Isaac is a very happy little guy, who loves trucks and music and spinning around and around on the kitchen floor. He was born eight weeks early, but you'd never know it now. For last year's birthd...

Our sister site, Re-Nest, is currently asking readers to submit their best repurposing idea for their Creative Reuse 2008 feature. We spied the Milk Jug as Kid-Friendly Planter Project post and thou...
Planning and designing the nurseries for our babes was fulfilling and just plain fun. We all do it differently - some are meticulous planners, others just put it together on the fly. We like this nu...
This double-sided porcelain nursing ring emblazoned with "left" and "right" was designed by Ysabelle Podguszer as a chic, grown-up memory aid for breast-feeding women. It's part of her Poup'ké collec...

TGIF, right? We're kicking off today's edition of Scavenger with this Orange OFFI Friend Bench in Minneapolis. We'd say there's room for three young friends on it at least. We also found two diff...
It almost hurts a little to discover these at a time when we, along with the rest of the country, are tightening our purse strings. They're called Cheekeyes and are the creation of Dutch designer R...
We like to keep a mental list of go-to gifts that are useful and gender neutral. This one is going on the list. The adorable Hare is a comb and brush set (the ears)....
Where we live, the leaves don't really do the glorious autumnal thing (unless you consider brown to be glorious), which makes us a little wistful every year. But this fall bunting, as made by Maya at ...
Lucy "Goosey" Annabelle turns ONE today! We hope her day is as fun as a day on the beach!
She celebrated last evening with family, chocolate cake and by playing under the table at dinner with big...
We've covered Oeuf's Sparrow crib and twin bed, here at Ohdeedoh and they still remain a favorite. The muted, soft color of the crib and bed goes well with just about any palette -- and we love the r...
Less is definitely more. How lovely is this simple installation of pumpkins piled on a bookshelf? ...
There's nothing girly or old-fashioned about this cardboard house and matching garage from French company Carton Chic. Made from 100% ecologically produced wood pulp cardboard, it's is a blank slate t...
Your baby may as well get some studying done while doing his or her tummy time. Both of these numbers rugs are marketed to adults so this may be a case of nursery design trickling out to all corner...
We know a thing or two about nightlights -- enough to tell you that, in our expert opinion, this one is really, really, really, really nice. As much a piece of light sculpture as it is a functional li...

This week, we showed our continued obsession with play kitchens. This one really hits the spot....

With so much focus on how environmentally unfriendly diapers are, baby wipes have sort of slipped under the eco-radar. Erin recently wrote us to share a green how-to:
I'd been freaking out about t...
Do you have dozens of blocks underfoot? Hundreds of Lego pieces? Craft supplies coming out the yinyang? Yeah, so do we. These things seem to have a way of migrating to the living room, so you may as w...
If your child’s room is short on space, but desperate for storage we thought these Locker Bins, available at PB Teen, were both funky and functional....
Retro patterns AND organic fabric? Sign us up. These lions and tigers and kitties (oh my!) would look equally at home in a little girl or little boy's room. (They're also available in a crib set, if y...
Penny pinchers and recyclers in Denver, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. - this Scavenger's for you. Someone in the Mile High City is going to enjoy this modern Offi crib (left) while someone in ou...

We love to reuse good packaging around the house, especially when it's a product we buy over and over. Recently, we noticed many of you have used the crates clementine oranges are packed for organizi...
Yet another darling tented bed, this gauzy canopy is given a fairy-tale touch by stringing it with LED lights. The bedding is from Les Petites Emplettes, who make a small selection of home accessories...

We cannot tell a lie. We covet these wooden (of course) Pinocchio figures. Sometimes the best way to engage a child with a book or story is through something tangible that they can interact with. ...
Believe it or not, Halloween is nearly upon us. We're thinking about cutting out of the office early, gathering together some friends with young children and partying (until 8 p.m.). A few jack o la...

Her mom writes: She will be celebrating her birthday next week with a Gnomes and Fairies birthday party wit...
After two babies, we've still never owned a "real" diaper bag. Our excuse: the right one never came along. Most are a bit too large, too froufrou, and too single-purpose for us. But the new Compact Jo...
Remington Aristotle turns ONE today! He got the party started early this weekend. Here he is rocking his birthday crown!
Remington turned one today. He had a great party over the weekend surround...
