Toy boxes made better than most toys these days. Also? On sale.
From the day we discovered Kirsten Hathcock's beautifully handmade storage pieces at Mod Mom Furniture, we fell in love. A Mod Mom toy box looks as beautiful as any other furniture in the house, even if it is made to hide decapitated Barbies and wayward LEGO pieces. And now, there are not only some gorgeous new styles, but some of the classics are on sale at great prices.

The hippest paper dolls in the history of paper dolls. (Possibly a true fact.)
My kids have definitely developed an obsession with paper dolls since I unearthed the ultimate guide to free printable paper dolls on the web. But if you're willing to spend just a few dollars, I've found some that are seriously fantastic. And uh...not just for kids.

One way to get kids to eat their fruit. If you don't steal it first.
My kids, as with all kids, are obsessed with gummies. But I find that fruit chews give them the same satisfaction with a little less guilt. On my part. Hooray for a new brand that avoids the guilt entirely, and just in time for me to seek out new lunchbox snacks for camp.

Sending beautiful birth announcements and baby shower invitations just got easier. Way easier.
Paperless Post has saved my hide on more than one ocassion in the last 3 years since they launched. I've used this wonderful service to send digital kids' party invitations, adult party invitations, thank you notes, and yeah, apology notes for not sending a thank you note sooner.
We're so excited that they're now launching an extensive collection just for new parents starting today. And we get to be the first to tell you about it!
Also? It's gorgeous.

Fun DIY place card ideas for children's parties. Makes us want to go to a party!
Should you be the type of parent who is actually able to wrangle the kids into assigned seats at a child's birthday party (or say, at the children's table at your adult party?) you'll be needing place cards. You can even hand out the place cards when the kids walk in so they can claim their own seats. Either way, these fun ideas are so much better than a folded piece of card stock.
(And psst...wedding blogs can be a great source of inspiration.) -Liz
