BABY LOVE Decals + Dolls
Now that we’re all back and settled in L.A. together, I’ve been looking for ways to decorate my daughters’ rooms in a way that will inspire their imaginations. I recently discovered Blik Wall Decals, which seem like a nice way to add some whimsy. They come right on and off the wall, so I can easily switch them out as the girls get older and their tastes change. I’m loving the mix of prints they have—everything from delicate butterflies to goofy giraffes. Plus, the Venice, CA based company gives back to local and national charities like Boys and Girls Club of Venice and Manifest Equality.
Another recent find is Tane Organics. At first, I was drawn to Tane’s cute baby clothes. But they also have some pretty stuffed animals that are wrapped in organic cotton and machine washable—a must have as little ones like Indi Joon start going through their drooling, teething stages.
With love,
Josie

My most memorable birthday took place in El Salvador. I worked with an organization that offered accompaniment to marginalized, repopulated communities both during the civil war years as well as during the years of reconstruction. It took us to some very remote areas. One year on a day that happened to be my birthday, we were in a rural community that was reporting on the organic farming they were doing - a project we had supported. It was a long day of trudging through muddy fields but the pride and joy that was expressed by these wonderful people in their great success at growing bananas, cashew and sesame was invaluable.
On the way out of the community, we passed a group of musicians who were heading to church with their instruments. Our director, also Salvadoran, had us all stop and get out of the trucks. He explained that this was my birthday after which they serenaded me with "Las Mananitas." Standing on that road with the people I loved, in what some would see as the "middle of nowhere" but for us was the heart of the world, I had the best birthday I could have asked for.
