The Hanna Andersson sale gets us ready for swimsuit season (hooray!)

The Hanna Andersson sale gets us ready for swimsuit season (hooray!)
So I'm clicking around the Hanna Andersson webshop, just seeing what's what for spring, because I love how durable their clothes are, especially if you've got multiple kids and are familiar with the phrase "hand-me-down." But hey! As it turns out...big sale!
If you're looking for girls or baby dresses, swimsuits or cover-ups, the Hanna Andersson sale makes this the perfect time. I love this stripey girls sundress, now $20 down from $28. Same for the cute pillowcase dresses and tunics which also double as handy beach cover-ups--although the tunics are a bit more at $30, down from $36.

There's plenty for boys too, like these cool UPF 50 swim trunks ($28 down from $38) and a cool skull rash guard that's nothing like the Hanna I remember from years ago.

You can also find a ton of mix-and-match two piece swimwear for girls that's appropriately modest (IMHO) but I happen to love this bright, not shy at all girls tank swimsuit thats down to $28. I'm not crazy about all the big bows and frilly bits on some of the designs, but if you look carefully, there are some less frilly options for you minimalists.





The sale ends April 1 so get on it. It will be dog paddle season before you know it. -Liz

Q&A with children’s book author Shannon Hale

Shannon Hale is the bestselling author behind The Princess in Black series. It's a favorite early chapter book series for kids ages 5–8 and boys love it as much as girls do. Her newest book, Princess in Black and the Trick or Treating Trouble, comes out just in time for Halloween. We talked with her about it as part of our Q&A author series and asked about a few of her favorite things too.
