Tara Hogan of Ink + Wit designed a wonderful collection of ready-made letterpress invitations for children. I absolutely love the orange elephant illustration! She has lots of other letterpress goodies, as well as a fantastic blog that is loaded with inspiration. Oh yeah, and she’s really cool!

There’s a great feature in the latest issue of Rhode Island Monthly on the home of Carina Schott and Karim Hamid from Nonchalant Mom (also featured as “Best Online Kids Store”). It’s a wonderful blend of livability and style, something those of us with young children know is no easy accomplishment. Very inspirational!

This past Saturday I happened to come across a very interesting (to say the least!) estate sale. The most interesting item was a Fiat Jolly, which somehow lost its way back to the Riviera and ended up in northwestern Georgia.
Tragically, I arrived shortly after someone had just picked it up for a song. It wasn’t quite as nice as the one pictured above, but nice enough considering the giveaway price! There’s just something about those wicker seats…

Climbing is a great way for kids to learn fundamental coordination skills (as well as get some serious exercise). But the heights can be dangerous and scary for some, not to mention the cost to locate and build a climbing wall. The ClimbStation is basically like a vertical treadmill for climbers, eliminating the need for a safety harness because you never get more than a few feet off of the ground.
After selecting a climbing level from 1–12, you climb at your own speed. If you’re fast, the wall rotates faster, if you stop to think about your next move (climbing is very much a mental sport as well as physical), the wall will slow down and stop if necessary to keep you in its centre. It can also tilt between +15 degrees and minus 39 degrees (for the more adventurous).
Check out the videos of it in action, it’s super-cool!
