Eco Friendly Deco and Toys by Our Children’s Gorilla
This Skull Cave by Our Children’s Gorilla is one of the funniest and imaginative play houses I’ve ever seen. And what’s incredible that it’s also super practical, because when the playtime is over, simply roll it up and store it in a drawer. The tag line for this Swedish toy and design company says it all: “The…

Artbird – Retro Daybags and Lunchbags
I have discovered this very sweet, family business that makes the very coolest bags for kids or moms called Artbird! I love their novel lunch bags which are the size of a sandwich baggie… except you can use these over and over and be kind to Mother Nature (see below). I would be great to…

Dreaming Spires Willow Playhouse
Designed and made in Surrey by willow weaver, Judith Needham, the Dreaming Spires Willow Playhouse is a beautiful eco alternative to the average playhouse. This really reminds me of Patrick Dougherty’s work, but on a kid-size scale. The playhouse was a finalist in the 2007 Grand Designs Awards and is large enough so the parents can…

Welcome to New Sponsor: Little Flourishes
You may not know this but I grew up in Australia (although I was born in the States) and I actually get quite choked up over seeing the flora and fauna of my adopted, childhood land. So, I was more than thrilled to discover this uniquely Australian brand, Little Flourishes. But you don't have to…

MarMar Spring Summer 2013
There’s just something about Danish children’s clothing that has a hold on me. I seek out Danish, everyday, children’s clothing — just so that the kids can “wear it every day.” There’s something about it that feels so good to the touch and to the eye — it’s like the Danish countryside and sea…
