I have to see a man about a dog...

Last night Kev, Seth and I watched "Leatherheads" and now I can't get 1920s fashion out of my head. I want a hat!



I've always loved the 20s, especially since reading "The Great Gatsby" in high school (and then again in college, and then again after college, and then again...).

ModCloth has these and other awesome dresses, and of course, Etsy is a great place to find vintage fashions. Check them out and you'll fall in love too.

Something to sit on.

How perfect are these pillows for my hammock? Um, really really perfect. Do you know how much I love sitting in my hammock, watching the baby eat grass? It's so refreshing and funny. you see, she prefers not to be in the hammock unless she's sleepy. So instead of rocking with mama in the hammock, she sits on the grass while the dog rocks in the hammock with mama.

My backyard daydreaming would be complete with some beachy, citrus-colored pillows like these. They come as a set, which is the best. Really. Who likes seeing an awesome pillow and finding out that it's $20 for just one? Not me.

Plan Toys on Gilt Groupe

Kev recently brought home some animal figurines for Aspen, and she mostly loves sticking them in her mouth to suck on them right now.

However, that doesn't keep me from imaging her someday lining them up and playing... jungle... ? with them. Afterall, Paul showed her how last Sunday. Only, I'm not sure the snake flashlight counts as a predator.

Regardless, I loved these dress up animals ($12) the moment I saw them. Maybe they won't know whether they're predator or prey, but at least they'll look good!
The "outfits" are reversible and so fun! Hopefully Aspen wouldn't think it's okay to dress the dog. I mean, we never do that at our house.
Another animal toy that caught my eye is this ($4) fishy. He's on a line, which retracts when your little one holds the wooden rod. I grew up fishing on occassion with my Grandpa, so I love this. Much more simple than those magnetic fishing toys, yes?

I also love this boat set. So cute with the little sailor head! And at only $10, how can you resist? Wooden toys have become a favorite right now. They're so versatile; perfect for stacking, chewing, knocking together, and they make a great sound when they're tossed into Aspen's wooden sorting box.

The Plan Toys sale on Gilt Groupe ends June 11th, so don't miss out!

and the band played on

This piano is pint-sized just for your little one. How sophisticated and cute at the same time.

Of if you're more into traditional children's toys/music, then maybe you'd like the band in a box. Everything your little one needs to get the whole family involved in making music. So cute!

Right now Aspen is content to just hit wooden blocks together, but that's still music to my ears.
