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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

I spotted these BBQ Chipwood Baskets at Pottery Barn today, marked down to 2 dollars each. I think they’d be perfect for serving the kids snacks outside. Just lay a paper towel or napkin inside, and fill with snacks or a kid-size meal. They’re not plastic, and they’re reusable. Even better than the paper [...]

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 [...]

I received my first PB teen catalog in the mail yesterday. And I must be a teen at heart, because I was loving just about everything in there, with one exception. What teen needs a 37″ plasma tv in the footboard of their bed? Seriously. However I do think these Bahamas Stripe Totes would make [...]

Mother’s Day is May 11. If you’re hoping for breakfast in bed, what better hint to drop than having this bed tray sent to your honey? Or at least print out a photo of the tray, scribble down the ingredients for your favorite breakfast, and leave it in a conspicuous spot.

The day will soon come when I will organize my kitchen. When I do, I’d like to get some Montana Jars and free my flour and sugar from the pantry. I read about these on one of my new favorite blogs, Stephmodo. Available at Target, or…

I kind of feel like I’m cheating on my Baggus by writing about these flip & tumble reusable bags. So I’ll start by saying that I love my Baggus. I really do. I use them constantly - for library books, groceries, gathering oranges from my parents’ trees, toting gear to swim class…you get the [...]

The big fundraising auction for my son’s preschool is coming up later this month. This year the Three’s class is providing a “Costume Cabinet” as our group project. Each family has contributed a different dress-up costume, and they’ll all be housed in IKEA’s Hemnes Kids Wardrobe. So far, we have an astronaut, pirate, cowboy (with [...]
