The idea of matching outfits with my kids was never really a thing - even when we went to Disneyland, but there is something about the Senna Case Rayne pullover that had me picturing my teen and me in matching styles. This gender-inclusive apparel is soft, comfortable and cut to be stylish, not sloppy. You’ll find matching styles for kids and adults. And yes, I did get my teen to pose with me in our matchy-matchy sweatshirts.

I love a good positive message and Zox wristbands are perfect. The bands are made from recycled water bottles and are reversible and comfortable with beautiful art on one side and a positive message on the other. My 9-year-old and I say “I love you to the moon and back” nearly every day. When his Zox arrived with that message, he just lit up – “Mom! This is what we say!” Pretty special.

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Makes: about 18 hearts (depending on the size of the cookie cutter)

1 cup whipping cream 1 teaspoon powdered sugar 1 package frozen puff pastry, defrosted ½ cup fresh raspberries (or mixed berries)

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 2. Unfold the puff pastry and cut into hearts using heart-shaped cookie cutters. 3. Place the puff pastry hearts on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. 4. In the bowl of a standing mixer, or with an electric mixer whip the cream on medium- high speed for 2-3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat on high for 30 more seconds or until thick and fluffy. 5. Remove hearts from the oven and allow to cool completely. Slice hearts in half. Top the bottom half with whipped cream and berries, and place the other half on top to form a sandwich.
