A little something for the moms out there. For the last week or so, I've been waking up in the middle of the night because my wedding ring is bothering my hand... strange since it's not too small on anything... I suppose I'm just weird. Anyway, I have been precariously placing it on the night stand next to my bed, hoping and praying that it is still there in the morning. It's such an important symbol of Dave and my love, and since it belonged first to his grandmother (who has been married 60+ years!), just setting it on the table doesn't seem quite right. This morning I jumped on etsy to find a ring dish... turns out they're not just for weddings (you probably already knew that)! My favorite is by paloma's nest, and can be customized to read with any saying you can think of. This would make the perfect, thoughtful Valentine's day present for the special gal in any guy's life *hint* *hint* to my Dear Husband.

big kids week

So I must have babies on the brain, because I haven't posted anything for older kids in quite some time... so here it is "Big Kids Week." Where we'll be featuring neat products for those kiddos who can speak in full sentences!

Monday's Pick: eeboo - eeboo is a company which produces, "beautiful, useful, and well made products for children." All their artwork has a vintage feel, and their products are all educational (and you'll love to look at them)
Their line includes counting cards, composition notebooks, growth charts, good manners cards, puzzles, flash cards, and even a line of products for the preschool set.

My personal favorite was actually featured in Parent's magazine recently : Story Telling cards!
$10/pack, these cards give prompts for telling a creative story of your very own. Take turns with the whole family for a real laugh! They also make the perfect birthday present...
