Straweseome is my favorite place for reusable glass straws that are super durable and look great in a smoothie. I love the combination of colors and designs! My favorite part is some of the decorative straws have a raised design, so when you lay them on the table, they don’t roll away. Brilliant!

Strawesome straws are well awesome because you can take them with you wherever you go and they are made of glass so you can use them over and over again! Imagine how many plastic straws could be saved from the landfill if everyone used a reusable glass one. Not to mention, glass doesn’t leach harmful chemicals like plastic does.

My family loves our Strawesome straws – they are the only ones that we use! We are especially fond of the smoothie and bend straws! And since they are super affordable and come with no-break guarantee, you can’t lose.

One thing that I absolutely love about gardens, is that they come in all shapes and sizes. What do you think of this mini thimble garden? Could you keep it alive? If so, get planting and let me know how it goes. If not, that’s alright, you can buy the print here.

Have you seen the newest art prints from Children Inspire Design? With lovely messages that you want your child to know – wouldn’t these be perfect in any child’s bedroom? Jump over to Inhabitots to see the new collection. Fantastic.

Writing on the wall is always fun for kids, but with Coco Boheme’s chalkboard stickers it can be fun for parents, too. These animal-shaped wall stickers are biodegradable as they’re made from a potato starch material. Each sticker is reusable and can be repositioned over and over again. Once you’re done with them, you can either compost them and return nutrients to the soil, or put them in the trash knowing that in about 6 months, 90% of the material will have biodegraded (as opposed to many decades for most vinyl stickers). The inks and glue are also eco-friendly, no chemical solvents. Stick one in a kid’s bedroom or in the entry way for family messages, wherever you decide to display these fun, eco chalkboards, adults and children alike will delight in them. Jump over to Inhabitots to check them out.
