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.
On a related note, [...]

Tell me this isn’t the cutest stuffed tooth you’ve ever seen. With that little pocket on the butt. Come on! Suddenly I’m excited for my kids to start losing their teeth. Soft and cushy, and made of 100% pima cotton, say the makers of this sweet tooth fairy pillow.
And, like all knits offered by Oeuf, [...]

A sweet little gift for your kids. Comes with heart design package and instructions to warm this wheat heating pad in the microwave. Gabrielle at Design Mom helped her daughter make some similar wheat heating pads, and said they work like a “band aid or a mother’s kiss”. Seems so much gentler than a Boo [...]

Last week I became enamored with the smooth little brown trays my organic bosc pears were packaged in at Trader Joe’s. I have been using them to stash things here and there. The trays were labeled “Earthcycle“, so I went to their website to see if they sold any earth-friendly consumer products. Unfortunately, it looks [...]

If you’ve been considering getting some Baggu reusable shopping bags (but were hoping someone would give you two of them as a gift to try out before deciding if you should go ahead and get three… or maybe six) then you’ve come to the right place!

There are moms who buy sleek leather-trimmed MomAgendas to keep themselves organized. And there are moms like me who buy Cinnamon Life recycled spiral notebooks to keep their lists. Okay, I wouldn’t cry if my husband decided to put a MomAgenda in my stocking this year. But these recycled notebooks are so crazy and fun. [...]

One of the best tips I’ve received this year is to give my three year old a flashlight to keep on his bedside table - for when he hears a noise or thinks he sees something creepy in his room. It has really empowered him and helped him get to sleep much easier. But with [...]

My Baggu reusable grocery bags arrived this week! Although I haven’t actually gone grocery shopping with them yet, I did use one at Cost Plus this weekend while purchasing some Mrs. Myers dish soap, a little tray and some Barry’s tea. So, what do I think so far? First, I love how compact my Baggus [...]

Since I’ve had holiday table decorating on my mind, I thought I’d share a great find that could be used either for the kids’ holiday table, or as a stocking stuffer. Sunset Magazine had a nice article with holiday placesetting ideas. I liked their use of these natural twig colored pencils, with a piece of [...]
