Modern Love/ Movie Peg

"The no hands stand for movies & more" These clever Movie Pegs are amazing. You can use your ipad or iphone for an alarm clock- Watch project runway while you use the t.v. for working out. Entertain your kids smudge free on your ipad when they wake up in the early wee hours of the morning while on vacation. {why do they always do this when you're on vacation!} You can even use them on your lap to get that laptop angle- saving your neck from years of chiropractic hell.

the movie peg for iphone comes on six rad colors

oh & did I mention the Movie Peg comes in orange!

* the two circles click into one another so you can keep your movie pegs together- genius...

The Washable Squashable High Chair

We take our Ikea high chairs everywhere with us, even on our 12 hour road trip to Arizona! {actually we took 2- luckily we have the swager wagon} Would have been nice though to have one of these Washable Squashable Totseats from The Spoon Sisters online store.

I'm also loving these Constructive Eating Utensils. My not so little anymore boy was always a good eater but he would have loved eating even more with these spoon & fork shaped trucks. Shoot I may buy them for myself..

Room Makeover

How fabulous is my friend Karin's birthday surprise bedroom makeover to her almost 14 year daughter Sofie? Seriously she sent the kid off to a slumber party & the kid came back to this. LUCKY! Don't die laughing when you read Karin's blog. She one of my most hilarious friends...

yes I cried watching this- I have watched her grow up for the last 4 years

Leotard Fever

Wouza! My sister Lisa finally launched her leotard line Eleve Dancewear! How beautiful are these leotards & these dancers. {all from the kansas city ballet- quixotic fusion- owen/cox dance group or jacoby & pronk contemporary dance} If you're in the dance world you know how hard it is to get a decent leotard - not only one that fits great but looks really cool as well.

If you go onto the Eleve Dancewear site you get to put your leotard together one piece at a time. You start by picking your base which can be a solid color or print.

Then you can pick either mesh, print or a solid color at the top. Have fun getting started with your custom made leo. You have so many leotards to choose from it may be really hard…

Super Slide

A long staircase next to a super slide- which way would you go? Are you driven by fun is Volkswagon's new slogan for one of their new cars the Polo GTI

How awesome is this fast lane slide. This would be a dream to have in the N.Y.C. especially when I have my huge suitcase. I would just send it down first then follow with a huge smile/crazy look on my face.



♻ h is for handmade

I'd also love to go grocery shopping with a cart like this.

{if it wasn't so dangerous i'd put a skate board on my stroller today}

New Listing

I Just listed these on Etsy {one of the cutest baby's ever- not included}

Cocktail Party

I love these D.I.Y. Cocktail Party invites that Anna Bond (from the Rifle Paper Co) made for Martha Stewarts craft dept. You can find the template on the Martha Stewart site. {if you don't drink & you know a little illustrator you can change the cocktail to mocktail}



Be sure to check out Anna's shop. Such amazing stationary & prints

Mad Men's Back!

Did you watch? I sort of felt like they left us out of part of their lives instead of really starting from where they left off- but I really can't complain... Can't wait to see what this season brings

I found this poster on Grassroots Modern. Have you seen this blog. It's modern love to the next level. The designer of the poster is Olly Moss. Check out his photo stream on Flickr good stuff.

Leave it to Sesame Street to teach happy & sad through a Mad Men parody
