Consignment store fans, rejoice! This new website will have you reveling in the exciting retail possibilities now available for your young ones. Eco-Fashion Rocks provides us with a venue to buy and sell children's clothing through the www. Send in gently worn clothing, and receive a bank account transfer for what they're worth - easy as pie! What a wonderful way to ease up on some of our storage space while spring cleaning, or rid ourselves of unworn babygifts etc. all while making an easy buck. Eco-fashion Rocks is also a super-cool place to spot a designer bargain such as this lovely Oilily dress ($23)! There's not much selection on the site right now (though it definitely looks up-and-coming!), but with some searching I came across some great designer pieces from Oilily, Petite Bateau etc. Totally the hottest novelty-retail concept since Ebay! : )
Happy scavenging!

Check out that Eames hook knockoff!! No bad at all... : )
Apparently Ikea has entered the electronics industry, now featuring a branded baby monitor. The Ikea PATRULL is going for $24.99, and seems simple and modern enough to become the next every-parent-owned Ikea basic.
I hope you all remembered to spring those clocks ahead last night (kinda sucks waking up at the wrong hour!)... I always loved this time of year, but being a mom, I realize how many pleasant benefits come with the springtime time-change (I'm looking forward to a few weeks that start like today's did: not being summoned to the crib with good morning baby-babble until 7:45-am)!! I love having some daylight hours to enjoy in the house after having put the baby down vs. feeling the night is deeply upon us by the time the tot's finally in bed, love that the time-change crept up just as I was trying to move Freida's nap from 9:30-am to 10:30-am (makes it all that much easier now that she won't be wiped out until at least 10-am for the rest of the week!), and simply put I love, love, love this cheerful season! Each year I make it a springtime ritual to buy daffodils every week in spring - it brings some sort of instant magical joy to the home; and when Trader Joe's offers 10 stems for $1.49, it's much too hard to pass up. The bunches come completely closed but bloom fully over night, promising a touch of springtime and a smile!!
