• Baby's Fine, Rain or Shine

  I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in New York the weather has been completely unpredictable. Just when I think it looks great for a walk around the neighborhood, storm clouds blow in and the rain comes down. Five minutes later the sun is shining. This stylin' double duty parasol could have come in handy this week.   Read More...

• Hammock Update: Sleep Tight for Less

  You heard about the ancient art of hammock sleeping here, in a post I wrote back in March. Although I do really love the Husamok, I’ve found a great alternative that’s about a quarter of the price.

• Droolworthy: Fanciful Pony Swings by George's Creations

  Don't let the simplistic website fool you -- George's Creations has not only been fashioning gorgeous creatures out of old nylon belted tires ever since 1995, their stunning pony swings are very affordable compared to some of the more mainstream (and boring) competition. Prices include shipping (and some of these babies weigh 65 pounds) and range from $130 to $150; or, if you can pick up from them in Lexington, South Carolina, they're just $100 each.  I think my favorite is the red dragon (pictured above). A few of the other available animals are shown after the jump. And if you think I didn't announce to my husband that we need to take a road trip to South Carolina when I found this place, you are sorely mistaken. Read More...
