I don't know about you, but with Valentines day images and gimmicks popping up all over the place, I find it quite difficult to not get into it... I've got love on the mind. It's not that we need the VDay concept, as Jews we're so lucky that we get to have somewhat of a love-reinstatement once a month! I don't necessarily understand investing all your relationship-ness into one day of the year... but I have to say, it is rather thoughtful to have a day/time of year to focus on and appreciate your love-life. So I admit, I've been inspired. Sometimes it's hard to remember that we were wives before mothers, brides before wives, and hot single ladies before that! : )
Want to dedicate some posts this week to help reinstall some bedroom fun, update the routine, break the rut, and focus on the loveliness of love... Stay tuned.
Thought I'd feature this, just in case some of you have never heard of or seen the Taga before (thanks, Leah!)... prepare to be wow-ed! Try and wrap your modern-mom-minded head around this puppy... : )
In the spirit of the Puj Baby Folding Infant Bath post (which got lots of great feedback), I wanted to share some kitchen utensils in the same vein. Sleek, modern, colorful, and functional - Joseph Joseph Kitchenwares delivers the ultimate food prep experience. I'm sure you have seen some of their products (you've definitely come across the colorful nesting bowls!), as their unique ability to match form and function has earned them global recognition for their multi-award-winning designs. Here's a few of my favorites:
1. Folding Colander $20.00
my kitchen version of the Puj Baby : )
2. Nesting Bowls (8) $50.00
my favorite prep/mixing/(even) serving bowls - oh-so-cheerful!
3. Compact Herb Chopper $25.00
makes gourmet garnishes a (teeny-tiny) breeze!
4. Cutting Board Index $65.00
cross-contamination obliteration.
5. Square Colander $11.00
stop wishing you had a third hand - just use one!
6. Fold Flat Grater $20.00
space saving grace.
Digging this storage bin from Skip Hop! Super cute, totally functional in general - but I think this is the perfect solution to the two-story home "stuff" issue. Place this box on the bottom step, nix the daily frustration, and stop making innumerable trips up that flight of stairs! At the end of the day this bin will be filled with random wandering "upstairs" objects (your 2nd grader's library book, toddler's stuffed animals, someone's PSP, your bedroom TV remote (??), the freshly laundered bathroom hand towels, etc.) - now homeward bound all together in one simple little carry-bin, and one simple trip upstairs... : )
Bin-Go Storage Bin by Skip Hop $24.99
