Jump below for links to these & LOTS more hot posts from the las...
There are plenty of animal alphabets out there and there's something special about each one. Pearlyn of Kaching Design captures the simplicity of childhood with her rendition of a menagerie of 26 c...
It's a fairly safe understatement to say that we here in the Ohdeedoh universe like pennant garlands used in kid decor. We're always on the lookout for new iterations, and this version, created by Mol...
We love Jan from Poppytalk, so when we found out she'd curated September's featured items at Fawn & Forest, we rushed over to see what she'd found. She didn't disappoint. These yoyos, made of sustaina...
We know you love Etsy as much as we do. If you haven't already, you still have the weekend to vote for your favorites in their Handmade Kids Challenge. What's in it for you? A chance to win one ...
We admit it. We're utter and complete bibliophiles and we're happy to say that our son is gladly following in our footsteps. Since this is Back to School and Book month at Ohdeedoh, we've rounded up...
Our little sister was an early green crusader and insisted on bringing her lunch to school (Catholic school at that!) in a cloth Crown Royal Whiskey bag. This Apple-a-Day lunchbag by Spool Sewing i...
Ada is the daughter of a deployed Daddy. Her first birthday is cupcake themed and we plan on recording the whole thing so Daddy can watch it.
Ada, we know your birthday will be a special day for yo...
It's shaping up to be bedding week here on Ohdeedoh. Here's a shout-out to Olivia at Amenity for tipping us off to the annual summer sample sale at Plover. Everything, including their beautiful baby q...
What do you do with that one skein of yarn that sits in your basket after you've completed a project? There are only so many baby booties you can make. After watching our orphan skeins sitting and si...
Welcome to this Friday's Scavenger. We're rounded up a Zippy Inglesina, wicker bassinet, Tadpoles cherry blossom crib set and more from Chicago, San Diego and a few other cities.
The Ohdeedoh Sc...
The weather's turning chilly, but that's no reason why kids can't burn off some energy indoors with this hopscotch floor sticker......
Wooden blocks will never go out of style. Young kids get confidence from stacking them (and then knocking them down) while older kids become small architects and build more elaborate structures. ...
The coolest steps in the world? Maybe. Built of custom-made decks, these stairs are a feature at the Roarockit Skateboard School in Toronto. We can easily imagine something similar leading up or down ...
We love Amenity's bedding and wondered how they could match the cuteness of their 2007 collection. We needn't have worried. These '70s-inspired ducks, frogs, and squirrels are a perfect marriage of na...
Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars, if only you could bar wars, let this one stay… Our brother actually had Star Wars bedding back in the 70s (it was itchy polyester), so seeing Pottery Barn's versio...
The rocking horse goes prehistoric with the "Rockasaurus," a modern wooden rocking dinosaur that puts a fresh spin on the precious nursery classic......
This nursery photo caught our eye in a recent post on ATLA about Australian designer Greg Natale. We wanted to know more so we Googled around a bit and learned that the pattern is that of renowned ...
We're sending out big birthday wishes to Bix who turns four today. Along with some other intrepid undersea explorers, Bix will be celebrating his special day at the aquarium. Dive into a great bir...
The other day, Ohdeedoh reader Pencils asked a good question in the comments section of this post:
When are manufacturers going to stop selling their bedding only in sets that contain bumpers? I hav...
While these new Woven Washable Shallow Baskets, by Williams-Sonoma, are meant for the kitchen we think they would be perfect in the nursery.
...
Swedish designer Karin Mannerstål found that the old spoon-as-airplane gimmick wasn't cutting it with her jaded kids anymore. Instead she created rabbit, teddy bear, cat, and monkey cutlery to kee...
We recently spied this display that Taryn (who runs an Etsy shop called littlewhirl) created for her daughter's room. Our first thought: How charming! Our second thought: Hey, we could do that!...
If the start of the school season has you thinking of hopping on the chalk board bandwagon, but you're not quite ready to commit to lavishing paint on an entire wall, these panels by notNeutral may ea...
Name: Kim and Baby Haley
Location: Southwest Virginia
You may remember Kim's room, from the charming clothes rack featured here last spring. A lot has changed in the nursery since then. What we lo...
Give your child something more to play with than his or her food at mealtimes with the Puzzle Dinner Tray from Dutch company Royal VKB... ...
Do your kids do as many chores as you did? The average 6-12 year old spends about 24 minutes a day helping out around the house - a 25% drop from 1981 - and probably an even steeper drop from your ...
If you've ever futilely tried to explain to a three-year-old that "just one more minute" elapsed ten minutes ago, and no, really, you have to leave for preschool now, the Time Timer might sound pretty...
Themed birthday parties are always such fun. The possibilities are endless and when you've found the right theme, you know it. We love the beautiful Chinese-themed birthday party Andrea, of Hula Se...
These two young ladies recently celebrated at a joint birthday party in Petaluma, CA. As you can see, the cake was a hit - especially the chocolate butter crème frosting. We hope these girls are ...
We've got some mid-week modern finds for you in this edition of the Scavenger. For starters, this lacquer and ash changing table by David Netto. And check out this Starck for Maclaren high chair....
We've seen stroller/artist collaborations before, but this might be our favorite to date. Reader Adam wrote in with a tip about the new Quinny by Henrik Vibskov collection. ...
Maybe our hankering after lush fabrics and opulent colors is the first intimation that fall is just around the corner. Whatever the cause, we find this tufted headboard quite pleasing. With its rich p...
Well, we're officially in back-to-school mode. Whether your child is excited or dismayed by this fact, we think this fun-looking desk and bookcase will either stoke them further... or at least ease th...
Kris sent us an email: A while ago, I saw a series (I think it was a series) of red riding hood books that were drawn very cool. Now that I think about it, I don't think riding hood was just red. I ...
This 21st-century remake of the classic French school desk for the home is the work of Philippe Starck. Skool is made from lacquered fiberglass on a steel base and works for kids up to age five. After...
The Stokke Tripp Trapp has plenty of admirers, but the deal breaker for many (besides the price) is the lack of a tray. As a partial remedy, Stokke had introduced the Table Top. ...
Stacy needs help sourcing some pretty cute nursery bedding: Can the readers of Ohdeedoh help me? I saved these photos of some nursery bedding, but now my preggo brain can't remember from what website!...
"Everyone knows that babies crawl before they walk, and that tricycles come before two-wheelers. But at what age should children get their first cellphone, laptop or virtual persona?"
Of course, when...
Even though today is meant be a day off for everyone, we thought it would be fun to celebrate Labor Day by rounding up some of our favorite DIY and How To posts. What would a day off be, without some...
