my favorite romp

Thumbnail image for my favorite romp

One of my all-time favorite online shops is closing it’s virtual doors. Sigh, help me say goodbye to Romp. They have been my go-to destination for unique-quality-timeless-yet-quirky items that I can’t find anywhere else. A moment of silence, please. Okay, but on the brighter side, they’re offering an awesome discount code to help clear out […]

modern toys from julabug

Thumbnail image for modern toys from julabug

I’ve found that even in our fairly large metro area, the only way to find a thorough selection of my favorite modern and/or organic toys is to go online. Some websites are definitely more friendly than others. Sometimes it’s better to stick locally. But Julabug seems to be one of the friendliest I’ve seen yet. They […]

I’m going to give in and start a semi-regular post about dolls, because I keep finding more, More, MORE! I can’t deny it, I have a thing for handmade dolls of all shapes, sizes, and colors. But today’s finds from Timo Handmade more than just sweet girlie dolls, there are modern gnomes, men with glasses, […]

best kids balance bikes – wishbone bikes

Thumbnail image for best kids balance bikes – wishbone bikes

There are products that just floor with me, and today I get to feature one of those companies: Wishbone Design. Have you heard of balance bikes yet? They’re this generation’s answer to training wheels. A balance bike is a small pedal-less bike that helps young kids learn to balance on two wheels before graduating to […]

the natural side of teething time

Thumbnail image for the natural side of teething time

My 2 and half year old has always been a little slow when it comes to getting her teeth. I’ve heard – and firmly believe – that getting teeth later means better teeth and a smarter kid. So I’ll brag about it. Should I say it again? No? You got it the first time? Oh, […]

I love knowing you’re out there reading, commenting and sharing your finds with me. In return, could you pay it forward and vote for me here? If nothing else, you can “meet” me via my sassy video – thanks! These are the little stuffed munchkins (aka, plush) that have been tickling my fancy lately. With […]

guest who? The English Muffin Blog

Well, potty training isn’t going so well at the moment. Birdie is finishing up a cold, plus she just doesn’t seem interested and I’m not going to force it (that appears to be rule numero uno). Still, we’re enjoying some craftiness and laziness and music and dreary indoor weather together which is nice until she […]

kooky is better

Kooky Australian brand Chunky Chooky Rattles make me smile a little bigger on yet another (snowy) Monday morning. Baby safe and much cooler than the crap in the baby aisle at Tar-shay, n’est pas? Plus, they’re made from upcycled materials and eco corn fiber filling (that’s no polyfill, peeps, and way cool). I wish I’d […]

I’ve been eyeballing Wry Baby’s new line of Stuf since I saw it at ABC Kids in October. Now that they’re available at my local Walker Art Center, it’s time to hoard. You can join me online (or at the Walker for Arty Pants Tuesdays!) to choose between Stuf Pirates, Stuf Birds, and Developmental Stuf. […]

ooh ooh ooh, monkeys!

Thumbnail image for ooh ooh ooh, monkeys!

For whatever long-winded combination of toddler-based reasons, my little 2 year old is in love with monkeys. She likes kitties, and puppies too, but to hear her yell “ooh ooh ooh” every time we see a primate is rather hilarious. Being the toy-obsessed mother that I am (hey, it’s my business, afterall!) I’ve been on […]

I always get such a thrill when I find a new company to share with you! Meet the J.I.P. (Junior In Progress) Collection.Though they’re not so new in Europe, they are new to the U.S. In fact, it seems their toys aren’t even available stateside. Luckily for us, we can enjoy their tongue-firmly-in-cheek approach to […]

babies and their heirlooms

I’m still riding high off of a very good evening out with some good momma friends (sans kids). I’m so lucky and honored to have found them all – connecting with moms going through what your going through is priceless! Two of my pals are in the latter stages of their second pregnancies right now, […]

i’m a unicorn kind of gal

Thumbnail image for i’m a unicorn kind of gal

It’s the holidays, did you know? I tend to relax some of my stricter price restrictions this time of year. This is your best bet to splurge on gifts that show you really care. But then I regress, trying to get the most bang for my gift-giving buck. Next think you know I’m once again […]

mimishop for me me and you you

Thumbnail image for mimishop for me me and you you

Has etsy ever done a how-to article on finding products in their mega-site? I swear their weekly emails showcase the coolest stuff – toys, clothes, and other wants that when I search for something similar never show up? I guess that’s why I love their emails so much because I find funky things like mimishop. […]
