Can't get enough of Jonathan Adler Junior

Not only am I obsessed with Jonathan Adler pottery, furniture and pillows, his new Junior line is to die for! I recently purchased this hot pink upholstered chair for the girls' play-room and not only do they love sitting in it, so do I. I find that the three of us fight over who will sit in it first, practically pushing the other off the seat (yes, I did say three of us, me included).  The sophisticated style in just the right punch of color is what every kid's room needs.  My next purchase will be the lion needlepoint pillow. Before you go and buy all of your nursery/kid room items at Pottery Barn Kids be sure to give Jonathan Adler Junior some consideration!  BTW, the Ironworks Trellis Dhurrie Rug was purchased from Shades of Light.

Mini Boden for Spring/Summer - NEW OUTFITS!!

Shopping for cute Spring/Summer outfits for your little one? I've been really lucky with this Canadian brand, Mini Boden.  The quality is great, the designs are adorable and the colors are perfect for the little ones.  They have an adult line that I am not quite as fond of but the kid's line is definitely worth a try.  The sizes run a bit big and tend to shrink VERY little in the dryer.  I would size down.  I also recently found out that some Nordstroms locations will carry them in stock too.

Great Travel Toy for the Little and Not So Little

Have you noticed that your toddler gravitates towards your remote control, phone, keyboard, light switches, basically anything with buttons? Well, I came across this happy accident at my pediatrician's office.  He had one of these old-school multiplication push button boards in the wait area and my 1 year old sat there and played with it quietly for nearly 30 minutes.  Of course I took notice as well as every other parent in the waiting room.  The very next day I ran out to buy one and 4 months later it is still a great toy that keeps her happily busy for enough time that it's worth it! The best was when we were on a 5 hour flight and I brought it along.  No loose pieces, no obnoxious sounds and light enough to throw in your carry-on.

Recently Remodeled and Needed New High Chair - Stoke Tripp Trapp

We recently begun remodeling the house and our Prima Pappa Best High Chair was no longer fitting the bill.  It became too bulky, difficult to clean and if any moisture is left on the chair cover it will deteriorate.  The search was on for a chair that was slim, modern, easy to clean and adjustable.  What we found was the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair.  It comes in a rainbow variety of colors to choose from as well as a good assortment of accessories.  Since our home consists of shades of blue and gray, we went with the navy and a plaid pink cushion.  I even sprung for the play tray in clear (comes in black & white).  I could not be happier with this chair! We've had it for 6 months now and it cleans up easily.  The tray is removable and you can wash it in the sink, no problem.  It worked out so well, that I bought two, one for each of my girls, Rocky (3) and Sophie (1).  Rocky doesn't use the tray but loves that her chair matches her sister's.
