Good Vibes for Laura
For those who don’t know, the gPants print above was designed for gPants back in 2005. Everyone loved the print out of the gate, both the boy and the girl version, the colors, the gWords, the vibe they gave off. We aptly named them Good Vibes Boy and Good Vibes Girl.

gLove for Syrian refugees: Carry the Future

Yet true to g spirit, our conversation quickly evolved into a plan of action—to connect with global moms and dads in a personal, meaningful way. One of the gMums suggested an agency that’s...
