Spellmaster Educational Toy Review

My daughter is going to be just like me I suspect when it comes to reading and writing… very passionate about both. Learning to read was her idea and every day she works on building her list of words she can spell, write, and read. In the car she spells random words, in the grocery [...]

How to Avoid the Poison in Your Pantry

Steps You Can Take to Make Eating Canned Food Healthier and Safer… Until recently, when I started eating less raw and cooking more in an attempt to win over my husband and ease us all into a more meatless existence I hadn’t used canned food in quite some time. I understood that there were issues with [...]

Fruit and Muffins on Brochette

My 5 year old daughter made breakfast for us on Saturday. She picked a recipe from one of her cookbooks (the girl’s collection rivals my own) and she chose Fruit and Muffins on Brochette. The recipe is from the Pink Princess Tea Parties book. It is very simple, just mini blueberry muffins and assorted fruit [...]

WildCraft – A Game for Holistic Families

We love to  play games in this house or uh… couldn’t tell ya by this post on educational games, or this post on eco theme board games? Until my kids can give me a run at Gin Rummy, Hearts, or Bonco then board games do the trick. For MANY months now the favorite for my kids has been The [...]

Gaming Controllers For Your Tree

I’m not a huge fan of video games, but I am a huge fan of Christmas.  These caught my eye not only because they are an unusual addition to the tree, but because plenty of my friends are into gaming and would probably love these.  Sold as a set of 7 (including the traditional NES [...]

Vintage?

Is this not one of the coolest bookcases you’ve ever seen?  Designed by Jaren Goh, it’s designed to blend the “flamboyance of the baroque style with the simplicity of the contemporary approach”. Well said and beautifully illustrated. I love blending two very different styles together, and often do this in my home, like my modern [...]

How close is too close for an alarm clock?

I don’t know what I think about this. An alarm clock actually built into the bed sheet, yup that’s the Melted Clock.  This touch sensitive alarm clock, speakers, and control are built into the sheet, with three control icons embroidered to it. It’s unclear to me if these are actually available yet, but I do [...]

Quick Six

Six furniture gifts that ship quick! Though furniture makes an excellent gift, long lead times mean it may already be too late to get it from many sources. That’s why when when I saw Inmod’s new Quick Ship Classics announced on their blog today, I knew I had to let you know. [...]

Clutch

Take a look at this chair!  Called the Clutch Chair, it’s made from 10,000 drinking straws. This chair comes from designer Scott Jarvie and is intended to comment on our “disposable culture”.  Whether or not you agree, you have to admit that this chair is pretty cool to look at. See more, including a Clutch Light, [...]
