It’s a quick post today – I’m running behind but I certainly didn’t want to leave you in the lurch. Mondays in particular need a good dose of design to keep us going. How about these sweetheart dolls from Mio Mucaro Creatures? Each doll is made with 100% Cotton fabric (custom printed with Eco-friendly, water-based ink) and […]

The first week of November is already over and I can’t even believe it! It’s so hard to flip the switch from Halloween to Thanksgiving and the holidays, at least for me. Plus, everyone is having this unseasonably warm Fall, which makes it harder to imagine what’s just around the corner. I have so much […]

I’ve been staring around my home the last couple of weeks in dismay. Where did all the clutter come from? How does it keep growing? I need to be more vigilant. It’s time to start thinking of clutter solutions! How about only buying miniature things? I’d start with these little toys from Mirianata. Teeny tiny […]

Ok, quick, before the the Holidays with a capital “H” take over. What comes after New Years? Valentines’ Day, and even though you may not think you need to worry about it now, let’s just think for a second. Are you ever prepared for Valentine’s Day? I’m not, because I’m too busy with everyone else. […]

playtime: dress like a rockstar

Sometimes you just need to get down on the floor and play with your kids. I was pretty psyched to do exactly that when we created these images inspired by Jem and the Holograms. It was an epic mother-daughter playdate afternoon! We dressed up like Jem, made rockstar T-shirts, and hosted our own rockstar “tea” […]

For the first time in weeks, I had a slower, calmer work day yesterday. It was almost pleasant. I had time to answer my emails, wrap up some loose ends on a few projects, and in general, breathe. All in all, I felt much like these sweet dolls from Kathryn Davey. Calm faces, restful poses, […]

So I’ve heard this rumor that Christmas is coming. I’m not saying that I’ve started planning out gift ideas or bought anything for Christmas gifts, because I most definitely haven’t. However, it seems a good time to begin to let things … percolate, you know what I mean? Yoxo Building Sets is a great place […]

Denim. It’s everywhere. Yet, it’s really rare to see it done well in toys – unless you’re looking at a Bratz doll, maybe. It seems Evie Barrow has found a way to make denim and stuffed toys look just right. The Sweet Dreams characters are each one of a kind, with faded, well-loved denim and […]

Let’s start with the fact that Land of Nod has just announced their Holiday assortment of toys and other goodies. And I’d like pause for a moment to absorb the reality that the Holidays really aren’t all that far away. Sigh. Okay, now that we’ve had our moment of silence, we can enjoy the cuteness that […]

Toddlers and food. They may be cute, and say funny things, and squish you tight over and over, but toddlers can be little terrors when it comes to food! I can’t guarantee that the Munch Eco Hero Feeding Set will calm the savage beast that is your toddler saying nononononono. But, at least it’s cute enough […]

My 6 year old’s blankie is turning into one of those childhood relics: frayed edges, holes in the corners, and threadbare spots. She keeps asking me to sew it up, but I can’t, it’s not the kind of holes you can repair. But it’s also a memento of a childhood full of love and comfort, […]
