I’m loving these teeny tiny gumball machines. They’re 5″ tall and come with 30 gumballs. I kind of want to plan a bubble-themed party around them. Update: I ordered one of these, and while small and adorable, it is made out of a cheapy looking plastic. Why I thought I could buy a metal gumball […]

Teresa left a comment a few days ago about Target’s knockoff of the Pottery Barn Bedford Desk, and from the photos, it looks even more like the Bedford than the JC Penney version that I bought several months ago. I think it’s the square “feet” on the bottom that I like the best. It comes […]

If you live in Phoenix, or find yourself in our fine city with some time for shoe shopping, I’d recommend swinging by Last Chance. It’s the end of the funnel for all Nordstrom returns, imperfect items and discontinued items. I’m pretty sure it’s the only one of its kind in the country. The quality varies, […]

I think bamboo is the new soybean. It’s everywhere! Once just a lucky plant that you rarely had to water, it’s now made into fun dishes and sporks for kids, flooring, sheets, serving bowls, and super soft clothing that’s naturally antimicrobial, wicks moisture, and gives you a gentle massage. Okay I made up that last one. But […]

I think my daughter is graduating from the bow phase to the ponytail phase. I just might have to get these cute little Lily Pulitzer fabric covered button ponytail holders from the LiliBug shop on Etsy. I ordered this bow from Lisa at LiliBug earlier this year and love it. $4 for a set of […]

Something about these his and hers monkey bento accessories just makes me happy. They’re made for packing mayo in bento lunches. Maybe they’d be a cute way to pack up some peanut butter and jelly for lunchtime spreading, so the bread wouldn’t get all soggy? Probably not very practical, since I just looked and they’re […]

My dad gave this book to us when my son was almost 2 years old. It had been a favorite of his when he was a little boy. I know. It’s very impressive how much my dad remembers from his childhood. I went to the same summer camp he did when he was a kid, […]

If you’re looking for an earth-friendly paper plate alternative for your picnics and BBQs, take a look at these biodegradable Potato Paks. They’re made in New Zealand from the starch that comes from the water during the potato washing and cutting process, before the spuds are turned into french fries. That dried starch is then […]

I’m thinking these Office Basics magazine holders would be a fairly inexpensive way to add a nice splash of color on top of my newish desk. And Pottery Barn’s Bridget Rug would add even more pop to the room. And look how great they’d complement each other. A sign I’m mean to bring them together, […]

I wrote about making ice cream in a bag not too long ago, and now I’ve learned that you can also make homemade slushies in a bag. Ah, sweet cold lemon goodness. It’s an activity, science project and snack all in one. Just fill a big ziploc with ice and 3 tablespoons or so of […]
