It's our favorite time of year!  We're back for Project Run + Play's Annual Pantone Party.   We love participating in this yearly tradition because the Pantone of the Year usually takes my girls out of their comfort zone.  It helps them try new colors they wouldn't normally choose and they're on trend!  PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves...
