Screw! You know… for kids.
I’m not really quite sure what this is, but it’s called “Screw” and it’s for kids, so that’s pretty cool. Personally, I think it looks like something a kid could really get hurt playing with, but it appears that these crazy looking toys are in fact, children’s furniture… and also toys. They were created by […]
Now you can do “here comes the airplane” with a frickin’ illuminated runway!
I love Think Geek because it’s a one stop shopping expo for my nerdy husband. But who knew they had ridiculously cool baby stuff? Okay, yeah, maybe most of that stuff is actually for kids… but I still maintain that a child couldn’t possibly get as much enjoyment out of the Tauntaun sleeping bag as […]

Unique bunk bed designs + other baby and kid rooms worthy of swooning
Ariel’s post last week about turning her closet into a nursery got me thinking…How else can you creatively use the space you have when you have kids?

The solution for us is going to lie in the liberal use of bunk beds and, as it turns out, that means way more fun anyway! Check out these cool (and totally copy-able, if you’ve got skills like that) bunk bed designs

Have a baby shower coming up? Here are some gift ideas that have tickled my fancy lately… Baby’s First Tattoo: A Memory Book for Modern Parents I have personally seen this book in action and it’s hilarious. Personal favorite? “First time baby tried to latch onto Daddy’s nipple when he wasn’t paying attention.” Rockabye Baby! […]
Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife
This book? Is awesome. I couldn’t put it down, in fact. It’s the memoir of a woman who worked as a midwife her entire life and chronicles her experiences from nursing school to the end of her career. She writes about how childbirth was approached when she was in nursing school during the early 1960s, […]
