Say "I Love You" with leggings

Say "I Love You" with leggings
I'm always reluctant to fork over cash for Valentine's Day clothing for my girls that they'll only wear on February 14. But the new spring collection from CMP-fave Luna Leggings is perfect for Valentine's Day or any day. And even better, your purchase could make a child in need's day special too. We're big fans of Luna Leggings for good reason: the funky designs are made to last through lots of rough and tumble play (yes, girls can be rough too!) and many washes. And they're dedicated to keeping their carbon footprint low, using organic fabrics, recycled packaging and paper products, and soy-based inks. I love that they've launched their spring collection early, especially since the Spring Heart design is so perfect for Valentine's Day. Hooray for hearts that aren't pink, or at least that's what my oldest would say. I'm partial to the butterfly footless tights myself, which won't be a hard sell to my girls. We're butterfly-crazy around my place. But maybe what I appreciate most of all is that for every pair of the new Luna Leggings spring collection purchased, they'll donate one to Project Night Night, a wonderful charity that helps provide essentials to homeless children. Awesome. -Kristen  Purchase the new Luna Leggings spring collection on their website.
