Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere!

March 8, 2009

While surf­ing the net for kid’s toys, I keep com­ing across mon­sters!  They are seri­ously cute, although I’m not sure who loves them more, the par­ents or the kids.  Here are some of my favorite mon­sters I’ve come across: Mr Mous­ta­chio costs €40 and is avail­able at La Mai­son de Lola Terry and Tina, Bunny Blue […]

The Mooncup Reusable Menstrual Cup

December 9, 2008

I’ve been try­ing to live a greener life, so in that spirit, I fig­ured it was time to give up all the tam­pons and san­i­tary pads I was throw­ing away every month and try out one of the reusable men­strual cups that are on the mar­ket.

September 26, 2008

I, for one, can’t get enough Scan­di­na­vian design. I love the clean lines of the fur­ni­ture and the col­or­ful children’s cloth­ing designs. If I could afford it, I’d have Oliver decked out in a Scan­di­na­vian wardrobe. Yep, that’s right, the stuff is also a lit­tle bit more expen­sive. Also, when com­par­ing to the cloth­ing my […]

How does the World View Public Breastfeeding?

August 4, 2008

This blog hap­pens to be start­ing smack dab in the mid­dle of World Breast­feed­ing Week (Aug 1–7, 2008). I’m a big activist in sup­port of breast­feed­ing (a lac­tivist, so to speak), so I thought I’d cel­e­brate by mak­ing a post each day for the rest of the week that is related to breast­feed­ing.
