Life is Good®, the Boston-based lifestyle brand dedicated to spreading the word about optimism, released the limited-edition Boston Love Tee to honor the people lost, injured and impacted by the tragic events that surrounded the Boston Marathon.
“We’re filled with gratitude for the courageous acts of goodness shown on the part of thousands of others,” said Bert Jacobs, chief executive optimist of Life is good. “Our hearts go out to all of the victims and those impacted by the unprecedented events that occurred.”
The t-shirt (in both men’s and women’s sizes) will only be available for a limited time. 100% of the profits from the Boston Love Tee will go to The One Fund. Get yours today to show your support and to show everyone we are “Boston Strong”.
Never underestimate the power of play. Playtime isn’t just fun, it is the medium where people, particularly children, explore, learn, connect and fully engage with the world around them. Play is an integral part in our psychological, emotional and physical growth, especially in the formative years of childhood.
This is why Life is good®, the brand committed to spreading the power of optimism, is donating 10% of its net profits to the Life is good Kids Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to help kids in need overcome poverty, violence and illness through the power of joyful play.
The Foundation directly funds the Life is good Playmakers Program, which provides training and support to childcare professionals, who use these tools to ensure that children grow up feeling safe, loved and joyful.
Through programs of play intervention, children in less than ideal situations are given the opportunity to develop a foundation of competence, self-worth and joy through the power of play. This foundation can have a strong positive impact on the rest of their life…and that’s a cause that’s greater than just child’s play!

Taking the kids on a fun picnic at the park is a great way to spend some precious quality time with them. There’s just something about eating outside underneath blue skies and green trees that brings out the kid in all of us. The first thing to remember when planning a picnic with your little ones is to make sure they’re dressed in comfy clothes that they can move around in. Don’t forget to slip them into some comfy shoes, preferably ones with hook-and-loop closures so you don’t have to mess with shoelaces all day while they run around on the grass.
Here are five more handy little tips to make the most out of your fun family picnic:
1. Picnic Food: Pack food in plastic containers with lids or cover with plastic wrap or foil to keep them from spoiling and protect them from bugs. Keep food away from direct sunlight and remember that certain foods like mayonnaise and eggs can spoil easily and cause food poisoning if they sit too long.
2. Clothing: Pack a change of clothes for your little ones in case they get food or dirt on them. Cotton garments are best because they’re more breathable.
3. Toys and Games: Bring their favorite outside toys to keep them occupied after lunch. Board games are also fun to play as a family during picnics.
4. Safety First: Keep a first aid kit in the car just in case the kids get scrapes and cuts. Of course, sunscreen is a must to keep their skin safe from the sun.Kid-friendly bug repellent is also a good idea to keep them protected.
5. Cleanup: Bring a roll of paper towel, a trash bag and antibacterial wet wipes to make cleanup a breeze.

The Life is good Festival was a tremendous success, with almost 30,000 attendees enjoying the two days of great music and fun for a good cause. They raised over $500,000 for the Life is good Kids Foundation and its mission of helping kids overcome life-threatening challenges including violence, illness and extreme poverty. The festival took place on a 40-acre plot at Prowse Farm. Whether it was Grace Potter and the Nocturnals pumping the soundwaves with psychedelic riffs or Ben Harper and Relentless7 rocking out Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix covers, there was a little something for everyone. As much as the event was a musical event, attendees really embraced the philanthropic angle, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to help improve children’s quality of life.
