Temporary Tats
While I've got body art on my mind, how many of you have happened upon the super-cute temporary tat line known as Tattly?? I fondly remember sporadic family dinner trips to the local kosher diner, and my parents giving my siblings and I a few quarters to mess around with in the vending machines. We always came home with some uber-cheesy temporary tattoos, and proceeded to nag my parents to apply them to little forearms, wrists, and ankels after bathtime with a wet sponge and some pressure. Temporary tattoos are totally a part of my childhood (especially the part where I got caught sporting one at school!), but I never thought the day would come when this easy little paper-and-water applicated body art-form made it to design-y cult status! Meet Tattly...

Here are a slew of my favorites:
Fantastic, right?? The "Tattone" number just cracks me up! And naturally, I'm smitten by those Eames rockers. And that scribble onto a little boys arm? Pretty believably Sharpie-gone-awry! (And I want to smack that Mother anchor right onto my pumped up forearm - it deserves some love after all the freakishly-nesting scrubbing and scouring I did this morning!). :)
But this one just takes the cake! Love?
Also, I can think of so many people I'd love to gift with this "complete kitchen" set!
How fun!!
Pregnancy Dreaming...
These images from Pregnant Chicken totally made me laugh out loud. (But none as much as Hugh Jackman's!)
Belly Art
Have any of you mamas out there ever done pregnant belly art? I'm so intrigued by the concept! I've been seen henna-decorated bellies since my pregnancy with Frieda, but never thought I'd actually go for it! Perhaps it's due to the fact that I'm currently on a decorating-stint with nesting our new home and all... or maybe I just like the fear-factor of messing the thing up and being stuck with some gnarly brown design on my stomach for the next 2 weeks. :)
In any case, I'm totally smitten by the ritual and plan on picking up a henna set and letting my husband go wild with his middle-eastern side this weekend - right onto my growing belly. Here's to celebrating the life we grow inside - through random and far-out rituals!!
