In this 6 minute clip, Emily is wishing you a great weekend and sharing her fifth Friday Favorite! Today we continue a special series highlighting some of our favorite brands and partners who are making How'd She Do That? possible each week! Emily is also sharing an update on upcoming guests you can be on the lookout for in the coming weeks. 

Today we highlight Out of Office Designs. Founded in 2019, OOF founder, Brittany Stoffer was living for her time spent #OutOfOffice, traveling to new and exciting places like Mozambique, Bali, and Ibiza. She was inspired by the uniqueness of the different places she visited, and all of the gorgeous colors that she was surrounded by during her travels. This, combined with her love of resort-wear, led to the creation of her first collection of pieces.

#OutOfOffice has come to mean something very different to this ex-jet-setter turned new momma. Shop her brand to find pieces that make you feel like you're on vacation every day — even when you're living in sweatpants!

On this episode of How'd She Do That? Emily welcomes Julie Friedman, founder of Young, Wild, & Friedman onto the show! 

A few years ago, one of Julie's children was diagnosed with a speech disorder coupled with severe anxiety and her doctor recommended incorporating more sensory play opportunities into their daily routine. Julie got to work and began reading and researching ways she could help her family. She started making play dough and assembling sensory bins and saw first-hand how sensory experiences helped calm her child's frustrations. 

In 2017 she started Young, Wild & Friedman as a blog to help other parents integrate sensory play into the lives of their own children. Julie's story is heartwarming, informative, and encouraging! What started as a small family project can now be found in the homes of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Joanna Gaines, and Cameran Eubanks to name a few!

Julie's story reminds us that you're never too old to play and that a mother's love can move mountains. We know you'll enjoy this episode!
