I absolutely love the simplicity. Babies really don't need much, and this room has all the necessities, done beautifully, without extra clutter. The colors are super-soothing, and I ADORE the picture of the mouse with the cheese! Lovely!

Great links! We LOVE books at our house and are always looking for good recommendations.

What a fantastic idea! I love the beautiful paper patterns that you chose. My 2 y/o daughter loves pinwheels, so we're definitely going to try this. I also think I'm going to post a link to this on my blog as a great summer craft idea. Thanks for sharing!

I love them! I can already think of things to organize in them. And the red and the turquoise are fab colors. Thanks for a great link.

Oh, how I wish we could find something like this in the US.... It's a great product, but by the time you convert Euros to Dollars and pay the shipping....Yikes!

I think the changing table at their website is gorgeous too! I like the softly curving edges.

I like 4 of them and don't care so much for the other 2, so I guess the odds are in my favor that I'd get one that I'm OK with. It does seem a little weird that they don't let you choose... I also like the ring-stacker guy best, but then the "hammerhead" guy comes in second for me. I think he's cute!

I loved it too, and was sad to see that it's no longer available. Maybe someone should let the company know that we want them to make more! :-)

I have to disagree with paperdollsforboys. I think the characters are all charming and just silly and colorful enough to take the scary edge off for kids. I think that when kids are around fun "harmless" monsters, it takes away some of the fear from the IDEA of monsters. I think these sculptures are creative and great. It'd be great if somebody here would take off with the idea at some of our playgrounds.

I definitely use my coffee maker the most, but I LOVE - and wouldn't trade - my cast iron/ceramic dutch cooker. What a great giveaway! The book looks fantastic. Pick me please...

The Company Store has what they call a "sling chair" - also with arms - http://www.thecompanystore.com/parent/Chairs Ottomans/3711/XO95X/&An=102&A=4062

REI has a more mod-looking armless version called the "Lafuma Transatube Fun Chair"

Happy Shopping!

It would either go in our living room where our 2 y/o can do puzzles with us on its cozy softness, or in her room where she can snuggle up to read books or play with her animals. What a great giveaway!! Cheers!

We also love California Baby and use their "Overtired and Cranky" bubble bath, which also smells great. The bubble wand is a HUGE hit at bath time, and there are 2 inside for parent and child. We also love their Calendula cream for almost everything - - scrapes, burns, diaper rash, chapped cheeks, etc, and they have great sunscreen, including one that comes in a handy "stick" for easy diaper bag transport.

Our 2 y/o is already beginning to read and LOVES rhyming, so I know these would be a hit. The bold artwork is fab too! Keeping fingers crossed....

Three books we love are: "Old Turtle" by Douglas Wood with phenomenal watercolor illustrations and a great message; "One Red Dot" by David Carter with a red dot hidden in fabulous pop-up artwork on each 2-page spread, and "Friends" by Helme Heine with a fun story and engaging/fun watercolor illustrations. I'm actually buying an extra copy of "Friends" so I can use a couple of the pages to frame and hang in our daughter's room!

We had the Parents Busy Zoo from Target, and it was the most played with toy for a year and a half (from when she was 1 'til 2 and a half) by her and pretty much every child that came over to play! She still got lots of great use out of it, even after that. I'd highly recommend it!
