November wish list

When you change one thing, you have to change everything, right? We need new throw pillows, so when I started looking from some I realized we also need a new rug in my daughter's room, and it would be nice to have a new mirror as well. Also, glitter nail polish. Like how I snuck that in there? 

Caitlin Wilson's blog and online boutique has some gorgeous pillows and fabric. These might be a tiny bit feminine for my husband's taste- but with two daughters and a wife, he is doesn't have much of a case against pink.

The original POOLS by Kelly Klein is now a collectors item and a first edition sells for $900ish dollars on Amazon. We have a copy (sadly not a first edition) and it never fails to captivate guests. Plus it's ginormous and looks good on a coffee table. I don't know what more can possibly said about JBKO, but don't worry I intend to find out! The wine stopper is from the much anticipated AERIN line by Estee Lauder's grand-daughter, and the driving loafers are my absolute favorite shade of watermelon-pink.

press here

Press Here by Herve Tullet is so much fun to read. It's hilariously low-tech and so creative. I thought my daughter might get bored with it after the first few readings, but ah....no, definitely not.

 It's also a welcome change from the let's! have! an! adventure! books that are so heavily marketed to pre-schoolers. Basically the book instructs readers to "press here" and the yellow dot multiplies, gets bigger, gets smaller and moves around with each subsequent page. It's a fun way to talk about size, color, number, right/left, up/down, etc without being all teacher-ly about it.
