My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow

The My Brest Friend nursing pillow is on my short list of essential products for a new breastfeeding mom. Unfortunately, I didn’t get one of these until my second child. Silly me. I even went to a breastfeeding class when pregnant with my first baby, and the instructor told us that we needed to get [...]

This site sells tons of t-shirts, mugs, pillows, bibs, onesies and [...]

Cardboard Suitcases

I have seen so many items made out of cardboard lately — everything from the tabletop puppet theater we bought for $4 at IKEA a few weeks ago to an actual cardboard crib that costs hundreds of dollars.

PB & J the fun way!

This peanut butter & jelly spreader from Williams-Sonoma looks so yummy, I want to take a lick. It’s one of the many new kids kitchen items at the wsKids section of Williams-Sonoma.com.
Wouldn’t this make a fun little gift for the host of kid-centric event, paired with an unusual peanut butter? Maybe P.B. loco’s Peanut Butter [...]

Bumkins Waterproof Bibs

There are three reasons why I need to get some Bumkins Waterproof Bibs. First, my friend Ashleigh has long recommended these as great bibs to take along in your bag because they fold down to practically nothing and they dry super-quick. Next, my daughter is transitioning from the sippy cup, we we could really use [...]

Reisenthel Market Baskets

If you’re looking for a stylish grocery basket with a flat bottom, I love the look of these German Reisenthel Market Baskets. Also good for picnicking in the park, going to the farmer’s market, gathering vegetables from the garden, or other European countryside-like activities. Available in red, black, olive, or flora print.
On a related note, [...]

My son loves construction. Seeing a Road Work Ahead sign is cause for celebration. He was telling me this afternoon that he wished his play construction set had a Detour sign. I had a eureka moment when I thought to use Google and find some Detour sign graphics to print out and make our own [...]

Candy Heart Themed Gifts

The 12-year old in me loves this candy heart journal and Necco Sweethearts-inspired fragrance. I’ve written about these recycled journals before, and can now vouch for the great quality since receiving my Cinnamon Life book.
And if you’re ever looking for unusual fragrances, you should check out demeterfragrance.com. They have a strangely comprehensive selection of [...]

Valentine Crown

I spent much of the day cutting out hearts with my kids and decorating the house, so I’m very much in the Valentine state of mind. I like the thought of surprising my kids with Valentine crowns and having a special Valentine’s Day breakfast.
I am newly inspired by the blog simply breakfast which features [...]
