I have dreams of living in a tiny space. Do you? I saw the eco-PERCH, a versatile home that sleeps four people. The eco-PERCH can be delivered and assembled within five days – I really like the layout!
The best part, it can either be assembled on the ground or above the ground – like a treehouse. Unfortunately, it looks like it is only available in U.K. at this time. However, if and when it becomes available in the U.S., I think it would be perfect for our little family of three.
I love getting holiday cards via snail mail, I always have! I remember when I was a child, I would run home after school everyday, simply to check the mail – especially during the holiday season. I would close my eyes and hope there would be a red or green envelope amongst the junk mail. And since my mom didn’t mind if I opened the cards, I would sit on our living room sofa and run my fingers over the glittery words and study the family photos. Now, as an adult I still adore getting holiday cards in the mail – especially if they are well-designed, beautiful and eco-friendly! That is why I love Tiny Prints, their pack a huge punch with their luxuious eco-friendly paper, beautiful designs and stunning layouts! What’s not to love?

Eben has a stuffed crocodile that I gave him as a gift when he was a baby. And even though he no longer carries it with him everywhere, it is still his most prized possession! It is worn, loved and really shows it’s age, yet it still has a special place in his bedroom and is THE only toy that he would rather no one else touch.
When I saw the new stuffed animal collection from Cate & Levi, I immediately thought of baby Eben with his stuffed lovey in tow! All of these sweet stuffed animals from Cate & Levi are made using reclaimed materials from American Apparel and filled with 100% recycled polyester. I also love the eye-popping color, wouldn’t these be a lovely bright addition to a child’s bedroom? Fantastic!
They look so soft and cuddly, I think Eben would adore the penguin – and that flamingo just makes me smile. Which is your favorite?
One of the great things about pumpkins and gourds is that they can be used as festive decor for both Halloween and Thanksgiving. Chances are you still have one or two little pumpkins still lingering amongst your Halloween decorations. While you can reuse them in your Thanksgiving decor for the rest of month, I know a better way to enjoy them. In a few simple steps, you can transform those loose pumpkins into illuminating candles for the Thanksgiving table. This is a fun activity that the entire family can do together, and these pumpkin candles also make great hostess gifts if you have been invited to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend or family member’s home.

Last summer we received a set of modern glass food storage containers from Wean Green. At first glance the fantastic colors won me over! However, it was the size of the Wean Green containers that really took the cake. The new collection includes Lunch Cubes, Wean Tubs, Wean Cubes, Snack Cubes and Wean Bowls. The 16.5 ounce Lunch Cubes are the perfect size for main meal like, sandwiches, salads, wraps, or roll ups. The Wean Tubs hold 5.1 ounces which is great for fruit, veggies, or cheese sticks. The Snack Cubes and Wean Bowls each hold 7 ounces and are perfect for yogurt, granola or pretzels. The Wean Cubes holds 4 ounces and is a great container for dips or salad dressing.
The smaller sizes of the Wean Green containers ensure that they stack perfectly inside his lunchbox with room for his water bottle too! And it has helped us keep his portions within the recommended amounts, reducing his lunch food waste. Last year, we were sending much larger glass containers that were heavy, bulky, didn’t fit well in his lunchbox, and would come home with a lot of uneaten food.
Wean Green containers are made out of tempered glass (which is 5x stronger than regular glass, so I don’t have to worry too much about breakage, boys drop things!) with polypropylene plastic lids that are BPA, phthalate and PVC free. These watertight lids have a silicone airtight seal that snaps closed, so there is never leaking! Hooray for no leaking! And since they can go in the freezer or microwave, they are really the perfect all around food storage.
Do you have a favorite storage container that you use in your child’s lunchbox?
