Moop Kids!

I love my Moop Market Bag - so was obviously excited when they introduced their kids! line.

If you like, they will even personalize it with your child's name!

Baby Bean Vintage Daywear

I stumbled upon Baby Bean Vintage Daywear at a neighborhood childrens store a few weeks ago and I have to tell you I'm completely smitten. Started by Christine Visneau in 2004, each collection is "crafted from and inspired by" vintage fabrics and handmade by Christine and a few stay at home moms in Dallas, Texas.



Most of all I love the simpleness of the silhouettes combined with the fun of the vintage fabrics.

Take Your Lunch to Work (Day)

I have a fantasy that someday I will take lunch to work, not only to save money but to eat more healthfully. To encourage myself and inspired by all this talk of waste-free school lunches, I took a look at what Etsy had to offer in the way of lunch transportation devices.

Can of worms.

I am treating myself to a series of classes this fall / winter with John Lyons of The Woven Garden. Classes are once a month at Green and Greener in Valley Village. Final class is gardening with children. You can take the series as a whole, or individual classes. (More info on Green and Greener classes here.)

First class on composting and vermicomposting was amazing!

Now I want this for my birthday.

Remember, Remember

Here is a beautiful solution for capturing all the classic things your kids say before you forget them: remembrance notes in a jar, from inchmark. Just love it.
