Friday High Five

Yes, I know it's Wednesday. I'm featuring the Friday High Five early this week so y'all ponder these ideas & gifts ideas over your Thanksgiving and as you begin your Christmas shopping.

1. I love that West Elm is featuring several product lines that are either Fair Trade, feed hungry people, or made by artisans who partner with literacy campaigns in Haiti. Plus West Elm is having a sale right now on everything with promo code MOREISMORE.

Felt ball wreath

Paper-mache animal sculptures

FEED cutting boards

2. This video is an on-point reminder. "Smiling is stupid."

3. I cannot handle the cuteness of these little critters. For each doll purchased, 10 meals will be provided to kiddos through World Food Program & the Children's Hunger Fund. A great gift to our world and our kiddos.

4. This is another great idea for kids to explore & learn from other cultures, people, and handicrafts. An awesome gift idea. I'd love an adult version with recipes!

5. Few people know this, but my thesis paper (seven years ago now, sheesh) was about businesses with multiple bottom lines that benefit our both economy and our world. This website that names quite a few businesses that have great products and do great things for people. This season, definitely consider spending your hard-earned cash at businesses like these so your cash can continue to work for you.

Let's use our money for multiple good things this season, okay? Okay. [High five]. I wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings.

1. First off, this article is pretty awesome.

2. Please don't make me adult today.

3. I've been waiting for two years for this documentary to come out on dvd. I just discovered this week that it's available on You Tube. Very well done, but heartbreaking. 4. Wow. I am inspired me to do this in my neighborhood. (If you're with me, let's talk.)

5. Gift giving genius. Never wonder what to get for a gift again!

It's quite a hodgepodge roundup this week, but it's summer!

1. Y'all know I love businesses like this one.

2. Air Shepard has drones fly over rural areas in Africa to protect elephants and rhinos from illegal poaching. Brilliant idea.

3. I know a lot of you have been reading up on the #distractinglysexy photos, but I just keep coming back to them and laughing out loud. Every time. 4. How have I not posted this? Loved the article on our friend Roberto. He's just rad. And Jennifer, his lady, is marvelous.
Helpful life tip: find a good hope dealer.

5. Need a giant, gorgeous building? I know a guy. And think of the roller skating rink you could have!

1. A must-try tutorial for laminate furniture.

2. A strange solution for the selfie-taker with no friends. (Can you imagine carrying that around?!?)
3. Hell, by personality type.
4. This light must. be. mine.

5. We're getting a pet this weekend and I am not terribly excited about it. Unless I can teach it to paint or assemble Ikea cabinets. That would be fantastic.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

1. I am drawn to bright, clean colors in my home but there's just something lately about black that's making my heart go pitter patter.

2. I love the sliding barn door trend, but bookcases? Mind officially blown. Now I have to convince myself that it's totally reasonable to block a doorway with giant rolling furniture.

3. We have these pendants in our kitchen and they were pricey. I wish I has seen this Ikea hack two years ago!

via

4. Love all the plants in this bathroom.

5. Milwaukeeans: I know many of you have already checked this restaurant out, but just wanted to remind you that it's awesome.

Happy weekend, everyone! Paint something black and make me jealous. post signature

This idea is just brilliant.

Creepy wall art, anyone?

And this one is just ridiculous. Never leave home without your teddy!

3. Have a hard-to-buy-for cat loving' lady on your Christmas list this year? May I suggest....

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I've been out of commission this week with flu. Thankfully I am better and the kiddos didn't catch it from me.
Let's get to the High Five of the week!
1. World's Best Dad? I laughed out loud at some of these photos.

2. All natural peppermint playdoh with essential oils. Just might make this for myself...

3. Here's a holiday guide of goings-on in the Milwaukee area for the local peeps.
4. Dressing for a cause this month.
5. Starting a new hipster business and need a name? Look no further. I mean, Look & Further. Have a great weekend, all!
