Welcome back, friend! Hope you had a restful, festive holiday weekend celebrating Independence Day! We’re in the final week of our 5 weeks of A Daily Something 5th birthday giveaways. We partnered with FIVE of our favorite brands for 5 weeks of giveaways, and today we’re launching our final giveaway in partnership with Gathre, and giving away a product that I’ve been of awe in for a while! Gathre is giving away one of their MAXI LEATHER MATS. These bonded leather mats are genius: they fold up more compactly than a blanket, can be wiped clean, are water proof & super durable. And they are simply beautiful! I’ve always struggled with picnic/beach blankets, because I want my outdoor experiences with friends and family to be a beautiful one. Gathre has solved this problem!

I love their ethos, too. Our children are the reason we do what we do. We hope to get down and connect with them in the grand and simple moments that are all around us. Those moments are often fleeting and go unnoticed but our mission at Gathre is to inspire people to recognize and appreciate those moments. We are encouraged by the call to gather. Gather memories. Gather loved ones. Gather adventure. And gather the beautiful! Ralph Waldo Emerson has said, “Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” 

Here, we’re gathering flowers and picnicking at my favorite local pick your own flower farm, and we’re using the Gray Maxi Mat.
