I Heart Naptime

tape + colors

Ever since I saw the tape installment for Kate Spade by Rebecca Ward I have been obsessed with tape. These colors from The Tinted Mint are calling me!  I just ordered and can't wait to start my first "tape" project.

Pom Love

How beautiful are these pom poms from Etsy shop PomLove!  Great for a little girls room, party, shower, etc...

  

I wanna go surfing...

Hudson asks me to replay this song by, The Drums - "Let's Go Surfing" over and over.  I love it too, makes me think of summer, the smell of sunscreen, the beach, and driving with the windows down.  The video paints a different picture so just listen to the song and don't watch the video. :)

The kindergallery is a gallery shop of art by a select group of artists.  They offer original paintings, limited edition works, prints, stretched canvases, box art and wall decals.  I really like this original watercolor by  Meredith Gaston.

safeway and fiber one yogurt giveaway!

I was sent an opportunity to try the new Fiber One Yogurt so I tried the strawberry flavor and I have to say it's really good.  It's only 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber...a great snack and source of calcium.  Through February 9th you can purchase two 4-packs of Fiber One yogurt for only $4 at any of the Safeway family of stores (Vons, Pavilions, Ginaurdi's, Dominicks, Tom Thumbs & Randall).

Also, I've got a great giveaway for you!  Safeway and Fiber One through MyBlogSpark is offering my readers a chance to win a $50 Safeway gift card...who wouldn't like a gift card to help pay for the weekly grocery bill!  Enter by making a comment and tell me which flavor you want to try - vanilla, strawberry, key lime pie, or peach.  One winner will be chosen by Thursday, February 11th.

cool bedding

There is something about black and white bedding that I love.  I think this would look great in a boys room.  Found at By Nord from Denmark

Wishing for the next Cookie Mag...

...I miss it.  I also love the special edition Martha Stewart Baby, circa 2002.  My sister saved them from when she had my nephew and then passed them down to me when I had Hudson.  I am still going back to look for inspiration in them.  Martha, bring it back! Or, can someone come out with the next "Cookie", please! 

 

let's talk high chairs

Bennett has just started solids and we feed her in the Bumbo...it's great for now.  In a couple months she'll be grown out of it and will need a high chair.  There are so many options and there is a right one for everyone's style and needs.  I like simple, easy to clean (ie. no food caught in the cracks that you find a week later), not too big as our house is small, and one that won't bother me to look at as it will be out ALL of the time. I think the Ikea "Antilop" high chair is great.  I had the same one for Hudson but around 2 years he started to use it as a launch pad to the couch and after the two thousandth jump, the high chair cracked...otherwise we would still have it for Bennett.

Best $24.99 you'll spend on baby gear...
