I think its placemats embedded in the table. Cool.

Another option are some photographs or a painting like at http://customtoyportrait.com. I took pictures of my toddlers baby shoes and have tucked them into our photo album. Years from now, someone will wonder why I have pictures of little tiny shoes, but they make me happy and don't take up a lot of space.

I think it seems like a happy, crazy, creative, chaotic household, and a genuinely loving couple who are doing what they love and finding success. Wouldn't work for everyone, but it does for them and their clients. Hooray!

I love this . This kind of "magic" creates fond memories. There is nothing wrong with pretend, fanatiscal stories, the Easter Bunny, and big dreams. Childhood is too big and too fleeting to be bounded by reality.

I understand the need to pitch things, but some things are worth saving. My grandmother and my mother saved cards and letters. They have both passed. What a treat to have my mother's letters home when she was a young woman starting out on her own and to have all of her 1940s gradeschool valentines pasted into her scrapbook. These are what I would save if the house were on fire.

A pooper-scooper. A really nice one- from my in-laws. Seriously. We have two big dogs and I use it all the time. But kind of hard to wrap.

We are a family of five with varied tastes. I think its still a good value and will pay the higher price.

Oh, yes, you were misled! While sun in Seattle is a beautiful thing, it can be fleeting. Nothing remotely close to a California summer! Sorry for your longing. Maybe a quick trip to somewhere sunny?

Borrow/rent a kid backpack. It will be a smoother "ride" than any stroller on the trail. Make sure you adjust the straps so that it fits well.

I completely agree with the comments on rats. I thinks rats are superior in many ways- they are sweet and very social animals. BUT they don't have the same kinds of funky habitats as hamsters.

We make s'mores after peep "jousting". Each peep has a toothpick - as they melt one will impale the other - a winner!

I like it, but I'd paint the interior of the cabinet for some additional punch.

What about a tall plant/tree that has some height and interesting colors or leaf-shape in a nice vibrant pot. I have a false palm that is about 18 years old. Its a little odd, but I love it.
