Happy Friday!

Man, I am missing the beach. The wind, the openness, that feeling of warmth. Some days I dream of packing up and moving to a beach town. Dave and I would open up a little surf shop and sell frozen yogurt like this place we fell in love with in Nags Head, NC. Naturally, we’d ignore the fact that neither of us surf. Do you ever have dreams like that? Sigh…
This week has been a bit crazy. I have a small toy company with mom and sister called Ellie Bellie Kids. If you follow me on instagram (I’m @classic_play) you may already know that we’re getting ready to release a new line and website. It’s been incredibly exciting! I’ll let you know when it goes live so you can check it out. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it all goes according to plan. This is ebk’s 7th year *gulp!* and I finally feel like I know what I’m doing. What can I say? I take a while.
And now the links…
Wow! Thank you for pinning so many of our posts!
Do you think Richard Branson would mentor me? Hey Richard, if you’re reading, drop me a line. I could use a few pointers.
