Cutest Critters & Wall Decals

About those Skokie critters... : ) The first thing Freida wants to do here each morning is go out into the backyard and chase the critters. Chipmunks, squirrels, robins, and rabbits - her favorite, are all there playing on the green waiting to greet the day. Her sheer excitement over the little wild things roaming free is uncontainable. She runs after them, one at a time, until they disappear into the shrubbery, laughing gleefully through the whole process. I sip my coffee and relish in watching my little girl's unbridled joy. Summer morning bliss.

All this reminds me of a post I did a while back - these sweet forest wall decals. Feel like I'm here in the forest with all these lil' guys....

I've been helping my sister-in-law (can't wait to see them, Esther!) out with a project this week, so I've got wall-decor on the mind. Check out these retro-chic wallpaper animal silhouettes! Each animal is hand-cut from vintage wallpaper in fabulous patters, bringing a totally designer-style twist to any wall - that will delight artful adults, as well as enchant the kiddos.

Mamas & Papas USA Debut

This just in; Mamas & Papas of UK is now available for purchase in the USA. For those of you who remember when I posted this über sleek stroller, and actually followed the link to its' producers - I'm sure you can't forget some of the fabulously functional gear featured there. Well, Great Britians #1 baby brand has landed, but unfortunately they only brought with them a selection of items... Available at their US website, currently for pre-order at Babies R' Us, and coming to other select stores shortly. Too bad the Mylo and the Morph didn't make it over...

Also, in case you are one shipment-savvy mama who handles business overseas... check out the M&P summer sale going on now.

My Little Swinging Thing

She's not really that interested in doing much else here... She could swing for hours watching all the skokie critters.

Been thinking about getting an indoor swings at home for a while now... happened upon this one from SoftLine, designed by Busk + Hertzog. Streamlined enough to double up as extra seating in the living room, and available in a fabulous array of felted color options, this sweet swing totally made me look!

Animals 101

Here's one of our new favorites, The Elephant Song by Eric Herman and the Invisible Band. Kudos to this wonderfully silly, and incredibly simplistic graphical creation - artistic and creative perfection on all fronts, Mr. Herman! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yihq8BIhL9c&feature=related]

And for all you totally-tech-savvy mama's, get the beloved iPhone app here.

Origami Gone Wild

Remember these hot little owls that I posted about in the fall? This month, Mibo brings to life a new collection by Madeline Rogers, the Wild Bunch. Standing at up to 5½″ tall, each of these animals takes about 10 minutes to complete - and all you need is a computer printer, scissors, a ruler, and some glue. Perfect as an extra activity to have on hand...

Mibo Wild Bunch £7.50
