getting lost

by Tara on December 13, 2011

I’ve been spending so much time online every day that often I get lost… or perhaps tangled shall I say?  Tangled in the world wide web.  Today I am somehow completely and utterly immersed in the travels of a little Christmas mouse staying over in Australia at the home of two young boys and one incredibly talented mum.  I am in complete admiration of this mom’s crafty little tradition.  How wonderful for her boys to wake each morning to find that little mouse has settled in just a bit more as he waits for Christmas morning.  Delightful!!

wild hair

by Tara on November 13, 2011

My littlest one has just enough hair to wear one of these adorable felt clips.  Trouble is I just can’t quite decide which is my favorite.  And while I was uploading a few new images, I decided that we should put these adorable clips on sale, but just for a few days.  They make great stocking stuffers, and yes, those holidays are gonna be here in a heartbeat!  Use code hairclips20 to take 20% off any of the adorable styles and their super cute hair clip holders.  Code expires on the eve of the 15th.

where did you go

by Tara on November 4, 2011

Dear October,

Where did you go?  When I last turned around you were right there beside me.  Now it seems you’ve gone and left without so much as a goodbye.  You have always been my favorite amongst the twelve.  It’s ok.  No hard feelings.  I’ll see you next year.

All the best,

Tara and the squid

september giveaway

by Tara on September 13, 2011

Well you know I have a thing for stripes…

I just love these organic storage bins and this stripey guy is just one of our new arrivals waiting to find his way into a loving home!

Well sized for storing toys, books or laundry these storage bins are 17″ tall and 17″ wide with sturdy canvas handles on the side.  Made of a heavy organic cotton canvas, these bins are tough enough to hold whatever you throw in them!

To enter to win this zebra storage bin, just leave me a comment about where he’d live in your home.

The giveaway will end September 30.

crazy sale

by Tara on August 30, 2011

For the next couple days we’re having a crazy sale.  Use coupon code 20percent to take 20% off already reduced prices.  And since here in Florida we are going into September and it is still in the high 90′s, all our spring/summer clothes and shoes are still great for back to school.  Afraid it might not be warm long enough to get long wear out of a spring dress or summer tee?  Remember that most clothes can be “warmed” up so to speak, with leggings, tights, henleys, or sweaters.  The layered look is still super cool.  Buy a little bit big and it will work now with layers and later when spring rolls around again.  And we even have a few sale fall clothes from last year here and here.

Extra 20% off sale ends September 1st, so you could wait, but why?

summer giveaway

June 22, 2011

Feelin’ hot, hot, hot.  I’m hot.  Your hot.  He’s hot.  She’s hot.  We’re all hot.  Sometimes after a long day of play, or on those odd rainy days, there’s nothing like a family 1000 piece puzzle or a closet full of board games to help pass the time.  Often times it’s the Ipods and Gameboys [...]

expert juggler

June 10, 2011

I don’t really know how to juggle.  It’s one of those life skills I wish I had.I also wish I had learned how to do a backflip when I was younger.  I always thought the kids that could do backflips were super cool.  I remember this high school cheerleader at my older brother’s school that [...]
