Since I seem to like to spread myself thin like peanut butter and jelly lately (actually that’s a complete lie, I like to spread my PB & J thick and gooey) I’ve joined up doing a once-a-month Nursery Style post for the newly launched and super awesome Kidlet! My beloved Miss Mandy of Harper’s Happenings launched this daily dose of… Read more →

For Better or For Wearst[ler]
These Kelly Wearstler for Sferra pillows are on loco sale at Gilt right now, and if I thought $400 in pillows was an appropriate use of my hard-earned cash, I would totally be all over them. It’s dangerous when I have money to spend. There’s no telling what kind of crazy frivolous nonsense I might try to throw it at,… Read more →
Holy crap this is cool.
So you’re looking at [estonian designer Pavel Sidorenko’s] Smart Kid Conversion Kit, and you’re probably thinking “well, that’s pretty.” And it is. But it’s so much more than that. Is your mind blown? Hold on. This might be my favorite variation. I’ve been trying to get Scott to build almost this exact thing (sans chalkboard back, which is pretty brilliant… Read more →
Sweet Child o’ Mine.
The most exciting thing about my new gig over at Cargoh is watching the marketplace fill up with all of these insanely talented people. I try to keep my new-mom-ness from exploding all over my work, so in an effort to save Cargoh readers from having to sift through feature after feature about the awesome kid-related stuff, I’m going to… Read more →
Like Crack for Design Enthusiasts.
That is approximately 1/3 of the pile of crap I brought home from Dwell on Design to sort through and eventually, in some form or another, write about. The LA Convention Center is BIG (and NOT easy to navigate) and the eye candy was plentiful. Designers and creators were on hand to chat at almost every booth, and as an… Read more →
Take Me Away
How beautiful is this? Scott saw it a few weeks ago and has been trying to figure out what the hell it was so he could show me ever since. Yesterday we played hookey from life, and we finally managed to figure it out. It’s the St. Barts Collection from Restoration Hardware. French mid-century. Gorgeous. Stunning. Like a… Read more →
I’m sorry but I have to talk about my iPad.
Scott got me an iPad for my birthday. I’ve been feeling really guilty about it because, well…let’s just say there’s not exactly a line for pricey frivolous peripherals on our family budget excel spreadsheet. But he did it anyway. And it is totally awesome. And I have to talk about it. So instead of feeling guilty and playing… Read more →
Woah Mamaroo!
I f-in’ hate when products come out like 6 months too late. I would have chosen 4Moms Mamaroo Bouncer over the Peg-Perego Melodia any day of the week, not to mention the [comparably priced] Bloom Coco or BJÖRN Babysitter (which is great for really little babies, because it cradles them and allows them to sit upright earlier, but quickly becomes… Read more →
Succulent Green
The arrival of this CB2 Catalog on my doorstep reminds me of two things: 1. Summer is coming. (I’d be more excited if I didn’t still look pregnant in my ass.) 2. Our Backyard is…in even worse shape than it was when I whined about what bad shape it was in last summer. But last summer, we neglected our yard… Read more →
Hai-Tee
Crew Cuts [J Crew’s freakin’ adorable kid’s line] is selling these sweet Tee’s, and 100% of the proceeds will go to benefit Haiti. J Crew says: “Custom designed by our in house artists with handwritten Creole phrases, this little Tee has a big heart.” And as an added bonus, shipping is free on all Crew Cuts orders.
