baby & kids: babesta 03.13.2012

My heart skipped a beat when I saw all the cuteness on my new fave site, babesta.com. Wowsers, this stuff is adorable! And lucky for me, a certain little someone is having a birthday soon. Am thinking he needs something cute to wear for his big day.

house & home: kelly green 02.17.2012

>

Each year, when I’ve just about had it with all the winter grays, I am desperate for a burst of intense color and it usually lands somewhere in my home (my wardrobe is already a a full rainbow). Kelly green in interiors is not a new idea, but something about it just feels perfect right now–it can go traditional, modern or even a perfect gender-neutral option for a kid’s room! Are any of you already rocking kelly green in your home? We’d love to see!

    >Kelly green is my favorite shade of green. I'm now obsessed with the bed in the first image. I always love the bold pieces you share.

    >This shade is stunning! Reminds me of St. Patrick's Day – crisp spring air and green beer. The green bed IS pretty fabulous, but my favorite is the kitchen wall with the white shelves and cabinets. I can imagine it pairs well with bronze accents, too.

baby & kids: plan toys 01.10.2012

As new parents, we both love toys that the kiddos enjoy, of course, but it’s a big bonus when we love looking at them, too. Plan Toys are the perfect combination of the two. The toys are at once timeless, fresh and great for learning. They are also really well made and hold up (even when used by active little boys). Equally important is is the way they’re made: from sustainable rubberwood, non-toxic materials and green manufacturing.  Plan Toys gets an A from us!

So, it is no secret that we’re huge fans of Jonathan Adler (see some evidence of our love here) , so the only question is: Why didn’t he team up with Skip Hop back when we were diaper bag shopping? All you ladies who are pregnant right now or have tiny babes, just count yourself as having great timing. The bags hit stores December 5th.
