GRATITUDE JOURNAL

Here's Jake with a handed-down book and a small toy car back in 2006 before smartphones became a fad...  When the sons were still toddlers, I usually bought them picture books of real things instead of books showing illustrations of objects. I thought photos were better than drawings for faster cognizance. And I still remember fondly, my favorites were hard bound children's books by Dorling Kindersley.  via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CERXkaRgmJQ/

2020-08-14 Errand coat by @atebytatah on our way to drop off laundry and refill our bottles of castile soap at Green Shelf.  I pledge to wear/post Filipino made every Friday in an effort to support our artisans, designers, creatives, businesses, and our local fashion industry.  Let's empower the Filipino Fashion Industry and inspire each other by wearing a Filipino-made piece (old or new) and posting a photo or video of you. Celebrate our creativity as a nation and champion its preservation.  #FFF#FilipinoFashionFridays#PhilippineFashionCoalition#Fashionforhealing#buyfilipino#beloyaltolocal via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CD3it81ATWV/
