Bamboosa Gift Set Giveaway

After writing about the bamboo headband last week, I got a nice thank you email from Mindy at Bamboosa. She asked if I’d be interested in doing a giveaway, and of course I said yes. She told me their socks are very popular, so I said I’d love to do a giveaway of their “Gift [...]

A Book for Baby

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, [...]

Lubber Totes

If you’ve been looking for a purse to match your Crocs - and by match, I mean look exactly like — then I’d say these Lubber Totes fit the bill. The bottom of the purse is even shaped like a shoe. Just make sure you don’t accidentally walk out of the house with your foot [...]

Green Toys Tea Set

I’m a real tea set lover, so it’s been hard deciding which one to get my daughter for her second birthday. I think I’ve decided on this one from Green Toys. Like all the company’s toys, it’s made from recycled plastic milk jugs. It contains no BPA or phthalates and is safe to eat and [...]

Stacking Rainbow

I was delighted to get a package from Natural Pod last week containing this Small Stacking Rainbow and a few other goodies I’ll tell you about soon. I have long admired this stacking rainbow because to me, it represents the simplicity and beauty of natural wood toys in general. The layers are made from solid [...]

Chalkboard Magnet Coasters

I love the multipurpose-ness of these chalkboard magnet coasters. I’ve had the chalkboard/magnet combo on my mind lately, since learning about Yoyamart’s Chalkboard Magnetic Paint (which I plan to paint a puppet theater with soon). Then I came across these little discs which take it a step further. When you’re not using them as a [...]

Beaba Babycook at Williams Sonoma

I read about the Beaba Babycook on Babyccino a while back, and thought it was a genious gadget. At that time, it was only available in Europe, but now it’s for sale in the US at a mall near you. So what is it? It’s a French baby food maker that steams and then purees [...]

Dylan's Candy Bar

I know it’s kind of crazy to write about candy when I can still feel my teeth rotting from the zillion jelly beans I’ve eaten over the past few days. But I can’t not share this candy-colored lunchbox filled with one and a half pounds of Swedish Fish. If you’re ever looking for a fun [...]

LiliBug Hair Bows and Clips

Just in time for spring, I stumbled on the LiliBug Boutique on Etsy. My daughter is 18 months old, so I’m just starting to get into girly hair accessories. And looking through the choices of flowers, butterflies and bows of every color, I can see how this could turn into an addiction. Pink and green [...]
