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.

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 [...]

No more tossing those cardboard sleeves into the trash. And before you say “oh but I’d just forget it when I go buy my coffee…” note the little metal clip and black band. The clip attaches to your keychain and the band keeps it rolled up in a cylinder about the size of a lip [...]

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.
