Playgoda

Los Angeles' own Gregg Fleishman has created the Playgoda.  With a slot design, the play structure can be easily rearranged.  

How fun would it be for a school age child to help design and put together her own playground?  Sounds like weekends full of play!

Boot Rack

Keeping a home clean and organized is a constant task and we love anything that simplifies the cleaning routine.  This boot rack is the perfect thing(available at Gempler's).  Hang the snowy, muddy, wet boots before they have a chance to touch the floor.  If you mount it low enough the tots can hang their own.  Love it.

This makes us so happy, too!

Okay, so we admit that we are a little late to the party on this one- but HOLY COW! But this has simply tickled us pink as our grandmother used to say! Sometimes, when researching procrastinating we surf through our favorite blogs, check in with our favorite shops, you know how it is. We found this through Le Cirque Des Enfants, who in turn found this through The Neo-Traditionalist. Drum roll please.

We present to you this delightful app for the iphone- POST byGADABOUTIT, INC.

Create your own invites or notes and send them via text or email! How great is that! While we will always adore the proper post, this is just too sweet not to partake. We are grabbing ours tonight and will surely be pestering many of you with sweet little somethings here and there!

Blank Canvas

The New York Times ran an article a few years ago about a mother who let her children turn her "trophy penthouse" furniture into art.  We're not sure we could go this far . . . but we love that she did!

Topozoo

These adorable puzzle friends are made from recycled wood (which is formaldehyde free) right here in the USA. We love it when toys serve multiple functions! These can be taken apart and rebuilt. Build a zoo animal or let you imagination take flight and create your own new creature! Made by Topozoo.

Baby Suommo

Baby Suommo has some rad nursery gear.  Here are some of their luxury "cots":

Alphabet Grahams

There's nothing like a homemade Graham Cracker and the delightful blog Monkey Lobster made these adorable letter Grahams.  We've made Graham Crackers a bunch of times but we've never traced letters on them.  How cute are these?

Urban Baby

Urban Baby has created a line of bibs and other bits that are whimsical and eco-friendly. Their bibs and placemats are made from fused plastic bags- Love that!
Also, if you have a wee one who takes a nap at daycare or preschool- check out their Tot Cot, this all in one roll-up invention not only will make nap time easier at school, but you are also saving the planet!

Preppy New Year!

Tooby*Doo is ringing in the New Year in preppy style.  Here are the standouts for boys:

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday and that your New Year is off to a great start!  

We're loving MAGAZIN from Ding3000(via Design-Milk).  A mini-house to store your reading materials and the best part is . . . the roof will hold your page.  We envision wee ones playing at your feet while using the MAGAZIN as their own dollhouse.  Win-win.
