OK, so I admit I am a complete sucker for pretty things. My wife and I have been looking for a cute diaper bag that I would feel comfortable toting around for a long time now. We have found a couple online that are quite nice, but I could never justify paying $150 [...]

The huge amount of baby equipment that people want you to buy is almost overwhelming. There are things that are nice to have and there are things that you really need. In an attempt to cover some of the basics we figure that we at least need a car seat to get the [...]

I may have mentioned it before, but my wife and I have been looking for a duvet for a while now. We have been using a off white one that we got from Ikea before we were married, and it’s starting to look a little blah. There are of course plenty of duvets [...]

Exclusively from CB2, these hand-blocked screen printed pillows have bright prints of poppy’s and stripes. Printed on 100% easy-care cotton, and stuffed with a feather insert, these pillows not only look good, but are probably nice and squishy too.

I’ve been a long time fan of Modest Mouse, and have almost all of their albums. They recently released a new one that I haven’t had an opportunity to listen to yet. It’s called “We were dead before the ship even sank”. I was wondering if there were any other Modest Mouse [...]

Part of Todd Oldhams La-Z-Boy collection the Snap Coffee Table has a nice blend of Mid-Century flair and clean simple modernism. The Snap table has four storage cubbies in its walnut wrapped top, and is suspended on four nickel finished hairpin legs. This table used to be at Target for $359, but is [...]
