Laurie-the lunch box is from Lunchopolis. It comes with food containers and a water bottle (promoting a “garbage-free” lunch) and retails for $31.95. It is very cute! Unfortunately it seems to be sold out in most places, though, but I’ve attached a link anyways:

Is Jaya’s dad the same Ben Harper that is a musician (the one who wrote a song for Heath Ledger’s daughter)?

Yes, Jaya and Ellery’s dad is THAT Ben Harper

Jaya has the exact same hair as my daughter! So of course, I think it’s beautiful, but it’s so difficult to control when it’s that type of curly!

Jaya such a beauty. Even with windswept hair. The natural blonde curls will warm the hearts of many.

Lovely family all the way around.
