Target. For more details on the gala and luncheon, visit the KINF site. You can buy your tickets online here. To learn more about the Foundation, or to make a donation, you can “fan” the Kids In Need Foundation Facebook site. Cheers to a great school year!

When I was growing up, Back-to-School often meant a cool new backpack. This year, we received the Happy Sunflower pattern from our friends at Garnet Hill. We are loving these sturdy-yet-stylish backpacks! They even have a water-bottle pocket! (Remember the days when drinking water during the day meant a stop at the water fountain?) I also like the padded shoulder straps! Those packs get heavy! Check them out at Garnet Hill $39.50.

Indulgent? Yes. Timeless? Yes. Heirloom worthy? Yes. Worth it? Yes! (Burberry, $290 at Saks)

It is still H-O-T in Dallas, but we are thinking cool thoughts today. Courtney is visiting us from Washington, DC this weekend, hooray! We spotted this cozy Juicy Couture snow suit for baby girl, $168 at Bloomingdales. This makes me want to start planning our winter ski trip!

I am excited to share the great Etsy site Modern Frills today! My friend Jean E. recommended the site, and it features the CUTEST birthday girl t-shirts ever. The Vintage Cake Stand and Vintage Birthday Girl are two of our favorites! There are many different handmade items on the site. Check it out!


We spotted this calming and stylish baby girl nursery while viewing the Little Miss Heirloom website! The color is beyond soothing. This look is gorgeous!
