Here’s an update on Edie and now Tommy’s shared room. It’s a bit of a squeeze in her, but the layout still leaves room for a little area to play and read. Storage has been the key in keeping this room clutter free and livable.

To all you wonderful Mum’s and caregivers,

Happy Mother’s Day.

I must have been struck by the soft toy fairy. I’m NEVER a soft toy person, but I keep finding all of these little beauties. I feel like everything I post lately is Scandinavian, clearly the home of good design and wonderful it’s made it’s way stateside.

Our local toy store, Plue, carries a lot of wonderful things by Djeco. Their stickers are quite beautifully illustrated, along with their puzzles and magnets etc.. Edie has been working on actual jigsaw puzzles, opposed to the wooden ones, and this little set has been a good jumping off point.

This lady has been begging me to buy the Sad Joe pillow for Edie for all of her little life, and I’m finally coming around to thinking she ‘needs’ one. These beautifully designed soft things are so lovingly created by two Camilla’s in Copenhagen.

I may not have twins, but I have still found away to dress my children embarrassingly similar. Case in point, these Mini Rodini swimsuits, available at Sweet William

Vote small and pretty for the Top 25 Kids’ Style  blog over on circle of moms. far too many great blogs up for this, but it’s great motivation.

Elegant and striking, the Perch bunk bed is the perfect centerpiece for any child’s room. Its compact footprint leaves plenty of room for play and additional furnishings. The bunk’s low height makes it accessible and safe. The versatile Perch easily separates into a loft bed and a standalone twin, giving multiple configuration options.

I adore this brand, it strikes the perfect balance between whimsy and graphic with a soft palette.
